Barolo Wine Tasting Vertical (2013, 2014, 2015)

$129.00 plus shipping

Why This Gift

Barolo is the King of Italian Wine. Give three bottles from different vintages to see how it ages

Barolo is already world famous, so picking a cru, or select vineyard, within Barolo, is a true privilege. Meet Ravera - known for its vibrancy, middle-weight depth, and the ability to cellar for decades. Try 3 vintages from Ravera, two from the cellar and the newest release, 2015, that is sure to be one for the history books.

Wine is different every year, depending on rainfall, temperature, and even winemaker. To truly understand this phenomenon you have to try the same exact wine from the same exact vineyard across several vintages.

Ravera wines from 2013 are silky with striking aromatics and a touch of rose hip tea. 2014 was a colder vintage that produced perfumey wines that are very expressive at the moment, and 2015 - the darling of the bunch - is already boasting an ephemeral nose of strawberry, cherry and sweet anise in its youth.

About the Wine

2013 Mocali Brunello di Montalcino

"Rich, velvety and savory this Mocali Brunello di Montalcino is a gorgeous expression of Italian wine. Dominant dark fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and bramble blend wonderfully with the spice and tobacco flavors from three years of aging before release. Big texture and tannins will have mellowed from age creating more of a smooth and integrated beauty." — Information provided by Millesima

2013 Latium Morini Amarone Della Valpolicella Campo Leon

"The grapes of the Latium Amarone Della Valpolicella are dried for about 100 days to create an intense, rich dark fruit flavor. Aged for about 40 months between large oak barrels and in the bottle, this smooth and elegant wine is vibrant and bold with notes of red berries, cherries, nutmeg, spice and vanilla." — Information provided by Millesima

2015 Fratelli Revello Barolo Vigna Gattera

"Barolo is the King of Italian wines. The Nebbiolo grape is the first to bud and last to ripen creating big, bold and structured red wines. High in acid and tannins this wine would benefit from cellaring. With patience comes beauty – the Fratelli Revello Barolo is fruit forward with notes of black cherry, stewed fruits, cedar and tart raspberry." — Information provided by Millesima
