Bel Colle Riserva 10 Anni Barolo 2013 Review

If you want to try an aged Barolo but aren't sure if you can afford it, look no further than Bel Colle. The name, which translates to beautiful hill, is a reference to the stunning vineyards in Barolo's Verduno region that the Nebbiolo grapes for this wine are sourced from. Winery director Luca Bosio and Mario Albrito coax the wine into an expressive, age-worthy expression. It has beautiful aromas of rose petals and leather with hints of ripe cranberries and earth. The palate is expertly balanced with well-integrated tannins and elegant fruit supported by an even acidity. This wine has seen over a decade of aging and is a wonderful representation of the joy that can be found in a bottle of Barolo. And for just over 60 dollars, it's a must-buy.
