2022 Burlotto - Barolo (750ml)

One of Barolo's great historic estates, founded in 1850 in Verduno — and still the benchmark for the appellation's most elegant, perfumed style. The 2022 opens with vermouth-like aromas of cinnamon candy, rhubarb, potpourri, wild strawberries, dried cherries, angelica, and licorice, with a clove note backing up the finish. Full-bodied and smooth, the palate delivers succulent Morello cherry, raspberry compote, licorice, and dried mint alongside tightly woven, velvety tannins, with a tangy blood orange note lifting the finish. Burlotto chose to release only the classico in 2022 — no single-vineyard crus — focusing the best fruit into one expressive, immediately appealing Barolo. Outstanding value from one of the zone's most storied addresses. Drink 2027–2037.
