Red Wine: 2018 | Comm. G.B. Burlotto | Cannubi

This has a delicate nose that eventually reveals new leather, forest floor, and dark spice. On the linear palate, notes of licorice and ground clove accent a core of wild cherry while tight tannins and bright acidity provide support.

Producer Information

G.B. Burlotto is a small estate in the Piedmont village of Verduno, particularly known for its wines from the Nebbiolo variety. The estate is a major owner in the Monvigliero cru, and the resultant wine is regarded as one of the greatest of all Barolos. The wine portfolio includes five Barolo DOCG as well as highly regarded wines produced from Barbera, Dolcetto, and Freisa. The rare and ancient Pelaverga variety is produced as a varietal wine and, depending on the vintage, may spend a short period aging in large oak barriques. There is also an uncommon Nebbiolo rosé included in the collection. Winemaking remains very traditional, with grapes crushed by foot and very long macerations. On the contrary, barrel aging usually takes place in large French oak barrels, rather than Slavonian ones. The Monvigliero vineyard of the estate is one of the most famous of the Alba Langa region. A complex soil system of clay, silt, sand, and limestone components with a south-facing aspect and altitude of 300 meters (984 feet) above sea level create ideal terroir for the 2 hectares (5 acres) of vines planted here.
