Barolo, 2019
Spiced cherries and strawberries moving toward Campari with a ferrous note, infused with violets and freshly tilled earth, the Azelia Barolo Classico is made from a selection of grapes from 50-year-old vines across seven different crus across the Castiglione Falletto (30%) and Serralunga d’Alba (70%) communes. The wine is aged in large Slavonian oak "botti" for two years, so there is very little oak influence.
critic reviews
The 2019 Barolo has a pretty bouquet that is laced with light fruit, licorice and lots of blue flower. On the palate, the wine is mid-weight and lively. This is a nice expression of classic Nebbiolo that shows depth and elegance. It ferments with ambient yeasts and sees 40 days of extended maceration with submerged cap. This 29,400-bottle production represents a blend of fruit from seven sites: Altenasso and Solanotto in Castiglione Falletto, a part of Cerretta, the younger part of Bricco Voghera where the vines are from 55 to 60 years old, part of San Rocco, and Cerrati and Broglio in Serralunga d'Alba.
