Enzo Boglietti’s Barolo Fossati is one of the estate’s standout bottlings, showcasing the unique terroir of the Fossati vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba. The 2013 vintage, now with several years of aging, presents a Barolo that strikes a beautiful balance between power and finesse—characteristic of the region’s cooler growing seasons.
On the nose, Fossati 2013 opens with deep aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, and earthy spice, followed by hints of tobacco and leather. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with firm tannins that are well-integrated, giving the wine structure and length. The acidity is lively, providing freshness and balance, while the finish lingers with savory, mineral notes.
This Barolo is drinking beautifully now, but its structure suggests it will continue to evolve and develop over the next decade or more. For those who appreciate Barolo with complexity and the ability to age, Fossati 2013 offers an excellent window into the potential of Nebbiolo from one of the finest crus of Serralunga.
