Otin Fiorin Piè Franco-Michet Barolo Nebbiolo

Thanks to Valerio at Taverna Cestia for this beauty!! I didn’t know a young Barolo could be so elegant and light.

2012. Quel beau vin. Nez magnifique. Tout en jeunesse

Beautiful drinking Barolo that is finessed, floral & elegant showing bright cherry, berry fruits, dried tea, licorice, tar & rose petal.

Compared with the Rupestris I found an even "darker" Barolo here. Dark berries, graphite, minerals and a good tannic spine. Much more "closed" than the Rupestris and hence less expressive imho. This one need lots of bottle age I believe to deliver its goods

Ripe red fruit, moderate plus tannins, very enjoyable

Terrific 2012 monvigliero only found in Italy. Amazing!
