Description
Ornament is a crime “, said Adolf Loos. And that which stays away from it, preserving proportion, harmony and recognizability, can rightly be called “classic”. This Barolo is a classic. Sober, rigorous, dynamic, with identity, it immerses you in the aura of its land with a secret force of persuasion.

The Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2020 Barolo has delicate floral aromas with almond blossom and red fruits. To the palate, the wine shows a very tight and compact texture, tonic and polished, with lingering lavender bud, some grilled herb, sour cherry, tart flavors, glossy tannins and nice acidity. This is one for the purists. Production is 11,000 bottles.

High-toned cherry, strawberry and pomegranate flavors are focused in this lithe red. Underscored with dense tannins but shows fine balance and a long, nuanced aftertaste. Underbrush and mineral accents complete the complex profile. Best from 2028 through 2045. 1,000 cases made, 250 cases imported.

Medium red in color, the 2020 Barolo is inviting and fruity. Its characteristic elegant profile features notes of pristinely preserved strawberries, candied roses, apricot, and sweet tea. Medium-bodied and fresh, with delicate, sweet fruit floating through the palate, it has ultra-fine tannins, and a clean, long finish. It’s easy to love this now, and it will have a wide open window for enjoyment over the next 5-7 years.

The 2020 Barolo is a very pretty, fragrant wine. Crushed red fruit, sage, mint, dried flowers, anise and spice give this ethereal Barolo lovely aromatic presence and plenty of allure. Drink it over the next decade or so.
