"This is an intense Barolo with lovely palate weight filled with dark cherries, rose petals and black tea leaves. A full bodied, intense red with good color for a Nebbiolo. Tannins are very well handled and there is a softness to the finish despite the tannins being high and very firm."

"A highly traditional Barolo one of the most classic wineries in the district that has existed for over 60 years. It has a typical luminous garnet color and a bouquet that Veronelli used to call ''Barolo breath''. There are spicy notes and then those of violet, a touch of licorice, currant and mulberry. The taste has great character, flourishing youthful tannins that are neither aggressive nor dry out. The flavor is warm, wrapping yet taut, austere, with a long, almost severe finish."

"Capturing the freshness and finesse of the vintage, this has classic varietal aromas of rose petal, forest berry, camphor and underbrush. Reflecting the nose, the vibrant, focused palate delivers ripe red cherry, crushed raspberry, wild mint and star anise set against taut, refined tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. While you won't have to wait years before enjoying this, it will also age at least another decade or more. Best 2024-2033. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Aromas of rose, wild berries, leather and sunbaked underbrush come to the forefront. The wine was made with organically farmed grapes, and the palate shows an earthy elegance, featuring ripe cherry, blood orange, star anise and hints of truffle before closing on an iron note. Firm but refined tannins provide support. Drink 2027-2032. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Aromas of woodland berry, underbrush, hazelnut and camphor form the nose along with a whiff of rose petal in this captivating, delicious wine. The full-bodied, structured palate is still young and primary but already shows raspberry compote, ripe Marasca cherry, star anise, tobacco and the barest hint of game. Tightly knit, noble tannins and fresh acidity provide the firm frame and impart serious aging potential. Hold for even more complexity. Drink 2026-2056. Kerin O'Keefe"

"New leather, menthol, woodland berry, dark spice and a whiff of pressed rose petal are just some of the scents you'll find on this radiant red. Vibrant and loaded with finesse, the structured palate delivers juicy Maraca cherry, cranberry, white pepper, star anise and a hint of pipe tobacco while youthfully taut noble tannins and firm acidity provide an age-worthy framework. It's already stunning but needs time to develop to its full potential. Drink 2023-2043."

"Cavallotto still travels under the radar, but is one of the finest Barolo producers. Its Bricco Boschis is bold and beautiful, offering intense rose and berry aromas layered with eucalyptus. The creamy palate delivers cherry, spice and balsamic notes, along with hints of Alpine herbs. To let this complex wine develop fully, drink it after 2019."
