Origin Italy, Piedmont, Barolo

100% Nebbiolo, this classic style Barolo comes from family owned vineyards across Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra, Novelloo, and Grinzane Cavour. Pale ruby red in colour, there are perfumes of red cherry fruit, spice, dried fruits and a subtle nuttiness, which follow on the palate. Notable structure with grippy tannins and wonderful length. 

It has excellent structure, harmony and elegance with soft tannins and balanced fruit. Approachable, but with a very long ageing potential. This is the classic “formula” used by the ancient Barolo Families to produce a wine which embraces and combines each of the unique characteristics of the different vineyards and terroirs of the Barolo area.

Pairs well with steak tartar, truffle, porcini dishes, duck, guinea fowl, veal, braised beef, and cheese.

Bright and complex with licorice, tar and rose petals. Hints of plums, too. Medium to full body and chewy, round tannins. Plenty of dried meat, spices and berries. A pretty finish. Shows intensity for the vintage. Already very pretty but drink in 2020.

"...for my own cellar, I would choose the classic Barolo 2014. The grapes come from seven vineyards, four in Serralunga d’Alba, which are vinified together, so the blend is made right at the start, producing around 70,000 bottles after 18 months is large oak."

The 2014 Barolo shows crisp lines and sharp delineation. At its core, this cool-vintage Nebbiolo offers dark and enriched fruit that is layered between spice, grilled herb, cola and balsam herb. These various components find very good balance and unity, yet ultimately this remains a slightly thinner and more accessible vintage overall. Bottle production is big for the appellation with 80,000 units released

This is light-weight despite burly tannins that shore up earth, tar, cherry and underbrush flavors. Builds in both power and breadth, ending with a dense matrix of tannins. Best from 2022 through 2035. 5,800 cases made, 2,600 cases imported.
