Ellena Giuseppe Barolo La Morra DOCG 2018

"Here's a great value for Nebbiolo watchers.''  Wine Advocate Magazine

"Here's a great value for Nebbiolo watchers. The Ellena Giuseppe Barolo displays soft tannins, bright fruit flavors and balanced acidity. The bouquet is redolent of wild berry, cassis, tilled earth and blue flower.'' Wine Advocate Magazine

"Aromatic, offering floral, licorice and spice notes surrounding a core of cherry. The fruit is more prominent on the palate, where accents of mint and leather also peek through. On the elegant side, with fine balance and length.'' Wine Spectator Magazine

”Bright red fruit with tinges of violets, tobacco and citrus rind. Medium-bodied with lightly chewy tannins, bright acidity and more orange rind and a twist of nutty vanilla right at the end. Traditional feel to this. Tasty, too.” James Suckling 

Generally harvested in the middle of October, the fruit is wild fermented with 60 days maceration on skins with frequent early punch downs. Malolactic fermentation and maturation is in barriques for 30-months before bottling without filtration. Perfect balance of fruit and tannin, the hallmarks of a great wine.
