His entry-level Barolo draws from several communal sources, predominantly La Morra, where the sandier, more friable soils typically produce wines of perfume and elegance rather than outright power. Coming from the celebrated 2021 vintage — a year of long, even ripening and excellent natural balance that has critics drawing comparisons to the great vintages of the last two decades — this bottling shows fragrant red cherry, rose petal and a touch of liquorice and spice on the nose, with the silky tannins and approachable, polished structure that has always defined Altare's house style. It's a Barolo built for relatively earlier drinking compared to its more traditional, tannic counterparts, yet the quality of the vintage gives it real potential to evolve gracefully over the next decade or more in the cellar..\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mcePastedContent\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021 Cavollotto Barolo Bricco Boschis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCavallotto is one of Barolo's most respected traditionalist producers — a family estate in Castiglione Falletto that has farmed the Bricco Boschis cru since the 1920s and was among the very first in the region to estate-bottle, back in 1948. This 7.3-hectare monopole site has 45-year-old vines enjoying panoramic southeast and southwest exposures at 230 to 350 metres in elevation, farmed organically, with full destemming and fermentation using only indigenous yeasts, a traditional maceration of 30 to 35 days, malolactic fermentation in cement, and ageing in Slavonian oak casks for three to three and a half years. The 2021 vintage — widely considered one of the finest in Barolo for some years — gives the wine real freshness alongside its trademark structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021 Conterno Fantino Barolo Vigna Ped Mosconi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mcePastedContent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConterno Fantino is one of the Barolo Boys generation's defining estates — founded in Monforte d'Alba in 1982 by Guido Fantino and brothers-in-law Claudio and Giorgio Conterno, the domaine helped pioneer the move toward shorter macerations and French oak that reshaped the region's modern style. Vigna Ped is their selection from the celebrated Mosconi vineyard, located in the hamlet of Monforte d'Alba and known for its rich soils and favourable microclimate, which enhance Nebbiolo's varietal character. The wine combines careful grape selection, controlled fermentation and long ageing in wood to develop the complexity and structure that defines the estate's best Barolos — and the certified-organic 2021, drawn from one of the finest recent vintages in Barolo, is widely regarded as the most powerful and concentrated of the Conterno-Fantino single-vineyard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021 E.Pira \u0026amp;Figli Via Nuova\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mcePastedContent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVia Nuova is one of the most distinctive cuvées in the Chiara Boschis range — a deliberate exercise in assemblage that draws on the very best parcels across three of Barolo's finest communes. Via Nuova takes its name from a small vineyard on the edge of the historical centre of Barolo, named for its proximity to the road — new at the time — connecting Barolo to Novello. The 2021 blends fruit from six organic crus across three villages — Terlo and Liste in Barolo, Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi in Monforte d'Alba, and Gabutti and Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba — some 2.5 hectares sitting at 340 metres and facing southeast. After native fermentation in stainless steel with frequent pumping-over and punch-downs, the wine was aged in lightly toasted French oak (30% new) for 24 months, then a further year in bottle before release. The 2021 vintage struck a near-perfect balance between Piedmont's warm climate and the cooling effect of altitude — exactly the conditions this multi-site blend was built to capture. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021 Rocche Costamagna Barolo del Comune di La Morra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mcePastedContent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRocche Costamagna is a family estate with deep roots in La Morra — six generations of winemakers who have worked to raise the quality of their wines over time, enhancing the exceptional terroir of La Morra and making the most of the fruits of the prestigious Rocche dell'Annunziata Barolo cru, cultivated by the same family for over two centuries. The Barolo del Comune di La Morra is the estate's communal-level wine, a broader expression of the commune drawn from across the family's La Morra holdings rather than the single celebrated Rocche dell'Annunziata cru — 100% Nebbiolo, macerated on skins for around three weeks at 27°C and aged 18 months in oak barrels. The 2021 vintage, one of the finest recent years in Barolo, gives the wine real freshness and energy alongside La Morra's signature perfume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mcePastedContent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLuciano Sandrone is one of the most celebrated names of modern Barolo — a producer who, alongside contemporaries like Elio Altare, helped pioneer the move toward shorter macerations and a more polished, internationally admired style in the 1980s, work now carried on by his nephew and niece, Alessia and Stefano, following his passing. Le Vigne is a deliberate exercise in multi-site blending: a wine drawn from Le Costa di Monforte in Monforte d'Alba, Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello — a wide span of fruit across various exposures, elevations and soil types brought together into one wine. In recent vintages there has been a shift toward greater Serralunga and Monforte influence, along with longer ferments, which has transformed Le Vigne into a darker, more sombre wine, while the inclusion of stems in some lots adds an extra aromatic dimension. The 2021 vintage — one of the finest in years for Barolo — has given this perennially excellent blend exceptional material to work with.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Stunned Mullet Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934239178917,"sku":null,"price":1489.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/2021barolo6pack.jpg?v=1782026814","url":"https:\/\/wine.thestunnedmullet.com.au\/products\/barolo-6-pack","provider":"The Stunned Mullet Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
