Carlin de Paolo, Barolo, 2019

Named after the village in Piedmont which it calls home, Barolo is arguably Italy’s most famous wine.

The purest expression of Nebbioolo, it balances elegance, savoury notes, tannic grip and power.

This is a wonderful ‘entry level’ example which saves your pocket from the £200 price tag you often see on good Barolo.

This wine opens with aromas of ripe raspberries, blood orange zest and a subtle hint of chalk.
