What is this wine?
Lapo Berti’s Barolo Fossati 2020 is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the Fossati cru in La Morra, one of Barolo’s most elegant subzones. The wine is made traditionally, with spontaneous fermentation, extended maceration, and aging in large neutral oak. Lapo Berti, a small and meticulous producer, focuses on minimal intervention and organic principles to craft pure, terroir-driven Barolo that balances finesse and structure.

Why get this wine?
The Fossati cru is known for producing Barolo of remarkable grace—perfumed, silky, and deeply nuanced. Lapo Berti’s hands-off approach allows this character to shine, resulting in a wine that captures both classic Barolo depth and modern drinkability. In a vintage as refined as 2020, this bottle delivers exceptional value for single-vineyard Barolo and is already gaining cult attention for its precision and soul.

What does this wine taste like?
Elegant and layered, showing red cherry, rose petal, and orange zest, with hints of spice, tobacco, and fine-grained tannins. The texture is supple yet structured, finishing long and savory with mineral lift.

When should you drink this wine?
Beautiful now with decanting, but best from 2026–2035 as it gains complexity. Pair with truffle risotto, braised short ribs, or aged cheeses. A contemplative wine for refined meals or cellaring.
