This is an enriched expression that shows the intensity and tightness of Nebbiolo with just a margin of the immediate softness and accessibility of this warm vintage. The Azelia 2015 Barolo comes together well on the palate with nice precision and focus. This is a blend of fruit from seven different small vineyards, with about one-third from Castiglione Falletto and the rest from Serralunga d'Alba (largely from the Cerretta and Broglio crus). Some 22,000 bottles were made.

Elegant, laced with floral, strawberry, cherry, wild herb and eucalyptus flavors. Firms up at the end, showing good balance overall. A bit light on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2032. 2,200 cases made, 700 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
