2016 Gianfranco Bovio 'Rocchetevino' BAROLO, PIEDMONT, 750ml
Wine Advocate: 92 pts
With fruit from La Morra, the Bovio 2016 Barolo Rocchettevino shows a soft and silky disposition with an immediate, open-knit texture. Fruit comes from a small, half-hectare vineyard located 400 meters above sea level where nighttime temperatures are cool and breezy. This is the proverbial near-term Barolo that will appeal to those who don't have the patience to wait. Production is small at 2,600 bottles.
