Damilano Lecinquevigne Barolo 2012
Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyAnother super effort from Lecinquevigne, this is a blend of nebbiolo from five sites grown in the calcareous-clay soils of Barolo in Grinzane Cavour, Monforte and Novello. The vines are 30 to 50 years old and you can almost sense them regulating lower yields and squeezing out only the finest juiciest nebbiolo fruit into the grapes. Don’t be fooled by its pale colour but rather revel in its earthy, violet, wild cherry nose. The palate is similar with fleshy, juicy red fruits seldom encountered in young nebbiolo -especially from what many would describe as a difficult vintage. You can cellar this another three to five years or serve now with mushrooms, grilled beef or roasted chicken. Good value and worth stocking up. A great bottle for restaurants.Tasted: 24 May 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $47.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
