What to Expect

Barolo is one of the most iconic wines on earth. Born from the rolling hills of Piedmont and the Nebbiolo grape, it is a wine that demands your attention and rewards you with an amazing array of aromas and flavors. Typically requiring many years in bottle to achieve maturity, Barolo displays an array of aromatics that is tough to equal. With notes ranging from sandalwood and anise, to tar, roses and medicinal herbs, not to mention orange peel, strawberry and cherry notes, it's a bouquet one can get lost in. Equipped with formidable levels of both acidity and tannin, Barolo is usually none the less a medium to medium-full bodied wine with rich flavors that recall the aromatics and an elegance that emerges with age and can only be matched by the finest Burgundies. There are two "camps" of producers in Barolo, the modernists and the traditionalists. While there were clear divisions between these two camps in the past, the ever-expanding middle-ground is fast becoming the norm. The generalizations used to describe the differing camps are becoming irrelevant in many cases, but as a guideline the more traditional producers eschew the use of new oak and allow their wine extended contact with the skins while modernists tend to include some new wood in the barrel-aging regimen while using decidedly shorter maceration periods.
