The 2020 Cantina D'Arcy Barolo Preda marks the inaugural vintage for Cantina D'Arcy, crafted by Tom Myers from an 8500m2 parcel in the esteemed Preda cru, nestled between Cannubi, Vignane, and Monrobiolo di Bussia. This Barolo is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, with a significant portion coming from old vines planted in 1949. The 2020 Barolo vintage is characterized by its charm, excellent fruit quality, and clarity, offering fine-grained, silky tannins, mouth-watering acidity, and vivid fruit. It's considered a vintage that can be approached relatively early, yet possesses the structure to age for 20 years or more, with peak drinking anticipated after about 12 years. 【This 2020 Barolo is noted for being the best Barolo vintage that can be drunk the soonest in at least a decade, offering a seductive and utterly compelling experience.】 Tasting notes reveal a wine that is more fruity than floral on the nose, with red and yellow fruit notes like passion fruit and mango, alongside some savoriness and umami. It presents a plush texture with a kiss of oak, making it seductive and a crowd-pleaser. The palate is finessed for a young Barolo, with intense red cherry, sweet spice, anise, and florals. Food pairing suggestions include roast white meats, braised dishes, red sauce pasta, gamey meats, and steak. This wine is perfect for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion with friends, or a sophisticated gathering where a charming and approachable yet age-worthy Barolo is desired.
