"The shy nose eventually reveals oak-driven sensations, hazelnut and underbrush along with a whiff of pine resin. The firm palate starts off with sour cherry, cranberry and star anise before assertive, grainy tannins rear up, creating an extremely astringent, mouthdrying close that truncates the finish." -Kerin O'keefe
What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...
2016 marks the first release of Gagliardo’s Barolo del Comune di La Morra. It is a selection of fruit from the vineyards adjacent to the cellar, the crus of Santa Maria and Serra dei Turchi. This area of La Morra has some of the youngest soils in the Barolo zone, which impart more immediate drinkability. Harvest was on October 17th and 18th. Macerations lasted 12 days. Aging was in large French oak botti of 3500L for 30 months. 4,260 bottles made.
