James Suckling: 98 Points
The purity of fruit and flowers is exceptional with lavender and blue berry aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with ultra-fine tannins and a long and racy finish. Better in four or five years but shows its greatness already. One of the great Brunate’s from here in a long time.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
This wine sees fruit sourced from one of the most distinctive crus in the appellation that is known for elegant and powerful wines. The organic 2019 Barolo Brunate has power and a good amount of brawn, whereas wines from La Morra tend to be softer and silkier overall. This wine, however, shows dark fruit flavors, pretty chalky mineral definition and fragrant iris. Everything is delivered with nuanced intensity.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Beautiful aromas of wild cherry, allspice, fresh leather and flowers gracefully emerge from the glass. The wine delights with mouthwatering acidity and crushed red fruits, like raspberry and strawberry, accompanied by balsamic notes. It has a juicy and round profile, well-integrated and poised for aging.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2019 Barolo Brunate is gorgeus. We have clearly moved from Barbaresco and into Barolo in this tasting. Rich, creamy and inviting, the Brunate possesses gorgeus depth and striking textural resonance. Red fruit, spice, tobacco and cedar open first, followed by a range of savory and floral top notes that extend effortlessly. There's terrific energy and class here.
