Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2021 Rocca di Frassinello the winery’s founderRestrained, if not low key at the first impression, with small red fruit aromas and lots of licorice. Minty and tight. Medium to full bodied, it seems built to last, with firm, dusty tannins and crisp acidity allied to a fresh fruit profile. Still young. Try from 2027. 93 Pts James Suckling
