Importer’s Notes:

And yet, this is only part of the equation. Traditional treatment in the cellarfermentation with native yeast and long aging in Slavonian oak casks, orbotti grandiensures the beautiful fruit from Dardi is not altered or masked. Minimizing filtration and added sulfur at bottling preserves a velvetiness that makes the wines texturally seductive from release and through the years.
As a result, the Fantinos Baroli come loaded with rich, generous Nebbiolo fruit, flaunting a plushness that beckons. The wine is ripe, deep, and almost extravagant in its breadth of aroma and flavor, while a dense, tightly knit core of firm acidity and fine-grained tannins make up a rigid spine. Power, finesse, classic Barolo aromaticsits all there. Piemonte lovers will not want to miss it.
