“Silver Label” Barolo 2015 90 BB YBB W&S Dec19

YEAR’S BEST BAROLO; BEST BUY; Fontanafredda’s “Silver Label” is a blend of grapes from all 11 communes of Barolo. The 2015 is fresh and lively in the context of the warm vintage, with flavors of red cherry, pomegranate and orange peel framed by light, raspy tannins. With its medium weight, it’s ready to drink now, and it’s well priced for by-the-glass programs. – S.J.
