WHAT: Barolo Vinum Vitae Est 2006 (red) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Piedmont, Italy
WHY: This is just about the cheapest Barolo you can find at the LCBO and a real deal. While it doesn’t scream Nebbiolo, the grape that Barolo is made from, it still delivers subtle fruit flavours encoded in the wine’s structural elements of acidity and tannins. Good luck finding it. Vinum Vita Est is almost invisible on the label. Worth the effort, though, especially at $2 off the regular price.
PRICE: 750 ml/$22.80 until April 1
AVAILABILITY: At selected liquor stores (product #264333)
