Gagliardo Barolo 2019 (750ml)

Deep garnet with amber nuances, the 2019 Barolo from Poderi Gianni Gagliardo opens with a layered and expressive bouquet—dried rose, sour cherry, tar, and sweet spices, interwoven with hints of anise, leather, and crushed herbs. Sourced from a selection of estate vineyards across La Morra, Monforte, and Serralunga d’Alba, the fruit reflects the diversity of Barolo’s soils and exposures. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with extended maceration, followed by ageing in large Slavonian and French oak casks for approximately 30 months, allowing the wine to develop structure and aromatic depth without excess oak imprint. The palate is poised and powerful, with redcurrant, dried plum, and orange peel layered over firm, finely-knit tannins. Acidity is vivid and drives through a long, savoury finish, where notes of spice, tobacco, and iron-rich earth echo with restrained elegance.
