Tasting notes
The 2012 Barolo Bussia Dardi Le Rose is another fabulous wine from Poderi Colla. Deep, layered and quite giving at the moment, the 2012 has more than enough depth to drink well for many years to come. It is perhaps not as pedigreed as the 2013 tasted alongside it, but it is very, very close. In fact, this is one of the highlights of the vintage.

Very pale and bricky. Sweet aroma of dried cherries. Fruit-cake spice, but not overripe at all. Direct and purposeful on the palate, power initially but then a long finish, very dry but not drying finish. Finely balanced. (JH)
Monforte d’Alba. Just mid ruby with a watery orange-tinged rim. Sweetly fruity on the palate and building up in concentration on the finish. Big, drying tannins for the moment, but the fruit holds up effortlessly. (WS)
