GB Burlotto Barolo Acclivi 2019 is a full-bodied Nebbiolo red wine from the Barolo appellation of northern Italy. Founded in 1850 in the historic Barolo village of Verduno, this iconic Italian winery is named after its founder, Giovan Battista Burlotto. Barolo Acclivi is produced from the steep slopes of the historic vineyards of Verduno, the northernmost municipality of the Barolo area. "Another stunner from this iconic producer, Burlotto’s 2019 Acclivi opens with heady aromas of crushed mint, iris, perfumed berry and Asian spice. Smooth and delicious, the elegant and energized palate delivers juicy cranberry, cherry compote, star anise and blood orange before a tangy mineral finish recalling saline. Firm but refined tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure and balance." Kerin O`Keefe, 2023

The 2019 Barolo Acclivi is a very serious wine in this range. It possesses a gorgeous core and tons of supporting structure. I would give the 2019 at least a few years in bottle, as it really needs that time to release its aromatics. I have seen this wine blossom with cellaring, and imagine that will be the case here as well. Today, the Acclivi is quite closed, but time in the glass releases gorgeous red fruit and blood orange character. Although the Acclivi is not as coveted as the Cannubi or Monvigliero, it is an important wine in its own right, as several recent bottles of the 2006 showed. Think of it like Rousseau's Clos Saint-Jacques relative to the Chambertin and Beze. Antonio Galloni10th January 2023
