This is the cellar-stuffer.  If you're going to lay some Barolo into the gas tank to have on hand and crush with a nice steak, or at the end of a long week, this is IT. Often one of my favorite wines to forget about (if I can for long enough) and lay down in the Cellar. Alas, I also love to drink this fresh and revel in Vittore's masterful winemaking. He views this as his *flagship* with good reason and reflects the true art of an art-of-the-blend region. Bottoms up!

From the Winery: This Barolo is distinguished by the “spicy elegance” that is the territorial hallmark of the wines of Verduno. It is produced according to the traditional practice of blending grapes from several vineyards; in this case five: Pisapola, Riva Rocca, Campasso, Rocche dell’Olmo and Boscatto.

A beautiful representation of the village of Verduno that displays a supremely sexy nose! Juicy blood orange, pomegranate and dark red cherry mingle with fresh rose and mineral notes. The gentle roll of ripe, silky fruit tannins that unfurl on the palate are matched by a lively freshness and support the weight of the detailed, juicy fruit. Impeccable balance. -Goedhuis

The 2018 Barolo del Comune di Verduno is aromatic, delicate and super-expressive. Bright red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender, spice and dried herbs open with a bit of coaxing. The 2018 offers a lovey combination of fruitiness and mid-weight Verduno structure. -Antonio Galloni

Youthful mid ruby. Lifted, fresh cherry fruit with dark earth notes and a fine layer of spice. Very elegant and fine on the palate, almost ephemeral. Notes of amarena cherry with fine, long bitter-sweet powdery tannins. Super-elegant and pretty and ready now. Highly recommended for those seeking elegance over power. -Jancis Robinson
