Reviewed May 2024Bright ruby in color, this is a restrained Barolo with wild strawberry, Parma violet, cinnamon and orange peel aromas. The palate is crisp, with dusty tannins, a medium body, good concentration of blood orange flavors, a tight-knit structure and a polished finish. Approachable now due to the balance, but will improve with time. Drink after 2029. (AF)

Aromas and flavors of raspberry, cherry, rose, spices and tar highlight this light-bodied yet firmly structured red. Elegant, with a solid line of chalky tannins informing the mouthwatering finish. Best from 2027 through 2043. (BS)

The 2020 Barolo is a bright red/ruby color and is fresh with aromas of incense, red cherries, a hint of polished sweet leather, and a classic, fresh herbal profile. Medium-bodied, elegant, and weightless, it has a very similar feel to the 2018 vintage, but with a bit more ripeness on the palate and a bit of darker savory earth on the finish. It will show its best in another 6-12 months. Drink 2025-2035. (AF)

The 2020 Barolo is a pretty, delicate wine. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, mint, cedar and a kick of orange peel waft from the glass in a translucent, mid-weight Barolo that is pure charm. The 2020 is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Lovely. (AG)
