Il Poeta Barolo 2017
Barolo DOCG
Loading...
From a hot vintage which has surprised all with its intense, vivacious wines, this is a well-priced Barolo. It was made at a 4th-generation family cellar and, now four years old, has silky tannins supporting the cherry, plum, flower and spice notes.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

The Wine
Grape grower Natale Seghesio is known as 'il Poeta' ('the Poet') to his friends. Not only for his lyrical compositions (featured on the label), but also for the intensely flavoured produce of his vines, growing in the premium Piedmont hills. Talented winemaker Paolo Sartirano snaps up Natale's grapes every year, taking them to his family's cellar. Founded in 1871, this cellar is now 150 years old and today in the hands of the fourth generation. Paolo has crafted Il Poeta to be a truly poetical expression of the finest Nebbiolo. Three years ageing in oak ensures the fruit marries perfectly with silky, toasted spice character. Deeply flavoured and complex, the wine is best opened early and decanted. Serve in large glasses with hearty dishes.
