The 2016 Barolo is medium in body, classically austere and full of character. Sweet red cherry, mint, white pepper, cedar, tobacco and dried flowers emerge, but only with great reluctance. I would not be in any rush to open bottles soon. Readers who enjoy traditionally made Barolos will adore the 2016. Patience is key here.

Food pairing

Matching a grape such as Nebbilolo that has high acid, high tannin and is highly aromatic can be challenging, select heavier style dishes with some fat, a protein such as meat or cheese and vegetables with acid such as tomato.
