G. B. Burlotto Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy 2024

G. B. Burlotto is a historic Verduno based Barolo producer working in a firmly traditional style, led today by Fabio Alessandria. Fermentations are typically carried out with native yeasts, including the estate’s notable use of whole-cluster fermentation, followed by long macerations and aging in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks. The wines are defined by low extraction, high toned aromatics, and fine-grained tannins, emphasizing site transparency and lift over structure and weight.
