Barolo Fossati

Full

Cork

Fossati is characterised by plenty of sand over compact blue clay, which helps preserve moisture. While ageing is in large casks, this vintage saw about 10% new tonneaux to lend dimension to the fruit. Hints of vanilla poke through, mingling with rooibos tea, carob and strawberry (cooked and fresh). Tight and slightly lean, there is a sparseness to the structure, yet flavours of iron and earth are well entrenched. Just-ripe tannins are amplified by an inner vibration of citrussy acidity, finishing salty. An edgy expression.
