justerini & brooks tasting note

Fleshier, more savoury and powerful than Cerequio yet this still retains a nice shape and quality of fruit. Lifted red berry fruits are joined by grounding elements such as earth, cinnamon and mineral. Open-knit flavours cloak a solid bone structure, yet there are more curves to this than can often be the case when young. Reserved but not austere. A very well-balanced Brunate. 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), only 500 bottles were produced.

critic reviews

96/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2015 Barolo Brunate is another super-expressive wine in this lineup from Roberto Voerzio. Sage, mint, underbrush, tobacco and licorice nuances give the Brunate striking aromatic complexity. A Barolo of real presence and stature, the Brunate is so inviting as it gains breadth with time in the glass. Another few years will help the tannins soften.
