justerini & brooks tasting note

A wonderfully complex wine of contrasting characteristics that are beautifully knitted together. Aromatic and inviting, sweet woody spices and earth notes mixed with ethereal, crisp fresh red berry fruit, bound by a firm and well –defined tannic framework. Rockier and higher than Cerequio so a little firmer and fresher but the brilliant, crisp fruit leaves your palate sufficiently sweet. A Barolo of Beauty and backbone. One of the great crus of Barolo, situated high up in the La Morra commune just underneath La Serra, with an east / south east exposure. Aged for two years in a mixture of barriques and large cask (30% new oak), less than 3000 bottles were produced.

critic reviews

96/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

A super-classic Roberto Voerzio wine, the 2013 Barolo Brunate is powerful yet translucent, with exceptional balance and tons of class. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, menthol and a host of balsamic-inflected overtones develop nicely in the glass. In 2013, the Brunate possesses good depth, while its customary power and structure emerges with notable reluctance. Simply put, the 2013 is a jewel of a wine.
