Gabriele Scaglione | Barolo DOCG 2018 I Magnum

★★★★☆
Rated 4.2 on Vivino

From the hills of La Morra, Gabriele grows the wine of the kings. Hand picked, native yeasts, maceration for about 13 days, traditional aging with 24 months in oak barrels & 1 year in bottle. The result of his maniacal work is a legendary wine that you don’t need to be a king to enjoy. But he will make you feel like one.
