The Amalia Cascina in Langa 2016 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte offers a very floral bouquet with some greener aromas as you get fresh shoots on springtime garden growth. It's all very pleasant and uplifting. The wine presents a very fresh and youthful set of aromas with white flowers, forest berries, and a touch of sweet peach or nectarine. Dig a little deeper and you will find subtle hints of white licorice, spice, and crushed stone. The wine needs time to take shape, as this initial showing is very focused on primary aromas both floral and fruity. The wine's overall personality is light and compact, and it will flesh out in time. However, those cool-vintage Nebbiolo tannins kick in at the end and remind you that this is a Barolo built to last, no matter how soft and delicate its bouquet may appear at this stage.
