Tasting notes
The 2018 Barolo is a very pretty, ethereal wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Spice, orange peel and macerated cherry all grace this decidedly medium-bodied Barolo. All the elements come together so well. The 2018 is not a long term ager, but it sure is beautiful today.

This a lean and tapered expression of Nebbiolo. The 2018 Barolo shows a thin garnet appearance and proceeds to a rather loud moment on the bouquet with big cherry and associated primary fruit. It is easy on the palate, offering more fruit and soft tannins along the way. Overall, this is a simple wine that lacks in significant depth.
