Barolo, Garblet Sue, 2018

The more iron-rich, clay soils of Garblet tends to produce broader Barolos, and this is also true in 2018. Fuller in fruit and richer in tannin, the ’18 offers up more curvaceous, rich red fruits, notes of blood orange, sandalwood, spices and herbs. Rounder, easy to appreciate and with plenty of character. A plot within Altenasso. A lower vineyard with clay limestone facing west /southwest. Aged for three years in large used oak casks.
