Burlotto Barolo 2019

From a parcel bordering Monvigliero, the 2019 Barolo is a pale ruby and reveals a lifted perfume of fresh berries and orange zest. Linear and vibrant, with fresh pomegranate, citrus, and dusty earth, it is racy and fresh, with a savory finish. Drink 2024-2034.

An elegant Barolo hallmarked by floral, olive, juniper, cherry and strawberry aromas and flavors. Firm, with refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Gives a lasting impression of sweet fruit, accented by mineral and savory notes. Best from 2026 through 2042. 600 cases made.

The 2019 Barolo is a very pretty, elegant wine. In this vintage, the straight Barolo has (unusually) a touch of whole cluster influence that drives the aromatic profile, adding gorgeous floral and savory intensity this wine does not typically have. Burlotto's Barolo is far from an easygoing wine, it is a Barolo to cellar for a few years and drink for another decade or so beyond. This super-classic Barolo is an absolute gem.
