2017 Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Bricco Gattera 750ml

Experience the sun-drenched power of La Morra with the 2017 Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo "Bricco Gattera" 750ml at VS Liquor. Sourced from a single, south-facing amphitheater-shaped vineyard surrounding the iconic Cedar of Lebanon tree, Bricco Gattera is the estate's warmest site. This specific microclimate allows the Nebbiolo grapes to achieve a level of plushness and ripeness that is distinct within the appellation. The 2017 vintage was characterized by a warm, dry summer, which in the hands of the Montezemolo family, resulted in a Barolo of incredible concentration and structural integrity. Aged for 22 months in small French oak barrels, this wine seamlessly blends the traditional aromatic complexity of Barolo with a modern, velvety texture and a robust fruit profile.

Whether you are seeking a premier gift for a collector of elite Piedmontese reds or a high-scoring masterpiece (95 Points, James Suckling; 94 Points, Robert Parker; 93 Points, Antonio Galloni) to pair with porcini mushroom risotto, braised beef short ribs, or aged Castelmagno cheese, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, delivering a concentrated core of dark fruit framed by firm, ripe tannins and a long, balsamic finish that echoes with the warmth and nobility of the Gattera hill.
