The impression of sipping this wine is a true delight. It's a testament to the passage of time that it's still enjoyable, even after nearly 50 years. The soft fruit suggestions and refined tannins make it a pleasure to drink. It's a fantastic treat, and I'm glad I can indulge in it.

Producer I've never heard of. Expected nothing and got a remarkable experience. Powerful intense fruit, seductive chocolate, fresh spice, milky cream. Banana... perhaps a clever marketing ploy or a genuine distinguished Barolo. I'm impressed by the quality of this wine. Thank you, Giorgio, for this generous gift.

Luigi Calissano & Figli Barolo Riserva Speciale is praised for its rich fruit flavors, refined tannins, and complex finish. While some find it a delightful testament to aging, others are impressed by its intense fruit and spice notes. The wine offers a silky texture and earthy undertones, though a few find it merely good. Overall, it's a well-regarded choice for those appreciating aged Barolo.
This Barolo Riserva Speciale presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its maturity and depth. The nose unfolds with a symphony of dried rose petals, black cherry, and anise, underscored by a subtle hint of earthy truffle. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure with firm, yet refined tannins that are seamlessly integrated with its vibrant acidity. The mid-palate showcases layers of dark plum and licorice, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with whispers of cedar and spice. This wine exemplifies the classic elegance and complexity of a well-crafted Barolo, promising further evolution with cellaring.
