The 2012 Barolo Buon Padre opens to spicy nuances and dark fruit. This is a somber and slightly rustic expression of the grape, trading in silkiness for authenticity and personality. You feel the wine's rich texture on the palate. Starting with this vintage, the Barolo Buon Padre is made with fruit from eight single vineyards of Barolo: Bricco delle Viole, San Pietro, La Volta, Fossati, Alessandria and San Ponzio are now blended with fruit from Terlo and Ravera as well.

As much about savory licorice, tar and tobacco flavors as cherry fruit, this red remains sweet on the palate through the long, firmly structured finish. Best from 2020 through 2035. 1,500 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
