Barolo

Boroli - Barolo Classico 2014

"According to James Suckling, this is a fantastic vintage that magnifies Nebbiolo!

"Exotic, ripe red with aromas of baked earth, ripe strawberry, rose petal and sandalwood. Full body, firm round tannins and tasty finish. Fantastic 2014. Drink or cellar." (James Suckling 2018)

Cantina Renato Ratti - Barolo Marcenasco 2019

4/5 (3 reviews)

"A true ambassador for the Ratti estate and the Barolo appellation!

"Made from vines just outside this modern estate with its exterior wood panelling and clean architectural lines, at the foot of the La Morra rise, this wine is Ratti's best-known and also his largest production, with 70,000 bottles produced. The 2019 Barolo Marcenasco shows the benefits of a stylistic overhaul that favors understated elegance and finesse. The wine is visibly leaner, opening with ethereal tones of blue flower, dried cherry, blood orange and chalky mineral. These little tweaks have opened up an exciting new chapter for Marcenasco." (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate 2023)

Boroli - Barolo Brunella 2013

"Monopole du domaine Baroli: an unprecedented vintage!

In the heart of the Langhe and Barolo regions, these parcels of nebbiolo benefit from perfect exposure for growth and a unique soil, giving rise to a nectar of sublime quality. Brunella is a historic vineyard surrounding Cascina Brunella, near Villero, and is now owned exclusively by the Boroli family. This exceptional 2013 Barolo from this unique location offers a tasting of unforgettable elegance and structure. The team's Favorite . - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Boroli - Barolo Villero 2013

"An exceptional terroir and a critically acclaimed vintage!

From Italy's historic "Villero" vineyard, this marvelous 2013 vintage has benefited from the perfect south/south-west exposure and exceptional terroir offered by Castiglione Falleto: the precise workmanship of these parcels has resulted in wines cut for ageing, whose peak reveals floral aromas and unfailing balance. Thanks to their exceptional quality, Barolo Villero wines are the only Italian wines ever to have been awarded a score of 100 by Robert Parker! - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Boroli - Barolo Classico 2013

4/5 (1 review)

"An emblematic vintage that magnifies Nebbiolo!

A pure blend from the finest Cerequio and Villero vineyards, this Barolo expresses its terroir in the best possible way: by concentrating all the identity of nebbiolo in one bottle. For the uninitiated, it's the perfect way to discover Italy's king of grapes, but its pure, exceptional quality will also delight connoisseurs. An immediate pleasure from a great Italian vintage of great finesse and intense aromas.

Elio Altare - Barolo 2019

"The 2019 Barolo is bright and vibrant in the glass, with beautiful aromatic presence and balance. Aromatic and full-bodied, with magnificent balance, the 2019 will be easy to drink and enjoy young. Crushed red fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon, pomegranate, cedar and sweet floral notes up front. This is a classy Barolo from Altare". (Vinous 2023)

Gaja - Barolo Sperss 2018

"Lots of aromas of rose petals, stems and sandalwood, as well as plums and berries. Medium-bodied, with a tight palate and very fine tannins that extend throughout the wine's length. Linear and concentrated. Notes of nutmeg and pastry enhance the palate. Accessible now, but needs three or four years to open up. Try it after 2026. (James Suckling 2022) - Wooden case delivery available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Cantina Renato Ratti - Barolo Serradenari 2019

"A confidential cuvée for an exceptional Barolo by Ratti!

"Here's an interesting new proposal from Ratti. Serradenari is a great MGA and one of the few vintage sites that exist on the western slope below the village of La Morra. The 2019 Barolo Serradenari has a more botanical bouquet, namely lavender buds, thyme, anise and the kind of flowers and herbs you might find in a fragrant garden. It's nuanced and delicate, framed by a light note of ash or crushed limestone. The finish is quite firm and nervous." (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate 2023)

Cantina Renato Ratti - Barolo Rocche dell' Annunziata 2019

"A great Barolo praised by the critics!"

"The 2019 Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata is spectacular. Aged for two years in 25 hectoliter Slavonian casks, it's bursting with aromas of licorice, raspberry liqueur, pressed roses and crushed stones. Full-bodied, with a weightless feel, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity, it has a continuous arc through the mid-palate, with no rough edges, and is packed with ripe red cherries, cedar, black tea and dried flowers." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

Gaja Barolo - Dagromis 2017

Dagromis is the expression of the union of two great Barolo terroirs, La Morra and Serralunga. The nose offers fruity aromas, floral intensity and hints of balsamic. The structure on the palate is precise and complex. Great art!

Cantina Renato Ratti - Barolo Conca 2018

"A vintage of great style!

"One of the best Barolos of the vintage, this marvel opens with aromas of rose, forest berries, undergrowth and new leather. Superb and simply delicious, the full-bodied palate is full of flavor and finesse, with aromas of crushed raspberry, ripe red cherry, cake spice and licorice, all accompanied by taut, silky tannins. Fresh acidity maintains the balance. Although already fantastic, it also shows great aging potential. Drink between 2024 and 2038. (Wine Enthusiast 2022).

Luigi Pira - Barolo Serralunga 2017

3.5/5 (2 reviews)

The nose of Barolo Serralunga is fresh and typical of the appellation, with elegant notes of leather, hay, earth and spices. On the palate, the wine already reveals silky tannins and magnificent balance with splendid length. Quite simply, a wine for pleasure!

Gaja - Barolo Conteisa 2015

"The 2015 Barolo Conteisa is intense, with a chorus background of plum, prune, grass, mint and wild cherry. This is a very well-balanced Barolo." (Wine Advocate 2019) A vintage of great style!

Elio Altare - Barolo Cannubi 2015

"The first vintage of this wine was 2011. The Altare family leased a quarter hectare of this famous vineyard cru, and the contract expires (or, hopefully, will be renewed) in 2024. The 2015 Barolo Cannubi is a gorgeous wine with a real brightness and luminosity that transcends the wine's appearance, bouquet and palate. There's real lovely volume, and the wine covers the whole palate evenly and smoothly. In ascending order of intensity among Altare's Barolos, this was the penultimate wine we tasted." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Monica Larner)

Elio Altare - Barolo Cerreta 2013

"The 2013 Barolo Riserva Cerretta shows a lot of freshness and boldness. It's a gorgeous wine, tight, light and uncluttered. It shows generous volume. The wine finishes with lingering notes of earth, rust and dusty marble. The tannins are solid and complete. A job well done" (Wine Advocate 2019 - Monica Larner)
