Gianfranco Bovio De-Rieumes Barolo Riserva DOCG, Italy 2016 IGP Ile de Beaute It opens with enticing aromasOnly made in the best vintages, the Bovio 2016 Barolo Riserva De Rieumes is a blend of fruit from two MGA sites in La Morra, Gattera and Arborina. This classic vintage shows beautifully right now with sharp contours and a very bright and vibrant quality of fruit. There is wild cherry, cassis, crushed stone, smoky tar and black licorice. This elegant wine is built for the long haul. 95 Pts Monica Larner, Robert Parker
