Ellena Giuseppe Barolo La Morra DOCG 2017

”Bright red fruit with tinges of violets, tobacco and citrus rind. Medium-bodied with lightly chewy tannins, bright acidity and more orange rind and a twist of nutty vanilla right at the end. Traditional feel to this. Tasty, too” 92 Points, James Suckling 

"Aromatic, offering floral, licorice and spice notes surrounding a core of cherry. The fruit is more prominent on the palate, where accents of mint and leather also peek through. On the elegant side, with fine balance and length.'' 93 Points, Wine Spectator Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)

"Here's a great value for Nebbiolo watchers. The Ellena Giuseppe Barolo shows the precision and focus of the vintage with soft tannins, bright fruit flavors and balanced acidity. The bouquet is redolent of wild berry, cassis, tilled earth and blue flower.'' 92 Points, Wine Advocate Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)

“There is plenty to like about the 2017's they're mid-weight Barolos with the classic structure of Nebbiolo. They are often intensely aromatic. Acids and tannins are prominent in many wines. The fruit profiles are ripe, often distinctly redtoned, but not cooked or over-ripe. Perhaps most importantly, the 2017 Barolos are very true to site. The best 2017s are exceptionally polished, vivid and flat-out delicious” Antonio Galloni

This is highlighted by notes of ripe berry, fragrant blue flower and a hint of Alpine herbs. The generous palate offers juicy black cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and licorice alongside fine-grained tannins.
