Josetta Saffrio, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Aug 29, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This striking wine was the most deeply colored and flavored of a flight of very big wines, and yet its impressive power and intensity was not purchased at the price of over-ripeness or any harshness from over-extraction in the cellar.  The wood is likewise restrained and, considering the sheer beauty of the fruit in this wine, respectful.
