Rich and complex aromas to this young Barolo with crushed raspberries, blueberries, hot stones and orange juice. Medium to full body, ripe and structured tannins and a vertical, exciting finish. I like the tension here. Delicious now. But two or three years will make it even better.
Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Hugely exotic nose with hints of passionfruit. Unusual cherry and passionfruit palate with slightly rough tannins. Very long, with unpolished tannins. It’s not without merit – definitely a little unusual – but not for purists. (WS)
The 2014 Barolo Campè is a touch slender, but very nicely balanced. Sweet red cherry and plum fruit gain a good bit of lift from the expressive floral and spice nuances that develop in the glass. A dash of new oak adds accents, but is also well balanced. Today, the 2014 gives the impression that it will drink well early and also develop at a fast pace - but then again, with Nebbiolo you never really know. The Campè emerges from the middle tenderloin of La Spinetta's Garretti vineyard in Grinzane Cavour.
