Burlotto Barolo "Acclivi" '19
“Acclivi” is produced from a selection of grapes from Burlotto’s best and oldest vineyards located in Verduno (Monvigliero, Neirane, Rocche dell’Olmo and Boscatto), and only in years in which the quality meets certain requirements in terms of character. The bunches were destemmed, and fermentation was carried out in open French oak vats. Temperature control was used during maceration. The wine was matured in large Allier oak barrels, then matured for 20–33 months. After bottling in the summer, the wine rested in the cellar for about nine months before being released.
"The Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2019 Barolo Acclivi is a selection of fruit from old vines in the best positions in Verduno. Specifically, it is a blend of fruit from Monvigliero, Neirane and Rocche dell’Olmo. The bouquet opens to elegant floral intensity with wild rose, violet, orange peel and delicate berry. This wine feels very alive thanks to the lifted and delicate nature of its aromas. The finish is silky, with melting tannins and terrific length. Wines from Verduno tend to show a combination of floral intensity and spiciness, but this vintage of Acclivi is partial to the floral side of the equation. 97 Points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate."
A great study in Verduno Barolo.
