2001 Barolo Vecchie Vite dei Capalot e Brunate Riserva

Average Score

Critic Notes

Voerzio’s old-vines 2001 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate rounds out this set of stunning Barolos. It presents a deeply spiced, balsamic nose along with generous amounts of black cherry fruit with exceptional length and purity in its vibrant flavors. Sadly this wine shut down quickly in the glass and my guess is that I was only able to get a brief look at its qualities. Difficult to fully appreciate today, it will almost certainly merit a higher score in a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate # 167 Oct 2006

Produttori del Barbaresco - The Single Vineyard Riservas

It is a rare chance to taste all the single vineyards side by side and the best opportunity to really try and understand the nuances and terroirs of each of the separate sites. What is immediately clear is however variable in their tannin profiles, aromatics and fruit flavours, they are all incredibly consistent in quality. There isn’t a bad wine in the line-up, more than ...
