The 2015 Barolo vintage is widely considered to be a fantastic year for Barolo, earning a reputation as a classic vintage with wines that show both power and elegance. The growing season in 2015 was very favorable for Nebbiolo, with warm temperatures, dry conditions, and an early harvest that allowed the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness. This vintage has received high praise from critics and winemakers alike for its complexity, concentration, and aging potential.
