CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Barolo Albe is a nuanced, understated wine, but it is also a rare Albe that needs time in bottle. Sweet floral and spice notes open first, leading to an attractive core of Nebbiolo fruit. Gentle and understated, with lovely precision, the 2019 Albe is a hushed wine that is more about energy than size. I have seen the Albe really blossom with a few years in bottle. I expect that will be the case here as well given its super-classic feel.

A very cloudy month of August resulted in only 14% alcohol and higher acidity because the lack of solar radiation, meaning lower temperatures on canopy and fruit and a slower breakdown of acids. Pale ruby with barest hint of garnet. Very classic, lightly irony, rose-y nose with a vein of iron clay. Red fruit. Lightly sandy, sticky tannins, with a bit of figgy-ness on the mid palate and a dry, savoury finish. Firm acidity. (SCJ)
