Guido Porro is a fourth-generation Barolista, and tradition still runs the show here: Nebbiolo left hanging on clay and limestone until the first autumn fogs roll through, a sign the long season has finally done its work. The 1998 plantings and sustainable farming give the 2018 a classical build. The tannin and structure Barolo is supposed to have, with the fruit and minerality sitting right in the mid-palate rather than shouting over it. This is Nebbiolo made the way it's been made for generations, and it tastes like someone who knows exactly what he's doing.

Tasting Notes

Tradition dictates that Nebbiolo isn’t harvested until it has been kissed by the first fogs of autumn, a sign that the long growing season it needs to ripen fully is finally coming to an end. As a fourth-generation Barolista, Guido Porro is well versed in tradition, and it guides his hand in the vineyard and the cellar. This Barolo comes from the Gianetto cru in Serralunga d’Alba with a prime southeastern exposure to catch the morning sun. The Barolos of Serralunga are renowned for their power and longevity, and while Porro’s Gianetto is not the unyielding, tannic beast of old, it will certainly benefit from a few years in your cellar.
