Collection: Well Priced Barolo With Age

When it comes to serious Barolo, I love to start opening bottles around 10 years of age. The whole region is now making far more accessible wines than previously, and you can enjoy the wines from the beginning of their lives. Yet for aromatic pleasure and softened tannins, 10 years is a sweet point for attractive development while retaining freshness and verve. We've compiled a list of Barolo in stock with roughly this level of bottle age. It makes for great reading – and even better drinking.

Among the available vintages, the 2013s have always been joyful wines; mid-weight, with sumptuous aromas and gossamer textures. The 2010s, meanwhile, have been less playful and more austere, but they are beginning to display their true majesty today. For producer, choose your preferred style: the elegance and purity of Ceretto; the opulent generosity of Voerzio; or the 'middle way' of Sandrone or Aldo Conterno. The prices are as sharp as we could make them, and the result is considerable pleasure for moderate outlay.
