Crissante Barolo del Comune di La Morra 2020

Crissante Barolo del Comune di La Morra 2020 is a refined expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most admired communes. Sourced in La Morra, it typically shows the elegance, aromatic lift, and silky structure that have made this area historic within Piedmont’s great wine tradition.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a bright garnet color with the translucent clarity typical of Nebbiolo. The nose is likely to offer layers of rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, and subtle spice, with hints of earth and tar emerging with air. On the palate, this Barolo should feel poised and textural, with firm but polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savoury finish. The 2020 vintage should have the balance to age gracefully, developing more complex notes of leather, tobacco, dried flowers, and forest floor over the next decade or more.

Production
Made from Nebbiolo grown in La Morra, the wine benefits from the commune’s well-regarded marl and limestone-rich soils, which tend to produce Barolos of finesse and perfume rather than sheer power. Grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, then vinified with traditional attention to extraction and balance to preserve Nebbiolo’s aromatic detail and natural structure.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for rich Piedmontese dishes such as braised beef, veal stew, mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, and aged cheeses like Castelmagno or Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve at around 16-18°C and consider decanting for at least 1-2 hours if opening young, to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.

Producer
Crissante is a Piedmont-based producer associated with Barolo wines that reflect the character of their specific communes and vineyards. In a region where site and tradition matter enormously, the producer’s focus on Nebbiolo and Barolo places it firmly within one of Italy’s most celebrated fine-wine landscapes.
