Franco Amoroso Barolo 2020

James Suckling 92 points - Attractive aromas of sour cherries and cranberries with subtle notes of rose hips, dried grapefruit peel and red spices. Medium- to full-bodied, fresh and racy with chalky tannins and a crunchy finish.

The palate is elegant and textured, with notes of minty herbs, soft berries, hints of anise all around a tannic core and balanced by ripe acidity.

The year of the early harvest. Amoroso provides a substantial tannin supply and a substantial acid supply, that is simply the nature of the Nebbiolo grape used. But those bitters and acids are nicely packaged. In dark fruit, laurel liquorice, dark chocolate, jet-black blackberries, shadowed cherries. Also the bitterness of praise. Pleasant, crispy bitter, juicy bitter. Barolo does not bake sweet buns. .
