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
 
Gianni Gagliardo 2017 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.  (****+)
