January 24, 2010 - Fr Craig Perman, PermanWine.com: There are always generalizations that I make when talking about wine. One thing often said around the shop is that really good Barolo values start in the $45-$55 range. Now here comes the exception.
Located in Piedmont, Tenuta Arnulfo is a high quality producer that owns three separate estates. “Costa di Bussia” is the flagship winery of the group, with some estate vineyards founded in 1874. Many people lump producers of the region into either the traditional or the modern camp. Yet Tenuta Arnulfo is a hybrid, with a foot in both. Stainless steel tanks are used in vinification here, a nod to the modern. Maceration is also relatively short at 10 days. Yet the winery isn't looking for extracted fruit, nor are they aging the wine in small new French oak. Instead the '05 Barolo was aged for 26 months in large 3000 liter casks.
Their '05 Barolo offers unheard of quality for the money in the famed region. Part of this is due to the fact that they are directly imported, and maybe part in the fact that they are relatively undiscovered. For any fan of Barolo, this amazing value is a must. Classic Nebbiolo notes of licorice, cherry, and leather on the nose lead in to a structured mouth full of red and black fruits, spice and fine tannins. This is powerful yet also wonderfully drinkable now. Barolo is one of the great food wines of the world, and it may be time to break out your favorite adaptation of beef braised in Barolo, for an ultimate winter treat! Drink now though 2015.
You won't find a better Barolo value than this! $33.99 BTL. / $407.88 CASE
