2012 Barolo Part 2 – The Late Releases
BY ANTONIO GALLONI |
This article covers the late-released 2012 Barolos. I continue to believe that 2012 is a vintage to buy selectively. There are some very pleasant surprises, but, as a whole, the vintage is characterized by highs and lows. Most of these wines were bottled during the summer of 2016 and are just being released now. For more on the vintage, including a summary of growing conditions, readers may want to revisit my article 2012 Barolo: Grace Under Pressure published in March 2016.

Although quality is irregular, the best 2012 Barolos are very much worth seeking out, especially considering that there is not a lot of upward pressure on prices for the vintage at the moment.
