Il Poeta Barolo Riserva 2009

From an “outstanding vintage” (Decanter), this is a wonderfully mature, rare parcel of 16-year-old Barolo Riserva. It was made at a 4th-generation family cellar and is now showing amazing notes of dried fruits, flora and spice, even freshness.

The Wine
Grape grower Natale Seghesio is known as 'il Poeta' to his friends. Not only for his lyrical compositions (featured on the label), but also for the intense flavour of his grapes grown in the Piedmont hills. Winemaker Paolo Sartirano snaps up Natale's grapes every year, taking them to his family's cellar. Founded in 1871, this cellar is now 150 years old and in the hands of the 4th generation. Paolo has crafted Il Poeta Riserva to be a truly poetical expression of the finest Nebbiolo. Five years ageing in large barrels, the rest in bottle, ensures the fruit marries perfectly with the oak. A Riserva will only ever be made in a top vintage and from the best grapes, so you can be certain of this wine’s great pedigree. Open early and decant.
