WINEMAKER NOTES:
This Barolo comes from the Gianetto cru in Serralunga d’Alba with a prime southeastern exposure to catch the morning sun. The Barolos of Serralunga are renowned for their power and longevity, and while Porro’s Gianetto is not the unyielding, tannic beast of old, it will certainly benefit from a few years in your cellar.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2017 Barolo Gianetto is soft, pliant and ready to give pleasure. Kirsch, rose petal, mint, orange peel and sweet spice are all laced together in this supple, silky Barolo from Guido Porro. Ripe, juicy tannins add to its considerable appeal. Best after 2024.
