More wine from our old friend, including a great range from one of our particular old-Barolo-favorites, Cordero di Montezemolo. To say nothing about other especially good wine from Barale, Cappellano, Ceretto... and Brezza...
Canale, by the way, was the owner of a prime piece of Collina Rionda (now the property of Giovanni Rosso), which was the source of Giacosa's Collina Rionda. The Canale on offer (second from right in the photo below) is not vineyard-designated, and I cannot find a clear reference to when Canale first made a Rionda-labeled bottling. Nonetheless, an interesting bottle, and a rarity that presents me with the wine merchant's dilemma: we're not supposed to just keep everything we'd like to taste! Jamie Wolff
Truffle and tar and a surprising rush of raspberry jam on the nose. Very high toned in the mouth — this needs food — but over time the wine is taking on weight and complexity. JW
Cappellano 1973 Barolo (bottled for Troglia)
Troglia was a wine merchant in Torino. We've had Cappellano Barolo bottled for Troglia back to 1954, and they certainly did a good job of it, using the funky, misshapen bottle associated with Gattinara.
Cavallotto 1975 Barolo Bricco Boschis
"You are in Piedmont, at the extreme northwest of of Italy, at the farm of Bricco Boschis of the brothers Olivio and Gildo Cavallotto. With a great many years of experience, the fields have been classified according to their composition and to identify their ideal purposes. The wines they produce, very rich in finesse and fruit are the result of patient attention and care devoted to the vines and in the cellar."
"Name utilized up through the 2001 vintage by the Ceretto winery for a single-vineyard Barolo produced from the grapes of the Gabutti MGA. It refers to a parcel situated in the highest part of the cru, bordering on Parafada. The grapes are currently used in the blend of the regular Barolo of the house." (from "Barolo MGA" by Alessandro Masnaghetti)
Cordero di Montezemolo 1971 Barolo Monfalletto
A consistently excellent wine — we've been lucky to get to taste this several times in the last few years. It needs a lot of time to breathe, and then it provides a classic example of fully mature Nebbiolo. Jamie Wolff
Cordero di Montezemolo 1982 Barolo Monfalletto
Old Cordero Barolo is great wine (recent vintages are in a fairly heavy, oaky style that we don't love so much, but the old stuff...). A couple of years ago we had several cases of this wine, which afforded multiple tasting opportunities; at this price the wine is a steal.
