Cascina Bongiovanni 2013 Barolo DOCG Piedmont Italy #96 #WA geographic representation and “Grand Cru”93 Points Vinous "Cascina Bongiovanni's 2013 Barolo is fresh, floral and vibrant, all qualities that make it a good choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, licorice and mint develop beautifully in the glass. The 2013 is delineated and highly expressive in its aromatics. This is a lovely entry level offering that expresses the perfumed, sensual personality of the vintage nicely." 93 Points Wine Spectator
