"The 2021 Barolo V.S. Caterina is a rich, expansive wine. Crushed flowers, sweet pipe tobacco, menthol, coffee, licorice and dried herbs all soar from the glass. Medium in body, but also quite plush, the 2021 has so much to offer. It's a wine of pure and total seduction." -Antonio Galloni

"Structured and loaded with finesse, the 2021 V.S. Caterina from Guido Porro entices with aromas of camphor, forest floor, hay and ripe dark-skinned fruit. Made with 40-45-year-old vines with southwest exposure in the Lazzarito MGA in Serralunga, it's full-bodied, with layers of succulent Morello cherry, cinnamon, truffle orange peel and licorice. A minty note lingers on the finish while firm, refined tannins and fresh acidity provide support and balance. Drink 2031–2041." -Kerin O'Keefe
