Barolo Acclivi 2018 Burlotto
This Barolo Acclivi 2018 is a great Italian fine wine produced by Burlotto, one of the most relevant names in the Piedmontese wine scene. It comes from a blend of Nebbiolo grapes from the Monvigliero, Neirane and Rocche dell'Olmo vineyards, all located in the municipality of Verduno, where the winery is situated.
Fabio Alessandria is the heir of this historic winery that produces excellent wines according to tradition: the grapes are pressed with the feet, the vinification is whole cluster with maceration of two months, then there is a long aging in large barrels: all this gives life to a wonderful wine, able to show off amazing scents and elegant tannins.
The 2018 Barolo Acclivi shows an intense garnet colour, the nose expresses a broad bouquet of plum, violet petals, tobacco and liquorice, mint and coffee together with hints of leather and ethereal tar. The palate is magnificent in its intensity and harmony, with a tannic texture that, although present, is very elegant and silky. A very long finish for this great Barolo.
