Gianni Gagliardo operates in a part of La Morra where wines of superior concentration cannot be made. He has, intelligently, focused on elegance, balance, and continuity, all features of his 1999 Barolo, with a fragrant cherry and light licorice nose, round flavors with smooth tannins, more than adequate depth and length, and a fine harmony of all the elements.
