Vietti Barolo Ravera Novello 2014

Another highlight in this range, the 2014 Barolo Ravera opens with the most exquisite, captivating aromatics imaginable. It will be interesting to see if it develops a bit more midpalate depth and pliancy. Today, the 2014 is a bit austere, even within the context of the year and this site, where the wines are a bit on the nervous side to start. I have seen Vietti Raveras blossom into spectacular wines and imagine that will be the case here as … more

One of the most historic and important vineyards in Barolo, Monprivato is solely owned by the Mascarello family.

Azienda Agricola Giovanni Sordo Barolo Gabutti 2015 Magnum

No chance to mistake this, with its abundance of darker things; stock, porcini, graphite, smoke and black cherry. Under this very typical Serralunga 'tarry/earthy' mantle though, are other complexities of dried roses, orange and spices. The firm and enlivening structure of a great Serralunga is here to underpin all this. Strong black tea tannins at present. All components are here.

Poderi Colla Barbaresco Roncaglie 2013 Magnum

'Poderi Colla's 2013 Barbaresco Roncaglie is striking. Rich, deep and beautifully layered, the 2013 possesses striking depth and nuance throughout. This is one of the more powerful, structured 2013 Barbarescos readers will come across, so patience is key. Sweet tobacco, exotic spices, dried flowers and menthol give the wine an attractive upper register, but there is no shortage of structure or depth. The 2013 should be terrific with another few years in bottle.' 93+ Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Vietti Barolo Castiglione DOCG 2015 Magnum

'Vietti's 2015 Barolo Castiglione is soft, silky and pliant, all qualities that make it a good choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. Floral and nicely lifted, the 2015 is very pretty, if not quite the overachiever it can be. I expect the 2015 will be even more expressive once the tannins soften a bit further. In this tasting, the Castiglione stands out for its freshness and energy. Time in the glass brings out an extra … more

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello 2012

Brooding Nebbiolo fruit rests on a bed of underbrush, smoky minerals, warm cigar wrapper, Christmas cake and herbs in this warm weather 2012 Barolo Colonello. This intense wine oozes across the palate, powered by thrumming acidity and scattering chewy tannins as it builds to a lingering, herbal finish. Made from grapes grown on 40 to 45-year-old vines, the third "cru" from Bussia Soprana, the gracious Colonnello is the deepest in color and consistently the most approachable of Aldo Conterno’s single-vineyard … more
