Unfortunately I was only able to taste one 2008 Barolo from Chiarlo this year. The 2008 Barolo Tortoniano is an attractive, mid-weight wine that expresses the personality of the year in its soft, floral red fruit, spices and accessible personality. This mid-weight Barolo should be accessible upon release and drink well for a number of years beyond. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.
