Barolo Acclivi 2016 Comm. G.B. Burlotto

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

Opening to rich darkness and intensity, the 2016 Barolo Acclivi shows vibrant energy. This wine represents a blend of fruit from across various vineyard sites, including old vines in Monvigliero, Neirane and Rocche dell’Olmo. The wine shows dark fruit, smoked bacon, the same pepper spices we got with the Pelaverga and crushed flowers. The wine shows stems and bramble, although they are not green or astringent. A better descriptor would be spice, cinnamon and unripe cherry. 7,000 bottles produced.

This red is round and cherry-flavored, with lovely clarity and definition. Strawberry, earth and tobacco notes emerge, as do the dusty tannins that are more lacy than dense, extending on the finish.
