This comes from a 1.6-hectare (4-acre) vineyard in Serralunga solely owned by the Doglianis. Floral notes grace the nose, picking up leather and plum flavors. Rich, deep and supple on the palate, this was by far the most impressive of the Batasiolo wines we recently sampled. Aged in barrique. Score - 92. (Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 1, 2006)

Roasted herb, red berry and underbrush aromas come together on this. The tart palate offers sour cherry, strawberry, white pepper and dried sage alongside youthfully austere tannins. Star anise caps the finish. Score - 90. (Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 1, 2016)

This wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks for 18 months. Bussia is well-known for producing balanced, posh Barolo, with soft tannins and enough acidity for the long haul. With over 20 years under its belt, the Bussia Bofani shows a delicate nose of cranberry, toasted nuts, rose petal and menthol.

A longer-than-average growing season for the Boscareto sub-region made for splendid wines from vines planted in marl, clay and limestone. Broad-shouldered but inviting on the palate, this Barolo is sure to dazzle with its hints of dried orange peel, white cherry, potpourri, and worn leather.

Loads of blackberry, mineral, lightly toasted oak and cedar. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a refined finish. Wonderful length and texture. Best after 2008. Score - 91. (winespectator.com, Feb. 28, 2006)

There's fine tension between the sweet cherry and raspberry fruit in this sleek red, with assertive sandpaper tannins. Menthol and tar accents add depth, and this lingers on the long finish. Best from 2015 through 2035. Score - 92. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Dec. 15, 2011)
