I don't want to hear anymore \"Barolo is only meant for aging\" BS—that's an outdated mindset not reflective of modern vintages nor of what Piemontese restaurants offer diners. Get with the times, man, and enjoy this gift to all to Nebbiolo fans.\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAs Giuseppe Vajra describes it, \"a traditional Barolo about harmony and drinkability\" and \"a Barolo of the people.\" Drink more Barolo, starting with this! -Marcus (pictured below, in the village of Barolo)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5679\/files\/IMG_7179.jpg?v=1763760762\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"G.D.
