Rich and inviting example of 2020 Barolo, softer than some others out of Monforte d'Alba but don't sleep on these sneaky and grippy tannins. Purity of fruit, ripe yet low level phenolics and a lime saltiness that suggests minerals and therefore lower pH. Truly proper and highly expressive nebbiolo, modern to be sure but clearly a wine of great respect and also restraint, This is some of the finest barrel usage in the entirety of the vintage, no matter the commune or MGA. One of the top wines in so many respects. Drink date: 2027-2038. Tasted blind at Nebbiolo Prima January 2024.
