Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: James Suckling
This is racy and fresh with dried strawberries, dark cherries, cocoa and light spices adding a dusty, earthy note to it. Medium- to full-bodied, broad and structured with taut, polished tannins. Yet it’s agile and fleshy with ripe red fruit and subtle chocolate undertones at the end. Long finish. Try after 2027.
About the Producer
The history of the Poderi (estates) Luigi Einaudi started in 1897, when Luigi Einaudi, still only 23 years old, acquired the farmhouse ‘San Giacomo’ in the burgh of Dogliani surrounded by 40 Piedmontese giornate of vineyards (40 acres). The family Einaudi inherited the passion of continuous improvement of their vineyards. Poderi 11 farmhouses in the best position in Dogliani and Barolo, share the total area of the estate that is about 145 hectares, 104 of which are situated in the burgh of Dogliani, 7 in that of Barolo, on the hills of Cannubi and Terlo Vie Nuove, and 3 on the hills of Treiso.
