Very tasty though.The 2019 Barolo vintage is less approachable now, but it’s only going to get better from this point.Needs a few years to mature in the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. A good food wine right now.100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 3 years.14.5% alcohol by volume.91 points.$150. derekz83 6 months ago Am I wrong for not wanting to open a Barolo unless it’s more than 8 years old at least Gr8Autoxr 6 months ago How about one from 1967?

OnlyHumean 6 months ago I love my barolo with well-integrated tannins, so I’ll probably drink my 2019s in 10 years or so. Looks amazing though! sleepyhaus 6 months ago $150 seems egregious for that wine, though I’m sure it is lovely. Pricing in EU seems to be just over half that.Write A CommentYou must be logged in to post a comment.
