Gillardi – Barolo DOCG – 2012 – MG

A decidedly unconventional producer, a Piedmontese with a great passion for the international wine scene, innovation combined with a great love for his terroir this is Giacolino Gillardi. We are in Farigliano where from the early 1980s we began to produce two different sweets but since Giacolino has always loved risk he decides to plant three different international vines: Syrah, Merlot and Grenache surprising everyone with the excellent quality and expressiveness of the wines. Since 2011 the family has started producing Barolo from a few tiny plots in the municipality of La Morra and Barolo. Since 2011, thanks to the collaboration with the Patrito family of Barolo, Giacolino Gillardi has had the opportunity to produce his Barolo, which unlike his other wines, has a decidedly more traditional style. The vineyards used are Vignane and Zuncaie in the municipality of Barolo, from soils rich in sand and clay and from plants with an average age of 40 years a very classic wine is produced, elegance and fruit combine with power and structure offering a Barolo intense that surprises and fully satisfies. 2012, a cooler vintage that gave us great wines played on verticality and slightly rough tannins, but with a pleasant freshness and excellent complexity.
