The 2010 Barolo Coste di Rose sees fruit sourced from a vineyard site in the Barolo township that faces towards Bussia and Monteforte d’Alba. Immediately noticeable is the bright energy and intensity of the fruit and the dark, richly concentrated appearance of the wine. There’s a vein of sweetness that runs straight through this wine, doing a great job of pulling it together as one. This very approachable Barolo will perform well in the near-term. Drink: 2016-2026.

Round and open-knit, this cherry- and blackberry-infused red is accented by earth, leather and tobacco notes. The tannins emerge on the finish, which lingers with earth and spice accents. Best from 2017 through 2026. 30 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
