Gianni Gagliardo Barolo 'La Morra' 2017

Product description

The 2017 Gianni Gagliardo Barolo from the village of La Morra in Piedmont, Italy, offers a refined expression of Nebbiolo. Known for its balance and elegance, this Barolo showcases the lighter, more floral characteristics typical of La Morra, with the ability to age gracefully over time.

  • Colour: Bright garnet red.
  • Aroma: Aromatic layers of violets, cherries, and subtle earth, with hints of licorice and herbs.
  • Palate: Smooth and well-structured, featuring red fruit flavors with vibrant acidity and a touch of minerality.
  • Body: Medium-bodied with refined tannins.
  • Finish: Long and balanced, with lingering floral and savory notes.

Accolades:

  • 93 Points - James Suckling
  • 90 Points - Wine Advocate

This wine pairs beautifully with red meats, game dishes, and mature cheeses. It is approachable now with decanting but will continue to evolve with cellaring over the next 10-15 years, revealing deeper complexity as it matures.
