This pretty Barolo opens to softy earthy and fruity aromas, and it builds slowly in intensity. The Pelassa 2014 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a little more territory-driven than the warmer 2015 vintage that I tasted at the same time. The 2015 vintage is more exuberant and fruit-forward, but the 2014 peels back carefully to reveal dusty mineral, forest berry, licorice, smoke and tar. The presentation is incredibly fragile and delicate.
