Vinous Antonio Galloni - 04 Jan 24
The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno turned out beautifully. This explosive, old-school Barolo packs a serious punch. Gravel, black cherry, menthol, lavender and crushed rocks literally stain the palate. Full-bodied and deep, with tons of virile, brooding intensity, the San Lorenzo is a winner. Readers will have to be patient, though.

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
