2019 Gianni Gagliardo Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy

A great example of Nebbiolo from the Barolo DOCG.   This was a unique vintage that began with heavy snowfall in the spring, but this lead to lower yields leads which gives the resulting wines wonderful concentration and depth of fruit.  This young wine is just beginning to shine with beautiful rose petal floral highlights on the nose, light earthy truffle aromas and a good amount of cherry berry fruit.  On the palate this wine is rich and layered with a long complex herb and spice laced finish.  Very pleasurable to drink today but with lots of ageing potential as well.
