Barale 2016 Barolo "Vendemmia" 750ml

The 2016 Barolo Vendemmia is a blend of fruit from Castellero, Preda and Monrobiolo, all in the town of Barolo. Bright red cherry, mint, rose petal and cinnamon give this lithe, mid-weight Barolo lovely aromatic top notes and a real sense of brightness. The tannins need time to soften, but this is a very good wine at its level.
