Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2021

Restrained, if not low-key at the first impression, with small red-fruit aromas and lots of licorice. Minty and tight. Medium- to full-bodied, it seems built to last, with firm, dusty tannins and crisp acidity allied to a fresh fruit profile. Still young. Try from 2027.
