Palladino Ornato, Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 2018

Description

The 2018 Palladino Ornato Barolo DOCG from Piedmont’s Serralunga d’Alba pours deep garnet and smells of dried roses, tar, and black cherry, with earthy truffle undertones. Full-bodied yet refined, it offers dark fruit, grippy tannins, and a zesty, mineral finish. Aged in Slavonian oak, this warm-vintage Barolo balances power and approachability. Drink now with a decant or cellar through 2030+. Pair with braised meats or aged cheese—a bold, soulful gem.
