G.B. Burlotto Barolo 'Acclivi' DOCG 2016
Vintage Character
2016 G.B. Burlotto Barolo 'Acclivi' DOCG is a Barolo drawn from Verduno in the appellation’s northern sector, where Nebbiolo often shows exceptional fragrance and finesse. Widely regarded as an outstanding vintage in Barolo, 2016 combined a long, even growing season with slow ripening, yielding wines of depth, precision, and firm but refined structure. 'Acclivi,' meaning slopes, is assembled from hillside sites in Verduno, and that village’s mix of calcareous marl and elevated, ventilated exposures helps shape a style prized for lifted aromatics, tensile acidity, and graceful tannins rather than sheer mass.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The 2016 release earned 96 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, a fitting marker for a wine that marries nuance with authority. The nose opens with rose petal, wild strawberry, red cherry, and blood orange, followed by anise, crushed herbs, and a subtle tarry note. On the palate it is full-bodied yet finely etched, with silky intensity, savory mineral drive, and persistent tannins carrying a long, floral-spiced finish. Pair it with porcini risotto, roast duck with herbs, or pappardelle with rabbit ragù.
Winery Background
Comm. G.B. Burlotto is one of Barolo’s historic names, founded in Verduno in the nineteenth century by Giovan Battista Burlotto, an early champion of estate bottling and a supplier to the House of Savoy. Today Fabio Alessandria continues that legacy with a deeply traditional approach that favors site expression and aromatic transparency. Farming is meticulous and harvesting by hand, while cellar work relies on classic methods, including extended maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak casks rather than small barriques. That combination of heritage, restraint, and Verduno character makes Burlotto a benchmark for elegant, soulful Barolo.
