Today, Friuli is known mostly for orange wine and Pinot Grigio. But just 20 years ago it was considered the greatest white wine region of Italy and was on the lips of every sommelier.

Simply put, 2021 is shaping up to be a classic Barolo vintage—one that captures everything Nebbiolo lovers hope for. Many are already comparing it to recent greats like 2016 and 2010. While some suggest that it might fall just short of those benchmarks, others believe it could match—or even surpass—the quality of those earlier vintages.
What sets 2021 apart is its combination of structure, elegance, and freshness. Unlike some of the warmer recent vintages, this year reflects a return to traditional Barolo: beautifully defined tannins, bright acidity, and delicate yet powerful aromatics. It’s a vintage where entry-level Barolos (the normales) will offer early appeal and will reward mid-term aging, while the top bottlings have the potential to age effortlessly for decades.
