2016 Pio Cesare Barolo DOCG Piedmont, Italy

(96 Points) Enticingly fragrant, this wine offers alluring scents of iris, rose, perfumed berry and wild herb. It's full bodied and elegant, delivering crushed raspberry, juicy Marasca cherry, star anise and orange zest set against a backbone of taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and lends intensity. Drink 2024–2036. Kerin O’Keefe- WIne Enthusiast
