2016 was considered an excellent year for Barolo and finding this wine for $40 makes it a bargain, especially when compared to other Barolos with equal quality. With a few years of age, is surprisingly ready to drink after uncorking. The wine shows classic Barolo notes including rose petals, tar, and tart cranberry. Ultimately this is a great wine for a great price.
