Cantine Povero Priore Barolo (2021)

Cantine Povero is a family-owned winery in Piedmont, Italy, with roots dating back to 1837. Nestled between the renowned regions of Roero, Langhe, and Monferrato, the Povero family combines generations of winemaking tradition with a deep commitment to sustainability and organic farming. Today, their vineyards produce expressive, terroir-driven wines that showcase the character of Piedmont's classic grape varieties, from Barbera and Nebbiolo to Arneis and Moscato. With a focus on authenticity, environmental stewardship, and approachable quality, Cantine Povero crafts wines that honor both their heritage and the land they call home.

Known as the king of wines and wine of kings, Barolo is the Nebbiolo-based wine par excellence. Priore is an energetic and prestigious Barolo. The color is an intense garnet red, while the elegant bouquet balances the powerful tannins and brisk acidity of the palate. It showcases notes of violet, cassis, wild rose, cinnamon, anise, leather, and goudron. You can also find reminiscences of the Langhe region, such as truffles, dried mushrooms, and hazelnuts. The palate is warm, dry, earthy, and full.
