Saturday, January 24, 2015 - I can't explain why I liked this so much as I don't know much about Barolo. But this had fruit, structure, and was just really nice. Went fantastic with both grilled roast beef on night one and then bone in ribeye the next. I need to explore Barolo. For those reading this that are into Barolo, sorry for the poor TN.

The producer uses large cask for many of its wines and barriques for some of the higher end CRUs. This looks like a straight Barolo from assorted vineyards and likely was aged traditionally in large cask I see on their site. Nice find.

If you have some in the 30-60 range, please send me an email. It was a really good wine. CT drinking window ends in 2014? Ha. Not for this wine.
