Eredi Lodali Barolo, 2006


The Eredi Lodali estate is located in Teriso, which is in Barbaresco, but it apparently found a good source for the Barolo grapes used to make this wine.

Medium light with the orangeish tints that are the hallmark of traditionally made Barolo. The Barolo scents and flavors are apparent from the time the cork is popped. Cherries, rose petals, tar (or black licorice, if you prefer). Intense flavors from front to back. Lively acids backed by firm, but ripe, tannins. Power, beauty, grip. 

I bought this several years ago on closeout from my local health food store, knowing nothing about Eredi Lodali. With Barolo, I have found, there is little risk involved in trying an unfamiliar label.
