The 2005 Barolo reveals pretty, fresh aromatics that lead to a core of dark red fruit. This a relatively soft, easygoing wine with some elements of dilution, but it should drink nicely over the mid-term. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015.
These stylish, deeply-colored wines from Giovanni Corino offer terrific quality.
