The Nebbiolo grapes for Matteo's entry-level Barolo (formerly blue label) come from his three vineyards Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Verduno. His style is characterised by a skilful balance between structural depth and accessibility. Brilliant ruby colour with a lively shimmer in the glass. The nose is elegant and multifaceted: wild berries, rose petals, aniseed and a fine herbal note interweave with a delicate undertone of mineral freshness. The tannin structure appears finely integrated in the mouth; clearly defined fruit and present, invigorating acidity characterise the first impression. The finish shows salty residues and an attractive length – elegant, powerful and stylish. This Barolo is a very successful introduction to the region, accessible enough to be enjoyed young, but open to time and ageing. It exemplifies a modern interpretation of the Barolo narrative: without much pathos, but with depth and origin. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Barolo is a gorgeous entry-level offering from Matteo Ascheri. Bright acids and persistent tannins immediately announce a serious Barolo that needs a few years to unwind. Expressive floral and savory notes lead into a core of vibrant red-toned fruits. This is a terrific wine." Vinous

"The wine has quite a chalky quality that you can perceive with all your senses, especially on the nose. I would add cocktail cherry and cassis to that. I'm reminded of the Jolly Rancher sweets we used to eat as children. The wine is generous, bright and accessible." Wine Advocate
