    Compared to the “simple” Barolo from Cascina Fontana, this vintage is more ambitious, with tighter substance, more present bitters and an aromatic, in my opinion, much less charming... It's a bit of everything I fear from Nebiolo on call, a somewhat sad austerity, and a lack of complexity. I had been so captivated by the Barolo 17 that here everything lacked flavor... The fact remains that by waiting 5/7 years it should evolve remarkably, its density having a real depth, the grain a finesse under -jacent. At this stage, it lacks fruitiness and flowers and remains stuck in its leather, its brambles, its autumnal harshness.
