Extremely focussed Barolo in a class of its own. Precisely defined fruit notes of wild berries, blackcurrant, rosehip and crushed slate. Firm on the palate with a very well-defined core, softly enveloped and cushioned by a very relaxed texture. Its elegance and extreme length, together with its well-balanced power, put it on a par with the Brunate from the same house. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Barolo Fossati captures all the strong savory and mineral character that is typical of this site. Dried flowers, chalk, mint, white pepper and bright red-toned fruit are all finely delineated. This nervy, sculpted Barolo has a ton to offer. As always, the Fossati is a wine of tension more than volume. That quality is very much on show today." Vinous

"It's dense and closed now, but shows plenty of orange zest, berries, strawberries and floral character. Medium to full body. The tannins are integrated and velvety in texture. Try it after 2027." James Suckling

"Another fundamental cru in the readings and typology of the Chiarlo winery. A nose of finesse, notes of cranberry, then wild mint and nuances of nutmeg. The mouth has salty tannins, density and finesse. It closes with a fruity return and sweet spices." Luca Gardini
