Barolo, Piedmont 2017

This vintage has extraordinary elegance, complexity and character. Silky and intense bouquet. Full body, great structure, right tannins, incredible ageing potential, precise and classic Nebbiolo style. The wine has sweet and very elegant tannins. It still needs one year in oak for the best maturation. This is a powerful wine, rich in tannin, with excellent purity of fruit and finesse. Perfect with duck or braised beef.

combination of sandstone and marl - the diversity of the vineyard sites allows for a varying aspect etc for the vines which allows for added complexity in the final blend - a traditional practice rather than a single vineyard site.
