Barolo Lorens offers a hearty, meaty expression of Barolo that would pair with beef and wild mushroom stew or bacon-wrapped quail served with wild rice. The wine boasts deep, concentrated extraction with aromas of bresaola, smoke, spice, ripe cherry and red rose accents. It’s thick and long lasting with slightly textured tannins.

Sophisticated and bright, this beautiful Barbaresco presents loads of vanilla, dark fruit, spice and toasted nut intensity. There’s structure and longevity here and the wine lasts many long minutes on the palate thanks to its bone-dry tannins.

Barolo Lorens delivers interesting dimension and personality with a complex bouquet comprised of fruit, spice and cola elements. The aromatic intensity is given a natural lift thanks to the wine’s dense pulp and velvety consistency. Sweet cherry flavors fuel a long finish.

Winemakers for many long generations, the Lodali family (now with Walter Lodali at the helm) is slowly penetrating the international wine consciousness. The 2007 Lorens Barbaresco offers pronounced aromas of smoke, tobacco, tar and licorice embellished by red rose and violet. The wine is smooth, silky with polished tannins and an elegant finish.
