Yet another vintage where Rocche Costamagna's Alessandro Locatelli has done justice to this fabulous vineyard. This is even more expressive on the nose than the entry level Barolo and is a bigger, broader wine on the palate. There are layers of fruit here, wrapped up in a silky, vanilla oak shell with soft, subtle tannins and lovely acidity. This really is delicious now but will keep for a long time. Bravissimo!
Aromas of sweet berries, roses and other flowers. Fragrant. Full-bodied with chewy yet fine tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Ripe and intense, but held together and framed with polished phenolics. Try after 2025.
Smells a little riper and more evolved than the straight Barolo. Sweeter and more complex at the same time. Challengingly blocky, dry chalk-textured tannins. Glues your mouth together at the moment but there's fruit at the core to make it whole. 2024-2032
