About this wine:Terroir: The Ca Bianca Barolo is sourced from Nebbiolo from low-yielding vines planted at high density. The vineyards are situated on a east/southeast facing slope at 950 feet in elevation with primary soils of composite and clay.
Vinification: Grapes are sorted and macerated at cool temperatures prior to vinification in stainless steel. Following fermentation the young wines are aged in a combination of large Slovenian oak cask and new and used French barrels for a period of 20 months.
Tasting Notes:Garnet color tending towards strong blue; intense and ethereal bouquet of vanilla, cloves and clean woodland undergrowth; full, firm but velvety flavor with a fine, very lingering aftertaste of liquorice and ripe red fruits.
Ratings & Reviews
93 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"This generous Barolo delivers ample flesh, coruscated by cherry, balsamic and licorice flavors. Juicy, with the ripe sweetness extending through the finish. Shows fine harmony and length. Best from 2014 through 2033. 200 cases imported." –BS (Nov 30, 2011)
90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Dec 2010):
"The 2006 Barolo from Ca’ Bianca is an attractive, mid-weight effort laced with dried cherries, flowers and licorice. This shows quite a bit of density on the palate, with terrific depth in the fruit that carries through to the long, powerful finish. This is a surprisingly rich style for La Morra, but very nicely done. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021." - Antonio Galloni (Dec 2010)
