Adhering to Barolo's historic tradition, the Gianni Gagliardo Barolo Preve 2017 was aged for 24 months in traditional Slavonian oak casks, to draw out the wine's innate complexity and richness. This world-class wine achieves a remarkable balance between raw earthly intensity and silky smoothness, leaving an unforgettable lingering aftertaste of timeless excellence.

Canonica's 2017 Barolo Paiagallo is an exotic, utterly beguiling wine. Crushed red berry, blood orange, mint, rose petal and cinnamon give this effusive, mid-weight Barolo its exotic, alluring personality. There's plenty of tannin lurking beneath. A few years of cellaring are advisable. This flamboyant, attractive Barolo is pretty impossible to resist now, though. Canonica works out of a tiny cellar in the historic center of Barolo that has just enough space for the barest essentials. The wines are always unique and idiosyncratic.

The 2017 Barolo Giachini shows its typical pliant personality, but in a more restrained style than is typical. Ripe red berry fruit, cedar, dried flowers, mint and spice fill out its mid-weight frame nicely. There is lovely depth here, if a bit less mid-palate creaminess than in most years. That, in turn, makes the tannins stick out a bit.

The 2017 Barolo Bricat is delicate, understated and very pretty. A quiet wine, the Bricat offers lovely mid-palate pliancy and depth. The tannins need to soften a bit, but that should not be an issue in another few years' time. Sweet red berry fruit pomegranate and spice nuances flesh out nicely. This soft Barolo is not an obvious wine, but it will delight readers who appreciate finesse. I very much like the brightness and floral lift here.

The 2017 Barolo Castelletto captures all of the savory and mineral complexity of this high-altitude site. Ethereal and gracious, the Castelletto has so much to offer. Pine, mint, blood orange, crushed raspberry and star anise are all finely sculpted throughout. This is one of the best Barolos I have ever tasted from Manzone. Don't miss it.

The 2017 Barolo Gramolere is broad and ample, yet retains the gracious style that is typical of the Manzone Barolos these days. The fruit profile is a bit darker, though, and there is a bit more of an oak imprint. Black cherry, new leather, menthol and spice all meld together effortlessly as the 2017 blossoms with a touch of aeration.

The 2017 Barolo Cerretta is a dark, ample wine. Black cherry, smoke, leather, licorice and incense lend gravitas to this decidedly brooding, potent Barolo. I would give the 2017 at least a few years in bottle, as the tannins are pretty imposing today.

The 21017 Barolo Serra is bright, nervy and full of energy. Readers will find a Serralunga Barolo built more on persistence than heft, not a bad thing for a village where the wines can be quite big. Chalk, white pepper, orange zest and spice give the Serra its characteristic brightness.

The 2017 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is loaded with savory and earthy accents that complement a dark expression of Nebbiolo. Black cherry, leather, game, smoke, tobacco and licorice build nicely in the glass. A year or two should help soften the Serralunga tannins.
