Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino 'Vigna dei Dardi', Barolo DOCG, Italy 2016 Poderi Colla displaying ripe apple and syrupThis Barolo comes loaded with rich, generous Nebbiolo fruit, flaunting a plushness that beckons. The wine is ripe, deep, and almost extravagant in its breadth of aroma and flavor, while a dense, tightly knit core of firm acidity and fine grained tannins make up a rigid spine. Power, finesse, classic Barolo aromaticsits all there. Piemonte lovers will not want to miss it.
