Gianni Gagliardo 2017 Barolo, Mosconi (Piedmont, Italy)

Another Barolo that rocked my world and this will do the same for yours

Gianni Gagliardo 2017 Barolo, Mosconi

 

>>> Written Review <<<

A mere 1100 bottles output from this southern exposed, warmer area ... This is a fruit forward number and while the nose leans on the dark side of the fruit spectrum along with mint and balsamic aromas; the palate shows off that dark fruit with a lovely freshness to it, and while there is a pleasant herbal character, it is suppressed by that dark fruit explosion.  (****+)

Gianni Gagliardo 2017 Barolo (Italian Wine)

This is not a single vineyard Barolo, nor a special selection Barolo, but it is a damn good Barolo

--- THE WRITTEN REVIEW ---
 
A 30,000 bottle production where all crus contribute to the blend; it's a majority of La Morra, admits Stefano, and it is a wine released “ready to drink, but will age as well.” Lovely red and black fruit notes with strawberry, cherry, floral and menthol aromas ... Palate is all about freshness; but also with dark and red fruit, subtle pepper and other spices - shows more elegance than power and it's incredibly drinkable the moment the cork is popped. The finish has a lovely linger with balsamic and herbs.  (****+)

Gagliardo 2016 Barolo "La Morra" (The Wine Review - #328)

Gianni Gagliardo 2016 Barolo - La Morra

This is their “village” Barolo that encompasses two parcels in the final blend. This very aromatic offering shows notes of cherry, blackberry and floral ... On the palate it's soft and gentle with a medium length finish. Key notes here are cherry blossoms, blackberry, spiced plum, and gentle tannins - such a pretty and elegant wine that, like so many of these wines, is so very drinkable right now.  (****+)
