September 23, 2023 - What a Serralunga footprint this wine have. On reports that 2012 barolo is starting to drink well I thought I should check in on this bottle.
Drinking well, nonetheless with a bit of time the tannins expands plenty. It somehow remains pleasant but sweet mother of J. Another 3-5 years to rest won’t be a bad thing with the tannins in mind.
The rest holds up well and the wine is expressive with spices, cherries, raspberries, licorice, and so on.
Fresh acidity and a very long finish. Lots to like about this wine, my first Broglio.1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 7, 2017 - The nose was intense with spicy crushed cherry, strawberry, sweet rosy floral tones and hints of licorice. On the palate, I found silky waves of weighty textures contrasted by zesty ripe cherry, strawberry and sweet herbs with fine tannin. It finished long with a twang of acid, tannin and dried strawberries.

September 30, 2016 - Piedmont Trip, Day 2- Gigi Rosso, Schiavenza, Cavallotto (Barolo, Piemont, Italy): Nose: The nose is perfumed and savory with dark red fruits, licorice tones, spices, leather, cranberries, dark red cherries, earth tones, and a tinge of violets. There is excellent depth to this that just draws you in with style and class.
Taste: Full bodied with high tannins and high acidity. The structure is extremely youthful with the tannins being quite gripping. Though the structure is rough, the feel and tones of cranberries, dark red fruits, licorice, dark red cherries, earth notes, and some leather.
Overall: This is brutally young, but with tons of upside. The savoriness really shines through on the nose and palate with excellent depth as well. This will need the better part of 6-7 years to even start drinking, but it can really reward to the high.
