La Villa Barolo

Earthy strawberries and citrus fruit here, together with cinnamon and fresh flowers. This wine shines for its complexity, despite a rather four-square character. Medium body with firm, dusty tannins and crisp acidity. More bony than supple. Try from 2027.

A ripe version, this red boasts cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, iron and eucalyptus flavors. Lively and well-defined, with a layer of tannins fused to its frame. Offers intensity, balance and a long, complex aftertaste of fruit and savory elements. Best from 2028 through 2047. 250 cases made, 25 cases imported.

Rich and harmonious, despite the youthful exuberance of the tannins. Offers generous floral, cherry, strawberry, tar and mineral aromas and flavors, with the fruit matching the tannins step for step on the finish. Delivers excellent balance and length. Best from 2027 through 2047. 325 cases made, 50 cases imported.
