From the heart of Serralunga d’Alba, the 2018 Boasso Barolo captivates with its deep garnet hue and a bouquet that unfolds layers of dark cherry, rose petals, and a hint of earthy truffle. Scoring 93 points from Luca Maroni and 92 from James Suckling, this Barolo showcases the region’s distinctive terroir, where the interplay of clay and limestone imbues the wine with both structure and elegance. On the palate, velvety tannins embrace flavors of ripe blackberries and spice, leading to a lingering, complex finish that hints at tobacco and licorice. Perfect for a cozy dinner with rich, slow-braised lamb or a hearty mushroom risotto, this wine is a remarkable find that delivers well beyond its peers, making it a smart buy for the quality it offers.
