Estimate
A classic expression from vintner Elio Altare and his talented team, the 2018 Barolo is an elegant and streamlined wine...shows a linear and focused personality with tart cherry, aniseed, crushed rock and blue flower.
...delicate with aromas of cherries, chocolate, cinnamon, dried orange peel and nutmeg. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, slightly chewy yet juicy tannins. Lively and toned with lots of energy and fresh cherries, blood orange and crushed stones. Builds up nicely on the palate to show real power.
Racy and pliant, with terrific purity and fine balance, the 2018 is positively stellar. Crushed red berry fruit, flowers, mint, licorice and rose petal flesh out in this gorgeous, captivating Barolo...
A spicy red highlighted by plum, leather, tar and tobacco aromas and flavors. This has ample flesh and dusty tannins for support, with a mineral accent emerging on the finish.
