Malvira Barolo DOCG Boiolo
Still a rather youthful deep ruby color in the glass. A light to medium intensity on the nose with red plum preserve, taffy, floral, mushroom, chestnut and horse/game elements; a light coppery note is starting to show. A softer than medium acidity on the palate, it is dry, with a medium extract, medium-fine powdery tannins and a resulting medium body. It has a nice plump mouthfeel, a lovely length and persistence of red fruit preserve, mushroom, chestnut and clay brick powdery notes on a long finish. Feels quite relaxed on the palate. Drink now over the next two years.–IR
Malvira Barolo DOCG Boiolo
A deep garnet ruby hue here. It opens with light- to medium-intensity aromas of iron filings/copper, red fruit reduction, earth/peat, roasted beet and clay bricks. The palate shows a low but adequate acidity. It is dry, has a medium-plus extract and tannins – fine and powdery and a mediumplus body. It has a nice length and a medium fruit intensity with copper and Cornelian cherry jam; a bit peaty and medicinal with a medium-plus finish and lasting tannins. Starting to show the clear signs of full maturity. Drink now.–IR
Malvira Barolo DOCG Boiolo
Deep garnet ruby in the glass. Definite medium intensity aromatics on the nose with lifted aromas of fleshy red plum, sour black cherry, mushroom, taffy and tar. A shade less than a medium, supportive acidity, it is dry on the palate with a medium extract, medium-plus fine tannins, a medium-plus body and a plump mouthfeel. They are followed by a lovely persistence and length with plum, mushrooms, taffy and floral notes towards a medium-plus finish. 2024-2030–IR
Malvira Barolo DOCG Boiolo
According to Patrizia Damonte, the 2016 Malvirà Barolo Boiolo is hard to find on the market due to the international press received for this highly acclaimed vintage. A masterfully made Barolo with a classic bouquet of rose, cranberry, raspberry, tea, leather and wood. This wine remains youthful and firm on the palate with flavours of raspberry, cranberry, strawberry, tea and leather. 2024-2034–LW
Malvira Barolo DOCG Boiolo
A deep garnet ruby appearance. It has clear, medium-intensity aromas of red fleshy fruit – plum and cherry, taffy and tar. With a lower-end of medium acidity on the palate, it is dry with a medium extract, medium plus medium-grained tannins and a medium-plus body. It displays a nice length and a medium persistence of plum/cherry, tar, taffy and a medium-plus, powdery tannins finish. 2024-2026–IR
Malvira Barolo DOCG Boiolo
The 2018 Malvirà Barolo Boiolo still needs more time in the cellar to mature and develop, but an early taste shows a bright future for this showstopper. The bouquet is woven with the scent of plum, red cherry, cured meat and smoky barrel while flavours of spiced red berry, tea and leather fill the palate. Sturdy well-polished tannins stand guard and will require a few more years to soften and integrate. 2025–2040–LW
