Tasting Notes
Kerin O’Keefe 96
Underbrush, wild berry, dark culinary spice, chopped herb and tilled earth are just some of the aromas you ll discover on this gorgeous wine. Impeccably balanced and loaded with finesse, the palate delivers wild raspberry, red cherry, clove, ground white pepper and licorice while radiant acidity and youthfully austere, noble tannins provide structure. It already boasts impressive depth but it still needs to fully develop. A gorgeous wine.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2043

The 2013 Barolo Acclivi is another knockout from Burlotto. The Acclivi shows slightly red and purplish hued fruits, with lavender, mint, violet and spice that develop in the glass. The 2013 is naturally very tightly wound, but it offers superb freshness, along with a striking interplay of pliant fruit, lifted, floral-infused aromatics, and an acid/tannin profile that adds brightness throughout. Readers will have to be patient, but there is no rush. This is a fabulous Barolo in the making.
