Here's a classic interpretation of this vintage and a wine that will bring a big return on such a relatively small investment with proper cellaring. The 2016 Barolo is a tonic and compact expression of Nebbiolo that will flesh out and take on more volume with time. This estate is based in the comune or village of La Morra, known for graceful, floral and softly textured Baroli. However, this wine is a blend of fruit from Annunziata and Berri in La Morra and Perno in Monforte d'Alba. This vintage offers the power and grit that will carry it forward. Rating : 93+

Featuring currant and strawberry flavors, this red is introduced by mint and eucalyptus aromas. Light and wiry, with fine intensity and flashes of licorice, tar and spice as this plays out on the finish. Best from 2024 through 2038. 2,500 cases made, 750 cases imported.
