Palladino

Barolo 'Parafada' 2016

94

Deeply embedded in Serralunga, Palladino has been on a roll in recent vintages. Parafada is a south-facing site, and the wine is aged both in casks and in barriques. It's no heavyweight, and the raspberry-scented nose is lively and piquant. The attack is fresh and zesty, limpid and energetic, with rich fruit but no over-extraction. Delicious now, this is well balanced and should age well. Their Ornato is almost as fine. Drinking Window 2020 - 2038

Very aromatic with flowers and raspberries and some bark and wet earth. Medium to full body, round and tight tannins and an attractive, creamy finish. A little timid now, but so beautiful. Give it a year or two to show even more

Aromas of mature berry, French oak, moist earth, leather and a whiff of rose take shape on this full-bodied red. Reflecting the nose, the firm brawny palate offers coconut, vanilla, dried cherry and the heat of evident alcohol alongside assertive, grainy tannins that clench the finish
