Ornato sits on the steep southwestern flank of Serralunga d'Alba, and it makes Barolo with shoulders. Palladino has been working this commune since 1974, when Piero and his cousin Maurilio bought the old 18th-century Cappellano cellar and set about acquiring vineyard land from locals who were not especially thrilled about newcomers. Nothing about the winemaking chases fashion: long fermentations, big old Slavonian botti, and structure built for the long haul. Now a decade on from the harvest, the 2016 is just beginning to unwind, with tar, rose and dried cherry sitting on top of the iron grip Serralunga is famous for. Traditional single-site Barolo of this age and provenance does not turn up often, and we went to Italy to track these bottles down ourselves. Give it a long decant, or give it a few more years and thank yourself later.

"The Palladino 2016 Barolo Ornato shows a lovely bouquet that gives equal footing to dark fruity notes on the one hand and savory touches of earth and leather on the other. There is a nice balance between the two sides, although the overall profile of the wine is large and broad enough to pair with a creamy pasta dish with black truffle shaved on top. The wine shows a considerable jump in intensity and power in the mouth. It registers a 15% alcohol content, and you definitely feel it here, with that heat wrapped into succulent fruit padding. The alcohol is a bit much, so take care to pair this wine with a dish that is rich in cream or butter." —Monica Larner

"Ripe berry, dark spice and camphor aromas are front and center on this fragrant red along with a whiff of iris. Full-bodied and juicy, the savory, enveloping palate delivers succulent Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and hints of tobacco. Firm, velvety tannins and fresh acidity provide great structure and balance. Drink 2026–2041." —Kerin O'Keefe
