This wine carries a hot-vintage character, which comes as a surprise, with a medium-plus, viscous feel and a glossy texture. The Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2021 Barolo paints a broad portrait of Nebbiolo without the high-definition clarity or the high notes that you get in the cooler years. The approach is instead quite accessible and open, with silky tannins and a fruit-driven finish.
All these wines from Burlotto have a jewel-like ruby hue, and each of the Barolo were aged for three years in oak, without fining or filtering so they have time to settle and take on this brilliant clarity. The 2021 Barolo has a lot of complexity and clarity on the nose, which is focused and lifted with fresh spices, ripe red berries, sweet citrus zest, candied cinnamon, and fresh flowers. The palate is medium-bodied but has considerable depth of mineral texture, with notes of salty earth, electric, refreshing acidity, and an energy that lifts the wine through its long finish. Drink 2025-2045.
