From a vineyard located on Spring Mountain

This is one wine where I have encountered better bottles

Living proof that fruit doesn’t always have to be the be all and end all of olfactory seduction

The 2011 Barolo Ornato is similarly rich and powerful

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Rocche Annunziata Riserva Vintage:2013 From a vineyard located onEnrico Scavinos 1990 Barolo Riserva Rocche dellAnnunziata (magnum), here in its first vintage, is a great example of the modern school of Barolo. Silky tannins frame a core of expressive red berries, crushed flowers and sweet spices. As outstanding as this magnum is, it doesnt quite reach the heights of a magnum I tasted a few months ago, and both were from the same case. Sometimes, thats just the way it goes. Antonio Galloni
