Barolo Gramolere, Manzone, Giovanni 2017

Tasting Notes

The 2017 Barolo Gramolere is broad and ample, yet retains the gracious style that is typical of the Manzone Barolos these days. The fruit profile is a bit darker, though, and there is a bit more of an oak imprint. Black cherry, new leather, menthol and spice all meld together effortlessly as the 2017 blossoms with a touch of aeration. (Drink between 2025-2037)

A firm Barolo here that’s showing more savory than fruity character at this stage, at least on the nose. But then, plenty of dense red fruit comes through on the medium-to-full palate and grapples with the firm tannins until the end. This has a way to go yet, but the quality is evident now. Try from 2024.
