Gianni Gagliardo, Barolo Preve Vintage:2011 12 months in oak but

12 months in oak but you wouldn’t know it

This should drink well young but reward mid-term cellaring as well

We started out with the Marius wines

In a telling sign of where Etna is going market-wise

Gianni Gagliardo, Barolo Preve Vintage:2011 12 months in oak butGianni Gagliardo's 2010 Barolo Preve has come together quite nicely since I tasted it a few months ago. The tannins have begun to soften, allowing the dark fruit to come through with greater precision and nuance. Cloves, mocha, spices and black cherries wrap around the brooding, potent finish in a virile Barolo to drink over the next decade or so. Antonio Galloni
