Richness of 2015 vintage might make this Barolo more appealing in 2020, but this wine has all the lovely Nebbiolo markers and is well-made. Licorice, black tea, rose hips... truly delicious. With some air, this cru Barolo sings. SommSelect

Ripe red fruits, mouth watering acidity followed by big tannins to dry it out. Turned earth and leaves..long finish...

Ive tried before at the winery of crissante..this time at home...big and bold, black tea, roses and very elegant and perfurmed..gritty tannins and high acid. Paired great with our castelmagno cheese...something special..

Now this Barolo..out of the park..dried red cherries, rose, black tea and elevated smooth tannins and acid. Well structured. Just a great bottle of Barolo done by young vintner Alberto Alessandria...

2013 - so approachable now. Tar and roses all day long. Dried orange peel on the finish

The wood flavor comes thru the nose, the taste, everything... Let this baby breathe!

Light. Bright cherry. Plenty of tannin left.
