Neirano Barolo 2021
This full-bodied Barolo has been one of our top selling Italian wines for the last 5 years. Tenute Neirano is a small DOCG estate, and part of the company founded in 1911 by Antonio Sperone beginning with fortified wines and vermouth in a small cellar just outside of Turin. Sperone wanted to focus on high end wines in Piemonte in the 1980's so the family purchased a 25 hectare property in the heart of Monforte d'Alba, a region famous for its compressed sandstone soils, crafting intense, structured wines with great power and longevity. It is there, in an ancient 17th century villa, that this fine Barolo is produced. It spent 3 years in large Slovenian oak barrels and 1 year in bottle before leaving the winery for export. The 4th generation of the family is now making the wine.

A very pleasant and real Barolo here with dried cherries, raspberry jam and hints of spicy vanilla on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with rather chewy, loose-grained tannins for now.
Vinous

This shows notes of plums, dark chocolate, tea leaves and spices, following through to a medium to full body with racy acidity and tight-grained tannins. Firm and grainy on the palate with a mineral aftertaste. It needs a little more fruit concentration, yet it’s quite solid and structured, somewhat of an old-school Barolo. Give it a few years to soften. Try after 2027.
