Bright, Aromatic and Vibrant, a terrific Barolo!

2021 Barolo Albe shows an expressive nose with aromas of fresh cherries, crushed stones and roses. The mouthfeel is bright and energetic, with generous mouthfeel and a youthful tannic structure enriched by notes of raspberry and orange zest. Long, textural finish.

"Violets with dried flowers and hints of blueberries and menthol. This has a juicy profile of fruit that complements a big tannin structure that concludes with a firm, tightly wound finish and just a touch of shy fruit. Approachable now, but best in 2026."
-James Suckling

A blend of three different vineyards: Fossati, Coste di Vergne and La Volta
Aged for 26 months in large Slavonian oak casks
James Suckling, 94 Pts

Cellaring: Approachable now, but best in 2026 through 2036

Food Pairing: The wine's high tannins are beautifully softened by the fat in rich meats, making it an ideal partner for traditional Piedmontese dishes like braised beef, roasted game, or a classic osso buco. Its profound earthy notes also make it a quintessential pairing for dishes featuring truffles, especially white truffles, or wild mushrooms | 🌡️ Serve between 15-18°C
