Enzo Boglietti is one of La Morra's most reliable names — a producer who navigates the fine line between Barolo's traditional spine and a modern willingness to let the fruit speak. His La Morra Barolo draws from the commune's famously Tortonian soils, which tend to give a more perfumed, earlier-drinking style than the iron-fisted wines of Serralunga or Castiglione Falletto. That said, this is still Nebbiolo, still Barolo, and still very much a wine that rewards patience.
The 2021 vintage across Piemonte was excellent — warm and dry without tipping into excess, producing wines with genuine concentration and freshness in equal measure. Boglietti's version has the archetypal La Morra character: dried roses, dark cherry, tar, and that unmistakable iron-tinged edge. The tannins are fine but present, and the acidity is bracing in the best possible way.

Vintage report
The 2021 growing season in Piemonte delivered exactly the kind of drama that keeps vignerons on their toes. Spring arrived with a nasty frost in April that had producers lighting fires in their vineyards, followed by a wet period that tested everyone's nerves about disease pressure. Summer brought intense heat and drought that pushed the vines to their limits, but here's the thing about old Nebbiolo vines on those Langhe hills – they know how to dig deep when they need to.
What emerged from all this theatrical weather is a vintage of real substance and character. The Nebbiolos show remarkable concentration – think iron fist in a velvet glove rather than the more immediately charming styles of recent years. Barbera performed brilliantly, delivering wines with bright acidity that cuts through the natural richness, whilst Dolcetto offers more colour and structure than usual. We're finding these wines reward patience; the Barolos and Barbarescos want at least another two years in the cellar to show their best, though the Barberas are drinking beautifully now if you fancy a preview of what this vintage can do.
