"The 2013 Barolo Acclivi is another knockout from Burlotto. The Acclivi shows slightly red and purplish hued fruits, with lavender, mint, violet and spice that develop in the glass. The 2013 is naturally very tightly wound, but it offers superb freshness, along with a striking interplay of pliant fruit, lifted, floral-infused aromatics, and an acid/tannin profile that adds brightness throughout. Readers will have to be patient, but there is no rush. This is a fabulous Barolo in the making." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2013 Barolo Acclivi appears lean in texture but is actually very firm in substance. The wine delivers a lot more power and fiber than you may initially expect just by looking at the wine in the glass. Its perfumes are delicate and vibrant with dried roses, violets and red currant. There is a point of ripeness that is revealed on the finish, thanks to a lingering spot of fruity sweetness." -Monica Larner

"Verduno. Undergrowth nose and massive intensity and the fruit on the palate almost covers the tannins."

"Fresh and expressive, offering macerated cherry, plum, licorice, leather and spice flavors. Firms up, but there is consistent interplay of sweet fruit, spice, vibrant acidity and gripping tannins. Complex and long."

"Underbrush, wild berry, dark culinary spice, chopped herb and tilled earth are just some of the aromas you'll discover on this gorgeous wine. Impeccably balanced and loaded with finesse, the palate delivers wild raspberry, red cherry, clove, ground white pepper and licorice while radiant acidity and youthfully austere, noble tannins provide structure. It already boasts impressive depth but it still needs to fully develop. A gorgeous wine. Drink 2025–2043."
