Enrico VI is an elegant and unique expression of Nebbiolo with impressive finesse and sophistication. Save this bottle for an important occasion and cellar age the wine five to 10 more years at a minimum. Aromas include coffee, tar, dried tobacco, leather and delicate forest fruit. There are hints of vanilla and toast on the close that will soften with time.

Barolo Enrico VI is a gorgeous wine that oozes intensity, depth and impressive aromatic complexity. There is a modern twist evident here in the form of toasted nut and spice aromas, but true to the Nebbiolo grape, the wine also shows nuanced layers of hummus, cola and chopped mint. Drink after 2018.

Gorette Riserva is a blockbuster wine with big oak tones of spice and toast in the background of vibrant aromas of red cherry, blackberry and cassis. What really sets this wine apart, however, is the plushness and richness of its finely textured mouthfeel.

Here’s a truly astonishing Barolo (from the Bricco Gattera cru) that epitomizes the “big boy” style that represents one of two dominant winemaking philosophies in the Langhe. This is an exuberant wine with thickly extracted notes of coffee bean, blackberry, leather and savory layers of black pepper. The wine is rich, smooth and velvety and will appeal less to Nebbiolo traditionalists.

Barolo Monfalletto offers huge bang for your buck. The wine is rich and velvety with dense aromas of chocolate fudge, exotic spice, dark licorice and chewy fruit. Blueberry, dried lavender and Christmas spice accent the wine’s naturally velvety feel and bright finish. Pair this wine with lamb chops scottadito.

Enrico VI reveals an elegant persona that is very much in line with Barolo tradition. The wine exudes fruit, especially wild berries and white cherries, and offers delicate shadings of cola, tea and black licorice. There is a sharp, thorny edge to the mouthfeel that will soften with time. Drink after 2015.

This is an exceptional wine that will leave a mark, and a memory, with those who drink it. It’s irresistible because of its brilliant, but simple, philosophy. Traditional Nebbiolo tones of cola, licorice and pressed violets are set beautifully against modern tones of spice, chocolate and vanilla. It’s the integration of these two extremes that make this Barolo so important.
