Profile

The 2020 Corino Barolo del Comune di La Morra DOCG is a refined expression of Nebbiolo from the esteemed La Morra commune in Piedmont. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, this wine showcases the elegance and depth characteristic of its origin.

On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of cinnamon and smoke, harmoniously intertwined with notes of strawberry and cherry. Subtle hints of mint, oregano, forest floor, and orange zest add layers of intrigue. The palate is velvety, highlighting red fruit flavors, supported by fresh tannins that maintain brightness and lead to a persistent finish. 

Critically acclaimed, the 2020 vintage received a 94-point rating from James Suckling, who described it as "a spiced and savory Barolo with aromas of sour cherries, peach skin, cured meat and hints of dried rose hips," noting its well-formed and delicate palate with a smooth, textured mouthfeel. 

This Barolo pairs excellently with hearty dishes such as game, red meats, and pasta with rich sauces. Its structure and balance suggest it will evolve gracefully over the next decade, making it a worthy addition to any cellar.

Critic awards

Attractive nose with dark cherries and plums as well as hints of chocolate, ground spices and bark with some subtle floral undertones to it. Medium to full body. It’s compact and taut on the palate with polished tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. Focused and long. Try from 2028.

— 94 points, James Suckling
