The 2009 Barolo Terlo delivers straight-up Nebbiolo appeal with detailed nuances of small berry, underbrush, pressed rose and white licorice stick. The wine is executed in an exceedingly polished and elegant style, with high energy and firmly present tannins. I especially enjoyed the silky smoothness of the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
Luigi Einaudi served as the second President of the Italian Republic (1948-1955). In his younger years, in 1897, he purchased the San Giacomo cascina in Dogliani with 40 “days” of vineyard. In popular farming culture, the size of a piece of land was estimated by how many days it took to work the land with a pair of oxen. Today, the estate counts 52 hectares of vineyards (mostly in Dogliani) including seven hectares in Barolo and three in Barbaresco.
