Lapo Berti, Barolo Fossati, 2021
A young grower's bet on a classical Barolo cru. Lapo Berti planted his flag in La Morra in 2012, leasing parcels in three of the commune's most pedigreed MGAs - Fossati, Bricco Rocca, and Serradenari - and farming them himself. Fossati sits on the western side of La Morra, an east-facing site of sandy, iron-rich marl that has long been prized for its blend of finesse and weight. The 2021 vintage delivered a cool, classical growing season, the kind of year that rewards traditional handling with fragrance and tension. Berti's approach - organic farming, low yields, hands-off cellar work - lets the cru speak in its native dialect. This is Barolo for those who chase perfume over power.
