Antonio Galloni, Score: 96
The 2009 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate is one of the most vivid and thrilling wines I have tasted at Voerzio in over a decade of regular visits. Black cherries, flowers, spices, menthol and licorice all jump from the glass. Layered, delineated and striking in its beauty, the 2009 impresses for its pure sophistication and elegance. This is an unusually polished vintage for the Capalot, a wine that is often much more brooding.
Region
Barolo
With Brunello in Tuscany, Barolo is undoubtedly Italy's finest wine producing region. Located in Piedmont in the north west of Iataly Barolo is comprised of 5 major communes - Barolo, Monteforte d'Alba, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba - though the latter three tend to represent the main styles of the region. The wines are compelling and polished - an exemplary expression of the Nebbiolo grape. DOCG law requires a minimum ageing of 2 years in cask or barrel yet can be longer depending on the producer. Barolos are generally released four or more years after the vintage.
