From: 2021 Barolo Part Two: Restless Energy (Sep 2025)
The 2021 Barolo V.S. Caterina is a rich, expansive wine. Crushed flowers, sweet pipe tobacco, menthol, coffee, licorice and dried herbs all soar from the glass. Medium in body, but also quite plush, the 2021 has so much to offer. It's a wine of pure and total seduction.
- By Antonio Galloni on September 2025
Guido Porro turned out a striking set of 2021 Barolos. In the past I have found the wines often a bit diffuse and lacking focus. Not the 2021s. The wines are deep, layered and super-expressive. Porro’s Barolo Vignarionda is his best yet. Don’t miss it.
