Barolo Gramolere 2016 75cl

If you consider the Barolo playbook at Fratelli Alessandria, the 2016 Barolo Gramolere takes the intensity and power up one more notch. You get black fruit and blackberry, but there is enough vibrant red fruit to keep this wine aligned with the more elegant and traditional side of Barolo. The wine shows compelling infinities with both the powerful and the elegant side of Nebbiolo. There are noticeable mineral notes and even a spot of savory salinity. However, Gramolere definitely has the power and inner grit to withstand long cellar aging. Only 7,000 bottles were made.<br/>

A rich 2016 with lots of sweet strawberry, cedar and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and chewy with lots of polished tannins and a fresh, linear finish. Solid. Try after 2024.
