The 2004 Barolo Vigna Enrico VI is made from the Villero vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. This is a more mineral-driven, balsamic expression of Nebbiolo. Medium in body, the wine shows plenty of complexity as it opens in the glass, along with the mentholated notes that are typical of this site. Ideally the wine needs a few years in bottle to come together, but it is also delicious today with a few hours of aeration. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
This is a set of surprisingly rich, concentrated wines from Cordero di Montezemolo, one of Piedmont’s historic properties.
