This warm-vintage Nebbiolo shows an extra level of spice that recalls clove, tar and campfire ash. Savory and rich in character, the 2017 Barolo shows thick fruit dimension and extra intensity that is a common feature in wines from this growing season. This 14.5% alcohol wine is poised for near or medium-term drinking with a roast of beef, onions and carrots, but there is enough fiber here to wait a little longer if that is your pleasure. 20,000 bottles were made.

The Piazzo Comm. Armando 2016 Barolo shows great depth with dark aromas of forest fruit, wild plum and blackberry. This wine offers a classic and statuesque interpretation of Nebbiolo with plenty of dark fruit surrounded by aniseed, licorice, smoke and tar. This is a mid-weight wine that is silky and glossy on the finish. It would make a nice pairing to a pasta dish that features wild porcini mushrooms. Some 15,000 bottles were released.

The 2014 Barolo is a mid-weight effort with a bright bouquet of wild cherry and rose. The nose is generous and expressive with lingering tones of smoke, licorice and road paving. This vintage presents a thin mouthfeel and loose texture. You are more aware of the oak use in this thinner vintage, thanks to those spicy endnotes of cinnamon and toast. This is a near or medium-term Barolo. It ages in oak (80% botte and 20% barrique) for two years. Some 30,000 bottles were produced.

The 2013 Barolo is totally tight at its core, with bright fruit. It is fresh and lean, shiny and glossy. There is a lot to like. The wine offers a great sense of inner focus and energy. It saw partial aging in large oak casks and partial aging (20%) in French barrique. Production is 30,000 bottles strong.

Piazzo Comm. Armando delivers a bold, oak-driven expression of Nebbiolo. The 2012 Barolo is a finely textured wine formed over a medium frame. Dark fruit, plum and red currant form the core and the wine offers additional aromas of spice, grilled herb and licorice. This is a contemporary Barolo with supple texture and dark concentration.
