{"product_id":"comm-g-b-burlotto-barolo-11","title":"2016 Comm. G.B. Burlotto, Barolo - Half Bottle","description":"Fabio Alessandria anchors this Barolo in the traditional practice of communal blending, utilizing gentle cellar techniques like gravity-fed movement and fermentation in open-top oak vats to prioritize aromatic transparency.  The fruit is sourced from a collection of Verduno vineyards—including Breri, Neirane, and Rocche dell’Olmo—where the limestone-rich Sant’Agata fossil marls produce Nebbiolo defined by elegance rather than high-extract power.\n\nFollowing fermentation, the wine undergoes a patient maturation for up to 33 months in large, neutral oak *botti*, a regimen that clarifies the structural lines without masking the site’s mineral detail.  The 2016 vintage, characterized by an exceptionally long growing season and late-autumn harvest, provided the thermal conditions necessary for complete physiological ripeness and high acid retention, resulting in a wine of immense tension and structural longevity.\n\nIn this half-bottle format, the wine’s architecture is defined by fine-grained, persistent tannins and a dense mid-palate that reflects the cool-climate precision of the Verduno sub-region.","brand":"Verity Wine Partners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46147523576056,"sku":"9536","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3271.jpg?v=1772132467","url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/comm-g-b-burlotto-barolo-11","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
