Barolo Ornato 2018 - Pio Cesare

"The 2018 Barolo Ornato is somber, brooding and quite closed in on itself. There's a ton of aromatic and flavor complexity, but the fruit is very much in the background. It will be interesting to see if the 2018 emerges, or if it remains rather compact, as it is today. There's a good bit of density and power behind all of that tannin. Hints of blood orange, crushed raspberry, rose petal and cinnamon linger on the super-classic finish." Antonio Galloni
From a careful but small selection of Nebbiolo grapes from the Cascina Ornato vineyards owned by the family in Serralunga d'Alba, one of the historically most prestigious areas of the entire Barolo territory, appreciated for the production of Barolos of great masculinity, structure , freshness and longevity. VINIFICATION: In steel, at rather high temperatures. Maceration on the skins for about 30 days. AGING: In French and Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months and a small part in barriques. NOTES: The first Barolo "Cru" produced by the family for the first time in 1985. Power, structure, concentration, persistent tannins, very long life. Produced in small quantities each year
