| Community Tasting Notes (average 94.2 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by D!n@sh on 2/24/2024 & rated 93 points: Beautiful nose. Rose petals and red fruit.
However the wine was reticent and tight, even after 3 hours of decant. Spicy, red fruit, peppery. Maybe a small amount of heat in the finish.
93 today. Hard to say how it would evolve. (1964 views) | | | Tasted by Gunakadeit on 5/14/2023 & rated 96 points: My second bottle this year. PNP. Wonderfully floral. Tea, orange blossom, menthol, crunchy red fruits, nice acidity. (2704 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 3/12/2023 & rated 95 points: During a walkabout event, no detailed tasting notes. Darker than the Monvigliero but also very good.

Glass: Stölzle Universal
Burlotto elegance meets 2018 openness. Beautiful Barolo to drink now and over the next 5+ years. Cannubi had a bit more depth than Acclivi, really beautiful and deep. 93-94 (2531 views) | | | Tasted by micsauer on 1/30/2023 & rated 94 points: As always, Burlotto delivers an extraordinary Barolo. This time, there was just a little bit of heat to be noticed on the palate. Let's see how this ages. (2266 views) | | | Tasted by Gunakadeit on 1/1/2023 & rated 95 points: Slightly crunchy red fruits, wet stone, racy acidity. Drinking really well, and has not yet shut down. At this point, with no decant, high-class cru bojo with an extra dimension. (2027 views) | | | Tasted by Yagil on 11/18/2022 & rated 94 points: Comm. G.B.

Nose of dusty rose petal, profound mint, sweet red fruit and a touch of road tar.
Feels more intense on the palate, more mouthfeel, a lot of structure on the finish. This has all the stuffing to age really well.

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)NebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

The wines of Piedmont are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piedmont was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piedmontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power.
