With powerful fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the 2015 Barolo Ornato is a plush and dense red wine with a contemporary feel that prizes richness and overall accessibility. There is a level of softness here that permeates the entire wine and adds to the already-intense aromas of red fruit, blackberry, spice, tar, asphalt and candied orange peel. This structured Barolo is best tasted with a platter of Alpine cheeses and jellied honey. Some 13,000 bottles were made.
Pio Boffa and his nephew Cesare Benvenuto purchased vineyards in the Mosconi cru of Monforte d'Alba a few years back. With the 2015 vintage, we get a first taste of their Barolo Mosconi, the newest addition to this estate's portfolio of wines.
