Mission Codename Like a Bosio
âIf I didnât work in the cellar? I probably wouldnât know what to do.â â Luca Bosio
Weâve heard rumors of delicious, well-made Barolo under $30. But until now we didnât believe it.
How happy we are to be proven wrong! I mean, we arenât rocket surgeons, but we know a good Barolo when it hits our lips.
91 points, too!! For roughly the price of a Barbera or a lesser Langhe Nebbiolo you can skip straight to the ultimate expression of Piedmont.
In the past Robert Parkerâs Wine Advocate called it âa classic rendition of Nebbioloâ and that is exactly whatâs in your glass. Pure, deep, and balanced. The best part though? Itâs approachability. Normally a variety famous for iron-clad tannins that sometimes need years to come around. All this beauty needs is an hour in the decanter, and youâre good to go. Sweet red berries, dusty chocolate-covered cherries, and baking spices all emerge to coat your palate with pure joy.
A twenty-eight-dollar Barolo?!!! Seriously?
Thereâs no way on earth it will last long. But donât worry, we have another Barolo surprise around the cornerâŠ
91 Points â James Suckling
âFresh raspberries, flowers and walnut shells on the nose, following through to a medium-to full-bodied palate with lightly firm, easygoing tannins and a reasonably long, flavorful finish of fresh fruit. Best from 2023.â
