Medium ruby/red, the 2020 Barolo is inviting and open with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberry seed, fresh flowers, and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, it is elegant and inviting on the palate, with lovely, zesty lift to balance out its ripeness, as well as fine tannins and a kiss of sweet berried fruit through the finish. . Juicy and fresh, it’s highly appealing now and will have a wide window for enjoyment over the next 6-8 years. (AF)

The wine offers a delightful note of cola, which melds seamlessly with a medley of mixed red fruits, both fresh and preserved. The palate has an opulent texture, where lushness is kept in check by fine tannins, ensuring that each sip remains structured and elegant. Drink Now - 2040 (JP)

Notes

The Castello di Verduno Barolo exemplifies the grandeur and complexity of Nebbiolo from this esteemed region. The nose is an aromatic symphony of dark cherry, rose petals, and dried herbs, intertwined with notes of tar and earthy truffle. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure with robust tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides exceptional balance. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and spice are complemented by hints of leather, tobacco, and a touch of licorice. The wine’s impressive depth and layered profile culminate in a long, refined finish with lingering notes of dark fruit and subtle oak. This Barolo is a classic representation of the style, showcasing both immediate appeal and the potential for long-term aging.
