Description
In the late 20th century, G.B. Burlotto was one of the driving forces not just within Italy but around the world. He was the first Barolo producer to sell bottled wine, as it was still common to sell in bulk. While his passing marked a troubled time for the estate, his great-grandson Fabio Alessandria is set on returning the estate to its former great self. The domaine follows quite a traditional approach for Barolo but also incorporates some modernist aspects. The ‘Aves’ is their prestige expression of Barbera d’Alba, with richness and concentration unlike most examples seen from the region. It is aged in a combination of larger Slovenian oak casks and small French barrels for around 18 months before bottling.
