Ca' Rome' Barolo Rapet 2016

Piedmont, Italy Wine Spectator 93 points! Ca’ Rome’ Barolo Rapet is a beautiful expression of the Nebbiolo grape from a wonderful vintage in Piedmont. CA’ ROME’ was established in 1980 by Romano Marengo, a simple, honest man with a great passion for wine, grapevines and his native land. This family-run winery is the realization of one his biggest dreams: after spending thirty years working in the wine industry, his dream became a reality he now shares with his children Giuseppe (known as Pino), Paola, and Maria as well as his wife Olimpia. 100% Nebbiolo, Ca’ Rome’ Barolo Rapet is intense garnet red with ruby reflections. Fruity aromas with floral and spicy notes. Intense flavor with opulent and enveloping tannins and a long finish. Aged 24 months partly in 25-hl Slavonian oak barrels and partly in French barrique. Further aged in bottle for at least 12 months. “An enticing combination of rose, strawberry, cherry and currant fruit are the hallmarks of this Barolo, plus savory elements of wild thyme, broom and fennel. Sleek and firmly structured, with dense, dusty tannins. Best from 2023 through 2045. 150 cases imported.”—Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 93 points!
