Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 13 Jul 22
Burlotto's Acclivi is from their best plots and oldest vineyards in Verduno and is beautifully described on their website as 'a liquid postcard from Verduno'. It is produced only when the quality is good enough. The 2018 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Acclivi has aromas of strawberry coulis, a hint of incense, exotic spice and delicate violet notes that come and go. With more substance and concentration than their classic Barolo, this wine is concentrated but not heavy. It is sheer pleasure to drink with a lovely texture - super-silky, harmonious and refined. The very fine tannins are hardly present. There is a lovely freshness, fragrance and silkiness. Beautiful.

The 2018 Barolo Acclivi is a Verduno blend from Monvigliero, Neirane and Rocche Olmo. Creamy and layered in the glass, with terrific persistence and fine balance, the Acclivi is an absolute delight in 2018. Red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, spice, lavender and macerated cherry build nicely over time. The Acclivi is sometimes overlooked in this range, which is a shame as it is a terrific wine.

Barolo Vineyard Fine Wine

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
