Daily Drinkers from a Piedmont Maestro: GB Burlotto

G.B. Burlotto hails from the small town of Verduno, the northernmost of all the Barolo villages and one of the most dramatic settings throughout the region. The gorgeous old town is perched atop one of the highest hills in the area, from which you can make out the snowcapped Alps in the distance. The high elevation of the vines in Verduno coupled with the northerly, cooler setting provides for wines of finesse, bright acidity and soaring aromatics. The complexity and soul of these wines make them as essential as anything coming out of Piedmont today.

The immense quality on display across the Burlotto stable of wines starts with their exceptional Dolcetto, which can still be had for under $25. The family’s Freisa, Barbera and Langhe Nebbiolo bottlings are reference points for us year after year. The exceptional pedigree of their Barolo is hardly a secret at this point as they are without a doubt one of the hottest Barolo addresses, but you would be foolish to ignore the rest of the wines that emerge from this remarkable property. We get one shot of these “little” Burlotto wines per year – please take advantage while supplies last!
