Light, rose color, silky smooth with a hint of tobacco, basil and mint.

Layers of pine, balsamic, kirsch, and menthol emerge from the 2019 Barolo Tortoniano, balanced nicely with the floral perfume of pressed roses. A medium-bodied and well-structured red, it has ripe tannins, a fresh spine of acidity, and lingering notes of leather and fresh soil. It is charming now, but it certainly has the structure to drink well over the next 8-10 years.

90 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2018 Barolo Tortoniano is very nicely done. Gentle touches of spice, crushed flowers, mocha, orange peel and red berry fruit give this aromatic, open-knit Barolo plenty of charm. Best of all, the 2018 will drink well with minimal cellaring" 09/22
