Some meaty undertones, too. Full-bodied with a tight palate, but opulent fruit oozes through at the end. Shows lots of promise for the straight-up Barolo.

It’s savory and polished, offering flavors of juicy black cherry and licorice with a hint of hazelnut before finishing on a note of blood orange. Lithe tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced. It’s already accessible, but will also age well for several years. Drink through 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mix of cherry, plum, rose, licorice, tar and tobacco highlights this textbook Barolo.

The palate is savory, tangy, and mineral rich, with sour cherry, walnut, and iron. The 2016 is clean with a rustic edge and would be great at the table.

Nothing is too big or too bold in this wine that adopts a genuine and traditional approach to Nebbiolo. Indeed, it could be criticized for coming in so far under the intensity threshold, especially for a classic vintage such as this. Soft cherry and cassis segue to spice, smoke, rusty nail and licorice. The wine should flesh out with more cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90pts Wine \u0026amp; Spirits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrea Farinetti combines fruit from five crus (Cannubi, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Fossati, Liste and San Pietro delle Viole) in this classic Barolo.
