"The 2017 Barolo Riserva Vignolo is laced with hints of sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, leather, anise and dried flowers. Translucent and driving, with lovely balance, the 2017 shows a good bit of floral and earthy character, with dried fruit notes that are pushed into the background."

"Vignolo is a small vineyard site just down the hill from Bricco Boschis. The 2017 Barolo Riserva Vignolo (made with organic fruit) shows extra richness and density and more mineral definition that give this wine precision and focus. There is pencil shaving, crushed stone and licorice around a core of wild berry fruit and soft cherry. This vintage shows a broader more generous personality overall. The vines are 40 years old on average, and this Barolo ages in large Slavonian oak casks for 60 months. Production is limited to 2,609 bottles this vintage."

"Beginning to mellow, this red reveals plum, cherry, autumn wood, tar, smoke and menthol flavors. Broad and burly, with the heat of the vintage showing in the rustic tannins. Offers fine length, leaning toward the tannins in the end. Best from 2025 through 2040. 580 cases made, 174 cases imported."
