Comm. GB Burlotto Barolo DOCG 2021 comes from one of the most traditional wineries in the Barolo region, located in Verduno. Burlotto is known for its terroir-driven Nebbiolo creations, which have reflected generations of winemaking expertise. The 2021 vintage combines freshness, structure, and aromatic finesse – characteristics that critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator often associate with the balance and ambition of this vineyard. The vintage delivers a pronounced acidity without sacrificing complexity, highlighting the subtle terroir that makes Burlotto so distinctive.
The nose reveals a complex bouquet: red cherries, violets, and dried roses, along with a hint of tar and delicate spices. On the palate, fine, well-integrated tannins are supported by lively acidity and a mineral freshness. The wine is compact yet elegant, with a long finish that hints at cherry, truffle, and cedar, hinting at the Barolo's aging potential. The structure promises aging potential without overwhelming its youthful drinkability.
The wine is expected to reach its drinking window from 2026 onwards, continuing into the 2030s. Restrained yet complex aromas unfold with sufficient aeration. This Barolo is ideally suited to classic pairings: Tajarin al tartufo, Risotto ai funghi porcini, or slow-braised beef dishes; aged cheeses also accentuate its multifaceted nuances. A wine that impressively reflects the elegance and depth of the Burlotto estate.
