Fontanafredda Platinum Series Barolo 2017 DOCG (JS 92)

Top Ten Best Selling Wines - December 2022 Under $60

James Suckling 92 points.
Wine Spectator 92 points.

"Tasting Notes: Lots of dried strawberries with walnuts and lightly smoky, woody aromas, following through to a full body with chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Slightly bitter and woody at the end. Needs time to soften. Try after 2024." JS.

Winery Note:
The results of lengthy ageing, above-all on account of their natural qualities, these robust, well-bodied wines are packed with structure and are well capable of withstanding the test of time. Barolo has an attractive ruby-red colour with garnet highlights which become orange with the passing of time. Its bouquet is clean, full and intense, with the wine’s typical traces of withered flowers, dry leaves and underbrush.
2017 presented the estate with an outstanding vintage.
