Barale Fratelli Barolo 2013

Parcels of Barolo comune crus, Monrobiolo, Coste di Rose & Preda (all owned) of various ages to 50 years. Tending to silt/sand and up to 350m with either sth-east or sth-west aspect. A producer's Barolo normale or base ought to be good. This is again, exactly what you're thinking. The three crus, each sitting just above Bussia, do combine in a wine with Barolo & some Monforte personalities. Mainly 'red' in orientation, this is fresh, fleshy, pure and again wonderfully … more

Barale Fratelli Barolo Cannubi 2012

"Everyone who's made their way up to Barolo village on the lower road (via Alba) almost opposite the small park and football pitch, will have seen Barale's historic little piece of the great Cannubi cru. On either side and just behind, are the Cannubi plots of Chiarlo, Cascina Adelaide and Brezza. But it's Barale who are in the parish records here for title to Cannubi from about the late 16th century. I'm prepared that such heritage might bias (my) perceptions … more

Bricco Giubellini Barolo 2013

"Bricco Giubellini is easily the most exciting young Barolo producer I have tasted for some time."

Antonio Galloni

Established in 2000 by Maria Bianucci and Gigi Garanzini, Bricco Giubellini is the highest vineyard in Monforte d’Alba at 530 metres and the smallest single vineyard at just 0.33 hectares. The wines, made by our friend Fabio Fantino, have until recently only been available locally – locally, as in the village of Monforte! We liked the wines so much we bought the … more

Chiara Boschis E. Pira Barolo Mosconi 2011

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2015

The 2011 Barolo Mosconi shows thick lines and dark density with well-defined notes of dried cherry, balsam herb, licorice and dark chocolate. Its consistency is plush and soft, although that characteristic tannic backbone does much to keep the wine tightly stitched together. Barolo Mosconi delivers warm vintage traits on the nose and the textural firmness of a cooler year. The results are unique and compelling. This Barolo ages in oak for two years. - … more

Chiara Boschis E. Pira Barolo Via Nuova 2011

"The 2011 Barolo Via Nuova is once again fabulous. A wine that brings together the very best of the modern and traditional schools, the 2011 is all about balance. Hints of lavender, sage, violets, dark cherries, plums and new leather add nuance in a pure, crystalline Barolo endowed with tons of nuance allied to a vertical sense of structure. The sensual voluptuousness of the vintage softens some of the contours, which only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Although it … more

Conterno Fantino Barolo Mosconi 2011

95+ Points - Antonio Galloni Vinous (2010 Vintage):

"The richest and darkest of these wines, the 2010 Barolo Mosconi is laced with dark cherry, plum, chocolate, menthol, savory herb and clove nuances. The Mosconi is a wine of power, breadth and richness, with tremendous resonance and weight, all qualities typical of this south-facing site in Mosconi. Naturally, the 2010 needs time to fully come together, but today it is striking and impeccable in its balance. The rich, explosive finish makes … more
