Note di degustazione
The 2016 Barolo Fossati is laced with red fruit, orange zest, cedar, cinnamon, dried autumn leaves and sweet pipe tobacco, along with the nervous tannins that are such a Fossati signature. In the glass, the 2016 is translucent and a bit edgy, but it all works. This is such an attractive and expressive wine that balances the depth that has always been typical of these wines with notable site expression.

Drawing its fruit from old vines in La Morra, the Enzo Boglietti 2016 Barolo Fossati offers a smooth, silky and accessible personality. This wine should probably be accessible with another five years or more of aging. This vineyard site has silty soils, and these conditions work to create complexity and soft dimension in the wine. Red cherry, dried raspberry, blood orange, licorice and smoke emerge from the bouquet. Only 3,600 bottles were made.
Pale crimson. Again has the smoky earthy nose. Not an elegant style, more powerful and forthright. Autumnal notes and moderate acidity support the weighty tannins. (AC)
