Tasting Notes
Produced from their crus, Cerretta (shared with G Conterno whose Barolo sells at £300 a bottle, compared with Garesio's at £75, and Altare) and the young vines of Bricco delle Viole owned by the famous Vajra, whose Barolo from this vineyard sells at £80 a bottle. Gorgeous aromas of wild rose and notes of wild strawberries, which over time evolve with pink pepper. Very good aromatic persistence in the mouth, and velvety tannins and a very persistent finish. 2022 Was a hot, dry vintage, but early harvesting and careful sorting through the bunches meant the resulting wines were still fresh and withholding good acidity. This will beat you entry level Barolo's hands down.
More Info
It's thanks to our dear friend Nelson Pari that we have to thank for the introduction to Garesio. These are Barolo for the ages. These are like fine, restrained Burgundies, that at first nosing and taste, you could miss, but give them the time they need, and they are glorious, with the classical Serralunga terroir nose of roses and minerals. Sharing vineyards with Giacomo Conterno and Altare, their cellar is located between their two cru sites, Ceretta and Gianetto. They farm organically, but as the sites both border non-organic neighbouring vineyards, they do not declare it. All wines are vinified and aged in the same way so as to best express their identity and terroir.
