Burlotto, Barolo Acclivi, 2006
Nineteen years on, this is library Burlotto in full maturity. G.B. Burlotto is the legendary Verduno estate run by Fabio Alessandria — the great-great-grandson of the founder — and over the past two decades he's quietly reclaimed the domaine's place among Piedmont's elite. Acclivi is Burlotto's multi-cru blend, drawing exclusively from Verduno fruit across the great sites of Monvigliero, Rocche dell'Olmo, Neirane, and Boscatto. Fabio describes Acclivi as the old concept of Barolo Riserva — a selection and blend designed to best represent the vintage rather than a single site. Fermentation is with native yeasts, often with whole-cluster, followed by long macerations and aging in large neutral Slavonian botti. 2006 was a solid classical Barolo year, and nineteen years in bottle have done their work — this is mature Verduno Nebbiolo at its most graceful, with everything resolved into silky harmony.
