The 2016 Barolo is a soft, open-knit wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Dried cherry, tobacco, cedar, dried flowers and anise, along with mid-weight structure and relatively soft tannins - for a young Barolo - are all suggestive of a wine that is already quite open and ready to drink. The straight Barolo is a blend of San Lorenzo and Fossati, with Ravera from Novello and Bricco San Pietro in Monforte. This is a very pretty wine in its peer group.
