WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Barolo Gianni Gagliardo comes from the vineyards in La Morra, with the addition of part of estate grapes of Monforte d'Alba, Barolo and Serralunga. This combination of soils gives it a particularly expressive and pleasantly sophisticated character already at a young age, while giving it an excellent aging potential.
TASTING NTOES:
The sweet core of strawberries and flowers really comes through here. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and very fine-textured with hazelnuts and dried flowers at the finish. Very fine and high-toned.
- James Suckling, 94 pts.
The classic Gianni Gagliardo 2016 Barolo is packaged in the beautifully elegant bottles that distinguish this estate in La Morra. As the so-called entry-level Barolo, this wine offers a lot of charm, accessibility and elegance, with carefully delineated fruit. Dark cherry, raspberry, toasted almond and grilled herb appear. There is some tannic sweetness from the barrel aging with light touches of smoke and spice.
