The 2016 in Barolo, a great vintage.
What the tasting box contains:
Barolo "Pietrin" 2016 Franco Conterno: One of the most renowned labels in Conterno's range, it is made from the best Nebbiolo grapes from the vineyards of Monforte d'Alba, Novello and Castiglione Falletto. An intense and complex Barolo that is aged for at least 24 months in oak barrels and is characterised by an excellent value for money. This Barolo Pietrin is a wine that, in the glass, shows a bright and brilliant garnet red colour. The nose expresses hints of ripe fruit, spices and a trail of liquorice on the finish, while the sip is deep and structured, soft with silky tannins.
Barolo 2016 Fratelli Barale: Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, organic farming principles are followed, with great attention paid to the quality of the grapes. This Barolo is made from a blend of grapes from the vineyards of three crus in the commune of Barolo: Coste di Rose, Preda and Monrobiolo, which are located at an altitude of about 250 metres above sea level with an east and south-west exposure.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with maceration on the skins lasting about a month, after which the wine is aged for 36 months in large 10 and 30 hectolitre oak casks, with a further 12 months in the bottle before sale. The Barolo 2016 of Fratelli Barale, thanks to its great territoriality, allows you to better understand the peculiarities of this terroir: in the glass it shows a rather intense garnet red colour, the nose expresses floral notes of violets and dried rose petals, hints of small red berry fruits and delicately spicy nuances. On the palate it has a good structure, with a complex and harmonious taste, a fine tannic texture and a fresh and persistent finish.
Barolo "Bussia" 2016 Giacomo Fenocchio: This is one of the most authentic expressions of Barolo in Monforte d'Alba, cultivated according to sustainable principles for the protection of the environment, and whose aromatic concentration and longevity are emphasised: this is why long macerations and spontaneous fermentations are carried out using the grapes' indigenous yeasts, and why the Barolo is aged slowly. This work results in a Barolo Bussia of great elegance and territoriality, a wine of intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. The nose offers an intense and ethereal bouquet of liquorice, withered roses and tar, accompanied by warm and spicy aromas. The taste is full and warm, harmonious and persistent, elegant, with an excellent tannic structure.
