Barolo, Italy's king of reds, doesn't come cheap, especially from a great vintage. All the more reason to leap on this special parcel from a stellar vintage and prime vineyards in Cerviano-Merli. Rich, dark chocolate and cherry fruit; silky tannins.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Story Behind the Bottle
Four years ago, our buyer, Leo, secured a special parcel of Barolo. He called it his buying coup of the year. He’s done it again with the 2020 vintage. Piedmont's prized red is known for demanding a high price. However, when a winery (we're forbidden to name) is keen to move a batch fast, it usually comes as a good deal. It’s from a terrific vintage too, variously described as "outstanding” and “another vintage of stellar wines”. The grapes are from the same hillsides as elite names, including the great £65-a-bottle Vajra and the cellar regularly receives high critic scores. It's a mesmerising wine, long aged in barrel. Decant early to allow the mocha, cherry and violet notes to open, or cellar. Ideal with roast meats or truffle risotto.
