"A dark, powerful Barolo, 2013 Brunate is another wine that is built for the cellar. The brooding, mysterious side of Brunate comes through in a dense, muscular Barolo built on structure and acidity. Traditionally leaning palates will adore the 2013 Brunate. A host of balsamic-inflected notes lead into the firm, unyielding finish, adding to the wine's gravitas and seriousness. This is an especially somber, powerful wine, even by Brunate standards." -Antonio Galloni

"This Barolo's violet, rose, menthol and wild berry aromas waft from the glass. It's young and assertive but already shows great class and breeding, delivering succulent red cherry, crushed strawberry, star anise and clove flavors framed by firm, tightly-wound but extremely refined tannins. Fresh acidity balances it all out. Drink 2023–2043."
