Barolo 2016

2016 has generated a great deal of excitement in Barolo, and rightly so if our tastings are any gauge. Near perfect conditions comprising a warm growing season with cool nights and no temperature extremes ensured a slow and steady ripening of the notoriously pernickety Nebbiolo. A vintage yielding beautifully aromatic wines, which artfully express their terroir, this is already being touted as one of the greats, with one of our growers stating it ranks as the best vintage in over thirty years. The wines are incredibly harmonious, with a wonderful balance of richness and finesse with finely ripe tannins. As Antonio Galloni remarks in his review of the vintage on vinous.com: “The result is a vintage full of truly spectacular, breathtaking wines that captures all the pedigree that Nebbiolo and Barolo are capable of… For many growers, the 2016s are not just epic, they are career-defining wines…”
