Barolo Fest - a cross section from 2021
Showcasing a selection of Barolo from the 2021 vintage - a stellar, landmark year, approachable in their youth and incredibly ageworthy.
Tasting a cross-section of wines from a single vintage within one appellation is both instructive and compelling. In Barolo, the 2021 vintage makes this exercise especially rewarding.
Beyond a highly favorable growing season, 2021 stands out among recent vintages. The 2021s strike a rare balance, offering vivid fruit and aromatics alongside the structural qualities of a collectible vintage.
In many ways, the wines from this vintage read like a commentary on current trends in winemaking in the region. Extreme cellar practices, like marathon maceration periods or excessive use of new oak, have largely been abandoned for a far more nuanced approach. The result is a style that combines longevity with greater immediate pleasure.
The 2021 vintage offers an illuminating and delicious perspective on the state of Barolo.
