Barolo, San Lorenzo di Verduno, 2018

Lots of juicy fruits are on display in the San Lorenzo di Verduno. More upfront and caressing with svelte and charming flavours of redcurrant, sweet cranberry, ripe strawberry and raspberry with some suave peachy flesh and spice notes such as caraway. Mouthwatering yet full and lovely, subtle supporting flavours of brioche, green olive and white pepper, this is a Barolo with lots going on, delivered in a round and supple style, there is something quite Burgundian about it. A Verduno vineyard near Monvigliero but less steep and with very different soils – silt and sand rather than the white limestone of Monvigliero. After a month of gentle maceration the wine is then aged for 3 years in large wooden vats.
