“Aromas of dried cherries, red spices, aged citrus peel and moist bark. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins and a velvety texture. A little earthy at the end, with hints of bitter spices to close. Better after 2026.”

“A shocking bargain in Barolo under $40, the Covalli Barolo is red-fruited, fresh and undeniably delicious. Aromas of dried violets turned earth and a smoky clove spice complements dried figs. Plums, figs and delicious savoury spices mingle together on the palate. It shows an immediacy of fruit, but as a Barolo, there is plenty to suggest ageability and longevity here.”

“Fruity and spicy wine with strawberries and licorice. Juicy acidity with light to medium body, chewy tannins and a youthful, polished finish. Drink or hold.”
— J.S.
