G. B. Burlotto - Langhe Nebbiolo 2023

Giovan Battista Burlotto formally established this estate in 1850, and it was one of the very first Barolo estates to bottle its own wine. Most of the estate’s wines come from vineyards in the village of Verduno, and these wines share a gracefulness and aromatic profile that is unique in the world of Barolo. The estate remains devoted to traditional Langhe winemaking, with well-seasoned botti grandi used to age all the Barolos. Barolo fermentations use exceptionally long macerations, and the Barolo Monvigliero’s grapes are tread entirely by foot. Burlotto was a key champion of the local Pelaverga grape, and much of the credit for its modern resurgence. All harvesting is by hand, and viticulture respects the natural balance of the vineyards.

Aged in large French oak barrels. Bottling is usually carried out in the period between the end of August and the beginning of September of the year following the harvest.

"The 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo is another stellar wine in this range from Burlotto. It expresses all the classicism and personality of the house style, unfurling in the glass with crushed rose petal, orange peel, mint, white pepper and cinnamon. The Langhe Nebbiolo is 60-70% declassified fruit from Barolo-designated vineyards, while the rest is from sites just over the appellation border. It spent ten months in cask. (Drink between 2024-2031).” - 90 Points, Vinous
