WHAT: Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga d’Alba 2005 (red) Rating: NNNN
WHERE: Piedmonte, Italy
WHY: Dang. Sometimes good wine is expensive, but this less-is-less 500ml Goldilocks-sized bottle hailing from esteemed Serralunga vineyards makes the LCBO’s income redistribution program a little easier to swallow. Literally. Classic Barolo rose petal puts in a discreet but alluring bouquet appearance followed by a Marcello Mastroianni combination of seriousness and likeability. 812 out of 10.
PRICE: 500 ml/$27.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets (product #173195)
