From the Bricco Boschis cru in Castiglione Falletto, this luminous Barolo offers pretty elements of wild berry, forest floor, leather, tar, licorice and eucalyptus. There’s loads of power and personality here and the mouthfeel is elegant and long lasting. Drink after 2018.

Here’s a vineyard-designate Barolo Riserva with pristine aromas of cherry, wild berry, smoke, tar, licorice and leather. The streamlined mouthfeel is polished yet firm, and the wine offers a long fade of cherry and spice flavors.

The Vignolo Barolo Riserva opens with ripe aromas of black cherry and strawberry followed by leather, tobacco, tar and black licorice. The wine still has more aging to do: the mouthfeel is sharp, generous and polished.

Here is textbook Barolo with long, fine tannins and elegant aromas of small berry fruit, mesquite wood, tar and black licorice. The wine also offers warm earthy notes and a fresh menthol-like touch on the close. Pair it with grilled lamb and chopped mint chutney.

Like this estate’s other Riserva expression, this Barolo shows dark color and concentration accented by mature fruit and exotic spice aromas. The soft, smooth mouthfeel will complement stewed meats or hearty bean soup.
