Poderi Colla, Barolo DOCG (Piedmont, Italy) 2015

 It is a pleasure to see this great little estate back at the top of its game, turning out a wine at the same level as the wonderful 2010.  The fruit is even more open and generous in this rendition, but still fresh and very pure, which is a hallmark of Poderi Colla wines, along with restrained wood and alcohol.  Accents are actually more mineral than woody, and those with sufficient patience to let this gain additional complexity as bottle age contributes tertiary notes will be rewarded with a truly great wine.
