Tasting notes
The 2014 Barolo is a blend of fruit from six smaller vineyard sites. About 30% of the fruit comes from Castiglione Falletto and the remaining 70% is from Serralunga d'Alba (mostly from the Cerretta and Broglio crus). Across the board, the average age of the vines is 45 years old. Even though the mouthfeel is a bit thinner in this vintage, the bouquet is pleasantly generous and ripe. Blackberry, cassis, tar and spice mesh together with seamless ease.

Azelia's 2014 Barolo is understated, gracious and very pretty. Sweet tobacco, dried cherry, mint and crushed flowers all lift from the glass. Grippy, young Nebbiolo tannins extend the midpalate and finish. The cut and nervous energy of the year are very much on display.
