Piedmont Report: Checking in on the 2001 Baroli

By

Antonio Galloni

I first reviewed the 2001 Baroli in my journal, Piedmont Report in late 2006. The 2001s have always held special meaning on a personal level because it was one of the first vintages I followed literally from the time the fruit was picked until the wines went into bottle. It was illuminating to go back to the 2001s and see how things were shaping up. I tasted most of these wines during a trip to Piedmont in November 2011, and followed up with subsequent tastings from my cellar in New York.
