Barolo, in Piedmont's Langhe hills, is Nebbiolo's most storied expression, so structured and long-lived that it's long been nicknamed "the King of Wines and the Wine of Kings." The DOCG spans eleven communes across the provinces of Cuneo and Asti, each contributing its own signature to the variety's notoriously high acid and tannin.
This 2022 bottling is a pure varietal Nebbiolo aged in the traditional style, giving the wine time in large oak to soften its naturally firm tannins while preserving its perfumed, rose-and-tar aromatics. As a young Barolo, it shows the vintage's structure clearly and will continue to develop over the next decade.
