Barolo, 2016
A slender, leaner-styled medium bodied Barolo Classico with good acidity, a mix of red and dark fruits and an herbaceous edge. The Azelia Barolo Classico is made from a selection of grapes from 50-year-old vines in seven different crus across the Castiglione Falletto (30%) and Serralunga d’Alba (70%) communes, a big part of which is Cerretta and Bricco Voghera. The wine is aged in large Slavonian oak botti for two years, so there is very little oak influence.
critic reviews
Azelia's 2016 Barolo is a blend of fruit from two parcels in Castiglione Falletto and five in Serralunga, with the character of Serralunga especially felt in the wine's tannic grip and persistence. Iron, sage, mint, smoke and wild cherry give the Barolo striking aromatic nuance and complexity, all in the mid-weight style that is such a signature at this address. The purity of the fruit is just striking. Stated simply, this is a tremendous wine in its peer group.
