2016 Barolo Enrico VI 6er Holzkiste-- Cordero di Montezemolo

Fruit for the Cordero di Montezemolo 2016 Barolo Enrico VI is drawn from a two-hectare parcel in Villero, in Castiglione Falletto. This subzone shows especially sharp and focused aromas in this gorgeous 2016 incarnation, and indeed, that brilliant linearity is what pops out first and foremost when you evaluate the bouquet of this iconic Barolo. Wild cherry, summer plum, white stone, limestone, cola and camphor ash emerge with balanced intensity. The Enrico VI is framed by very fine and silky tannins that add a firm backbone. This wine is tightly stitched together and ready for extra cellar time.

Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo and his family have designed a new bottle that will be used across the entire range of products from this historic estate. It mimics the shape of the old Burgundy-inspired bottle that this estate used in the 1960s. Starting this summer, all new releases will showcase this new packaging, You can get a glimpse of it on the Langhe Arneis reviewed here.
