Guido Porro, Nebbiolo, Barolo "Gianetto" Piedmont, Italy 2020

A decidedly bold Barolo style, which Guido tactfully finesses to allow room for all those sunbaked black cherry flavors.

The Barolos of Serralunga are renowned for their power and longevity, as Serralunga's limestone-heavy soils provide long-lived and full-bodied expressions. In the Gianetto cru, sandier soil yields a more immediate, open-knit Barolo. 

Ages for 3 years in neutral 25-hL Slavonian oak botti.

Guido Porro's wines are worthy of a stellar reputation, but he is too easygoing and unassuming to worry about whether the general wine-drinking public recognizes his name. Guido is the fourth generation at an estate that has always been passed from father to son, and now fifth-generation Fabio is starting to lend a hand in the family business.
