2010 Barolo
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2010 Barolo is a delicately aged Nebbiolo with fine aromas of pressed rose petal, spice, grilled herb and dark berry. There's a dusty or earthy quality as well with crushed stone and mineral. This wine stays true to the characteristics that define textbook Barolo. Silky tannins give way to bright acidity on the finish.

The chewy texture gives definition to the cherry, plum, licorice and tar flavors. The tannins are surprisingly civilized, making this Barolo relatively open and fluid for the vintage. Tightens up on the finish. 2,200 cases made.
A pretty red with a lovely depth of dried-berry and lemon-rind character. Full to medium body with fine tannins and a juicy finish. Tangy and delicious. Better in 2016 but already delicious.
The 2010 Barolo is a great introduction to the vintage. Freshly cut roses, sweet red berries, mint and cinnamon are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. Refined and polished to the core, the 2010 impresses for its exceptional balance, length and total sense of harmony. There is a purity and transparency to the fruit that is striking.
