Fogliati Treturne, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2018 Case (6x750ml) Solo Contigo Not showing quite as well

Not showing quite as well as it did at a château vertical last year

crystalline and complex bouquet with lovely ripe and intense fruit aromas and more flinty-mineral notes than the regular Spätlese

Granite and ash undertones

Medium-bodied yet intense and tight on the chalky-textured palate this is a very delicate pure lean fresh and elegant but also firmly structured and persistently mineral Blanc de Blancs

featuring citrus and mineral notes

Fogliati Treturne, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2018 Case (6x750ml) Solo Contigo Not showing quite as wellJust mid ruby. Lifted and earthy with brooding spice notes, it does recall a bit of the spiciness of Bussia (source of the grapes, apparently, but not confirmed). Minerally too. Laser sharp focus on the palate. Not enormously concentrated but elegant and fragrant and with a layer of very fine tannins.
