A Barolo shaped by a cooler, more classical year, Feyles Riserva 2014 leans into elegance over power. Nebbiolo here is all dried rose, sour cherry and blood orange, layered with notes of anise, forest floor and gently worn leather.

Time in bottle has coaxed out a graceful, savoury complexity — the tannins finely knit, the acidity bright and purposeful, the finish long and quietly resonant. This is Barolo for those who enjoy nuance, patience and a little understatement.

Decant, serve with something slow-cooked, and let the conversation unfold at its own pace.
