2017 | Lodali | Barolo Bricco Ambrogio

Full-bodied and enveloping, this has aromas of underbrush, mature dark-skinned fruit and new leather. On the concentrated palate, velvety tannins surround dried cherry, blood orange, baking spice and tobacco.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This is a mid-weight Nebbiolo that pours from the bottle with a mild ruby color. The Lodali 2017 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is perfumed with rose potpourri and dried lilac on first nose. Those lifted aromas eventually fade to reveal dark fruit, crushed mineral and some lightly toasted spice. Even after the wine has warmed in the glass, those flower aromas remain in pole position. This was a release of 9,300 bottles.

• James Suckling: Loads of dried rose petals in the nose, together with ripe red fruit and a hint of red pepper. Medium-bodied with firm, fruit-coated tannins and a tight bead of fruit through the finish. Subtle, elegant Barolo.

Producer Information

Third generation winemaker Walter Lodali makes his small-production wines from the family vineyards in Langhe, Piedmont. The Lodali story begins with Walter’s father, Giovanni, the son of a contadino (peasant farmer), who, in the 1930’s began to make wine for the customers at his small trattoria in Treiso. After the war, Giovanni built a house with a large wine cellar, creating the roots and hopes for the Lodali family wines. In 1955, Giovanni’s son, Lorenzo, graduated from the oenological school in Alba and brought his expertise to the family wine business. In 1958 Lorenzo, along with his wife Rita, produced Lodali’s first vineyard selection - Barbaresco and Barolo. Lodali wines have gathered acclaim, and in 2017 were recognized in the Decanter World Wine Awards with Platinum, Gold and Bronze medals for their top of the range Lorens labels, named in honour of Walter’s father.
