Tasting notes
The 2019 Barolo Brunate is a fleshy and hearty Nebbiolo with ample structure and staying power. The bouquet offers dark fruit, candied plum, blue flower, spice and rusty mineral. There is a hint of rosemary sprig or forest bramble as well. Brunate ends with almost metallic-like notes that are characteristic of this vineyard cru, and the wine has plenty of structure to carry it through more years of bottle age. Production is 6,000 bottles.

Transparent crimson. Leafy and refreshing with masses of subtlety, pure fruit but a very dry finish – so much so that you'd be crazy to drink this before 2025. Still a baby. This is the only vintage in this entire vertical tasting of this wine (1997–2019) that I feel I couldn't drink now. (JR)
The 2019 Barolo Brunate is searing tannic and lacking in depth. There's little in the way of Brunate character or complexity here.
