"With a small production of just over 1,000 bottles, the Gianni Gagliardo 2016 Barolo Fossati opens to a vivid ruby color with a tight and streamlined mouthfeel. I'm not tasting a big difference between the various vineyard crus in this set of wines, but this expression from La Morra is characteristically softer and silkier in terms of its tannins. The wine also puts forth a bright bouquet of wild cherry, plum, spice, white chocolate and powdered licorice"
