2023 G.B. Burlotto Barbera d'Alba Piedmont

Winemaker Notes:  In a relatively short period of time, the G.B. Burlotto winery has risen to a position of absolute prominence in the panorama of Italy’s best wineries. In fact, G.B. Burlotto’s wines were always recognized as being of very high quality, and have always been rather famous, but clearly the advent of Fabio Alessandria at the winemaking helm has helped catapult the winery to even greater fame.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2023 Barbera d'Alba is another fine entry-level offering from Burlotto. In 2023, Fabio Alessandria did not feel the Aves, his top Barbera, was materially different from this, the straight bottling, so he blended all the fruit together. Consequently, the Barbera has a bit more fruit density and a touch of oak influence (from new casks) that it does not usually have. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, cedar and rose petal build nicely in the glass."
