Barale Barolo di Barolo 2018

This wine is a Barolo from the Barolo commune, and it lives up to its prestigious origins. Sourced from 3 cru vineyards, Castellero, Preda and Coste di Rose to be precise. Somewhat paler ruby colour with a slight orange hue that tends to appear across the 2018 vintage in Barolo. Fragrant red cherry, zested blood orange, charred kumquat, dried strawberry, and fading rose petals. An intriguing orchestra of scents, to say the least. Finely-grained, lacey tannins intertwined with ethereal cranberry and watermelon juice. So pure and so refined! It gives most village Burgundy a run for their money.
