Hailing from the celebrated vineyards of Bricco San Pietro, the Le Cecche Barolo 2017 is a testament to the rich terroir of this prestigious region. It’s a wine that commands attention, scoring a well-deserved 93 points. The complexity of this Barolo is truly captivating, offering a symphony of flavors from ripe cherries and plums to intriguing hints of licorice, tobacco, and a whisper of truffle. The palate is beautifully balanced, with firm tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries through to a lingering finish. This elegant Barolo is a perfect match for hearty Italian dishes like osso bucco or a robust risotto. Despite its stature, and reflecting an original retail price of $65, it delivers well beyond its peers, making it a truly great value find.
