Unfortunately I was only able to taste one wine from Gigi Rosso. The 2007 Barolo Arione is a huge, powerful wine. This is a virile, potent style, but the vintage seems to have given the wine an extra measure of fruit and polish that has been missing in some previous years. Iron, smoke, tar and dark red fruit are just some of the notes that wrap around the muscular, insistent finish. This is an impressive showing from Gigi Rosso. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.

Pungent with tar, licorice, soy and black cherry aromas and flavors, this is a dense, saturated red with a brawny structure. The finish is long, showing all elements in balance. A terrific combination of fruit, texture, structure and place. Best from 2014 through 2028. 1,500 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
