Tasting notes
The 2017 Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti is another fabulous wine from Burzi. Dark, mysterious and beautifully layered in the glass, the Capalot is just captivating from the very first taste. Macerated black cherry, lavender, sage, spice, coffee and leather are some of the many notes that open over time in a Barolo that is deep yet also wonderfully transparent. The 2017 is so nuanced, so complex, so beautiful. It is also easily the best wine I have tasted from Burzi.

La Morra. Just mid ruby. Brooding cherry and spice nose showing plenty of concentration. Savoury, stony notes. Tannins built like a brick house framing supple, fragrant fruit. A real balancing act of matching a muscular structure with the elegant fruit, but it works. Closes up fast and needs more time. (WS)
