Of these releases from 2011 by Schiavenza, the 2011 Barolo Broglio works best, thanks to the integrity of its primary fruit. The aromas are more intense and vertical with rising tones of candied cherry, pressed blackberry and plum. Those aromas are painted with broad brush strokes here. The wine is immediate and accessible. Some 5,500 bottles were released.

Cherry, plum, licorice and tar flavors are matched by muscular tannins in this dense, monolithic red. Tightens up on the finish, yet remains balanced and long, with a savory, minerally quality. This will require some time to reveal all the facets. Best from 2019 through 2032. 395 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
