WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Intense, vibrant ruby red. Aromas of wild cherry, graphite, smoke and leather. The palate is powerful and imposing in the glass, with tremendous textural richness, everything seems amped up in the 2015; aromatics, fruit and acidity.
TASTING NOTES:
Very distinctive nose with violets and very pure blackcurrants and blueberries, as well as leafy nuances, all of which deliver a fresh impression. The palate has impressive depth and density and the cool, blue fruit at the center sits fresh and vibrant. Smoothly resolved tannins shape a distinguished, balanced and long palate.

This Barolo has a nice dose of soft spice and an accessible and upfront style. The 2015 Barolo Campè Vürsù is a dark and velvety wine with lots of dark intensity. You could wait for more tertiary aromas to evolve or easily pop this bottle open in a year or two with some braised short ribs. The wine sees 24 months of oak.
