Ciabot Berton Barolo Roggeri 2010
La Morra, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyAt eight years old this Barolo isn’t giving a lot up on the nose save for some leathery, dusty, dried cherry notes. It’s one hundred percent nebbiolo grown on the clayey-calcareous Roggeri cru, a hilly site, with south-east exposure, at 300 metres above sea level. Maceration is traditional in glass-lined concrete vats for at least 18-20 days before ageing, first in French oak casks, then in Slavonia oak casks. With time the wine opens offering floral, rose petal notes, licorice, dried mushrooms and cinnamon spice. Full-bodied at this point with firm, long dry tannins. Pairings are all on the rich side be it game, braised beef, hard old cheeses or anything involving truffles. Decant for 60 minutes or more when possible. No rush to open this bottle.Tasted: 27 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $94.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
