Mirafiore Barolo 2021

2021 is one of the greatest Barolo vintages ever. A landmark year, fuller than 2019 and more accessible than 2020 and many say reminiscent of the classic 1985 vintage. Decanter calls 2021 ‘a modren benchmark. Parker gave the vintage 97pts which is the 2nd highest ever in the last thirty years. The Wine Spectator gave the vintage 98pts which is the highest they have ever rated a Piedmont vintage calling it a classic year. Mirafiore was founded in 1858 by Emanuele Mirafiore, son of Italy’s King Vittorio Emanuele II. It helped cement Barolo’s enduring nickname: the King of Wines, the Wine of Kings. Today, under visionary owner Oscar Farinetti (the brains behind Eataly), Mirafiore remains a guardian of Piedmont’s timeless traditions. Winemaker is Danilo Drocco also makes Fontanafreda and Nino Negri.

Unveils layers of dried rose, tar, and red cherry, framed by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. A compelling expression of tradition and terroir, poised for cellaring or savoring now.
Cherries, dried flowers, cedar and orange rind. The medium- to full-bodied palate is juicy and succulent, lifted and defined by fine-grained tannins. Savory finish. Drink or hold.
The results of lengthy ageing, above-all on account of their natural qualities, these robust, well-bodied wines are packed with structure and are well capable of withstanding the test of time. Barolo has an attractive ruby-red color with garnet highlights which become orange with the passing of time. Its bouquet is clean, full and intense, with the wine’s typical traces of withered flowers, dry leaves and underbrush.
