The 2020 Barolo del Comune di La Morra is bright and nicely focused, with tons of La Morra class. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cinnamon and a touch of orange peel all grace this translucent, super-expressive Barolo from Alessandria. There's just a bit of dryness on the finish, but that is a relatively small critique. This is such a classy wine.
