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. - ML

This is earthy and spiced yet fresh and red-fruited at the same time, with cherries and peach skins as well as dried flowers and decomposed wood undertones. Impressive complexity and structure with medium to full body and densely packed, fine tannins. Balanced and long. Try after 2027.

An austere, tightly packed red, with plum, black cherry and violet flavors underlined by beefy tannins. The compact finish makes it difficult to see where this is going. Best from 2028 through 2048. 400 cases made, 250 cases imported.
