Barolo
The 2021 Barolo, which was bottled in July of 2024 and will be released in the fall of 2025, was tasted at the estate in early March of 2025. In the glass, it takes on a medium red hue and is initially a bit shy before revealing its compelling complexity through a layered bouquet of red cherries, anise, Asian spices, fresh roses, and crushed stones. The palate delivers electric intensity, with a noble feel. Compared to the 2020 Barolo, which boasts a more pliant and approachable feel upfront, this vintage is more vertical, displaying more tension with a chiseled structure. It has fantastic length on the palate, with lasting mineral persistence and mouthwatering darker fruits coming through on the finish. It’s a stunning wine that will benefit from some cellar time and can be laid down to drink from 2028 to 2058 and beyond, if stored appropriately.
