2010 Barolo Via Nuova, E Pira e Figli, Piedmont
“The 2010 Barolo Via Nuova opens with exquisite inner perfume and sweetness. Crushed rose petals, mint, pine, licorice and sweet red berries all lift out of the glass in a fragrant, aromatically expressive Barolo of the highest level. The 2010 has it all; perfume, fruit, intense crystalline salinity and bracing, chalky, young Nebbiolo tannins that will help the wine age gracefully for years.” Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, 96 points
