The 2013 Vigna Mandorlo Barolo is a wonderful showing from Giacosa Fratelli in this vintage. As this opens aromatics of fresh strawberries and cassis begin to take shape along side spices, minerals, licorice and hints of herbs. This beautifully structured Barolo is balanced and focused, with a gorgeous velvety texture backed by sweet red fruits, spices and minerals, which continue to expand on to the long, pretty finish. While impressive now, this will only become more appealing with a few more years of bottle age. (Best 2019-2030) - July, 2017 (JD)
