Tasting notes
The 2015 Barolo Ornato takes the intensity level (within the Palladino portfolio) up a full notch. The wine is very expressive and open from the start with dark fruit, ripe blackberry, spice, tar and leather. This wine plays its strongest cards in terms of texture, richness and intensity. Nicely done. Only 2,000 bottles were released.

Serralunga d’Alba. Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Closed but with proper concentrated fruit underneath. Supple, super-ripe but not flabby cherry fruit with hints of gingerbread and crunchy tannins. Ready now. (WS)
Aromas of tar and fruit tea with dark berries and strawberries follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a long and linear, focused finish. Shows tightness and intensity. Drink from 2023.
