The 2013 Barolo Acclivi appears lean in texture but is actually very firm in substance. The wine delivers a lot more power and fiber than you may initially expect just by looking at the wine in the glass. Its perfumes are delicate and vibrant with dried roses, violets and red currant. There is a point of ripeness that is revealed on the finish, thanks to a lingering spot of fruity sweetness.
