Undicicomuni Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
A complex effort, fruit from 10 vineyards across the appellation, no other winery does that with Nebbiolo, watercolor design on label portrays the shape of these vineyard sites. Ruby with rich bouquet of fruit, spices, leather, and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and ripe raspberry with notes of cinnamon and tobacco. Long finish, nice balance with fine dusty tannins ending with fruit and smoky earthy notes. Enjoyable, will get better!

2015 vintage was excellent. So balanced and true to form. This was one of the better Barolos in this price bracket I’ve had.

Jul 6th, 2021Tight at first pour, young and stretchy. Great color, medium burn. Early tannin finish. Excellent nose!

Nice barolo with an appropriate amount of age but not overly remarkable. Typical dusty earthy tannins. Slightly less acid on the finish than I was hoping. Nice nose and red fruits. Good pairing with steak and pork chops.

Nose: blackberries and cherries.
Taste: very juicy, medium body, very high tannins. Blackberries and clay. A little spicy.
It's a wonderful wine, but my preference for lower tannins bumps it down for me.

Somm recco…..Was hoping for a bold barolo but this isn’t it - perfectly pleasant, actually kind of light, holds the fruit well, but at the end unremarkable. Would have mistaken for a Barbera
