With fruit from La Morra, the Bovio 2016 Barolo Rocchettevino shows a soft and silky disposition with an immediate, open-knit texture. Fruit comes from a small, half-hectare vineyard located 400 meters above sea level where nighttime temperatures are cool and breezy. This is the proverbial near-term Barolo that will appeal to those who don't have the patience to wait. Production is small at 2,600 bottles.

Rose, red-berry, crushed mint and truffle aromas lead the nose. It's taut and linear, offering pomegranate, sour cherry and ground clove alongside tight close-grained tannins that give it a firm drying close. Drink after 2026.
