Called “Barolo di Barolo” because the fruit comes from vineyards in the town of Barolo, this is labeling that we’re seeing more of these days. The wine shows some of the best aspects of the good 2018s – lovely light weight, savory and easy drinking, with entrancing citrus, rose, and earthy notes. A wine more on the side of finesse than power, it’s nonetheless complete. It will drink very well now and for the next 10+ years. Jamie Wolff
Barale 2020 Barbera d'Alba Castle
As with the Barale Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, the Barbera could serve as a text-book example of the grape. The 2020 a fine balance between very ripe fruit and very fresh, mouthwatering acidity – deliciously lush, crisp, and mineral all at once, this really outperforms. Jamie Wolff
Barale 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba Le Rose
A lovely light-mid weight Dolcetto, very fresh with good acidity and classically tannic, this combines bright red fruit and savory herbal notes; this will gain complexity with just a little more time in bottle. Jamie Wolff
Baudana / Vajra 2018 Barolo Baudana
I'm looking forward to tasting the 2018 again because a couple of months ago it was a stand-out in a large crowd of bottles, and people. My note - more accurately, my scribble - reads "lovely red cherry and blood orange - a very fresh nose - medium bodied, ripe tannin, a very elegant Serralunga - velvet glove". Make of it what you will - the wine will not disappoint! Jamie Wolff
Bricco Ernesto 2019 Vino Rosso (Nebbiolo - Roero)
100% Nebbiolo. Soil sand 70%, limestone 20%, clay 10%. De-stemmed, quick four day mecaration on the skin before fermentation. Indigenous yeats in a mix of anfora 50% and large barrels 50% for 35 days. Malolactic fermentation in same barrels for 9 months before resting in the bottle for an additional 3 months. No filtration. One of Italy's first certified organic vineyard, in the Roero area of Piemonte in NW Italy.
Cantina del Lupo 2021 Piemonte Grignolino "Grignole"
Very engaging on the nose, like uncovering a bowl of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries while a breeze of light flowers and green grass stirs on a summer afternoon. Really, if the aromatics of this wine don't put a smile on your face, I don't know what will. The color is a translucent rhubarb hue. On the palate, there is vibrant acidity and only a minuscule tannic touch. The fruit on the tongue has more of an edge than it does on the nose, with tangy red cherry and crisp red apple. Edgy but deliciously fresh.
Castello di Verduno 2021 Pelaverga 'Basadone'
Pelaverga grape. Fermentation and maceration for 8 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then refined for 8 months in these same tanks. Finally, it rests in the bottle for 3 months before being released for sale.
Il Sorpasso NV (2019) Vino da Tavola Tachiss
50% Nebbiolo Picotendro and 50% mixed of Neretta, Ner d'Ala, Barbera and Erbaluce. Fermented for one week without temperature control. 20% whole cluster. Maceration after fermentation for 40-50 days.
Negri, Giulia 2019 Barolo Tartufaia
What a change since we last tried this. The richness is all hidden today and this is a decidedly austere and reticent showing, though more complex than last year. Delicate and heathery at first sniff, then the cherry and light raspberry toned fruit slowly emerges, but not with the pronounced impact of last year. A hint of something herbal and fresh emerges on the nose as this rises and falls on the palate, tannins building and fading, definitely tannins that need air to develop. This will need plenty of time in the bottle, though the brisk notes of limestone and red fruited notes on the finish bode well for the future. This marries the austerity and reticence of the vintage, the high altitude nature of the vineyard and Giulia’s elegant touch perfectly. Gregory Dal Piaz, April 2023
Negri, Giulia 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo Pian delle Mole
Delicate and fine aromatics. A touch of a balsamic note on the nose is joined by hints of dried green citron peel layered over lurking red berry fruits. Showing, beautifully in the mouth, pairing clear and delicate red fruit flavors with that savory accent from the nose Delicate tannins early on the palate fade gently into the fruit which shows good persistence. Complex, delicate and nuanced, very Giulia Negri. Gregory Dal Piaz, April 2023
Oddero, Luigi 2015 Barolo Tradizionale
Nebbiolo. Soil Marl & Sandstone. Farming Sustainable. Oak Mixed New/Used French. Aged according to the traditional methods in big barrels in the oldest part of the winery, the walls have more than 300 years, the optimal level of humidity makes it a perfect place for the conservation of the wine and for long aging.
Produttori del Barbaresco 1975 Barbaresco
Brambly black cherry with undertones of black raisin and sweet dirt. Quite developed with secondary/tertiary notes of hoisin, dried mushroom, and dried meat. After 40 years, it still has plenty of structure and only started to reveal itself after being double-decanted eight hours earlier (1/17/17)! Jonas Mendoza
Brachetto grape. Organic certified ICEA. Just after being hand harvested in September, the grapes are selected prior to crushing and they cold steeping for 7 days. Then grapes are gently pressed and they must be clarified and filtered several times. The grape juice obtained is kept in refrigerated tanks until it is processed in the autoclave, to obtain a sparkling wine by means of a controlled temperature fermentation, using selected yeasts. The wine-making technique is the same for all Brachetto wines, even if each of them has individual features due to the different original vineyard of origin.
Sandri, Elio (Cascina Disa) 2020 Barbera d'Alba
Sandri’s Barbera always shows some of the gravitas and depth that his Nebbiolo-based wines carry so gracefully; the 2020 is made friendly with blackberry fruit, delicate rose petal, and a hint of baking spice. Drinkable now, or over the next 10 years. Jamie Wolff
90% Nebbiolo, 10% Vespolina, grown on volcanic, porphyry-rich soil; this is the first year that Villa Guelpa has bottled the wine, from less than an acre of 20 year-old vines. With 15 days of maceration, the wine brilliantly shows off the change of soils, producing a considerably more structured and deeper wine in comparison to the Sizzano. It's got great lift (and modest 13 alcohol) and is heady with classic Nebbiolo aromatics. This must be the most elegant Boca I can recall, with beautiful red fruit and lovely saline minerality, great balance and length. Another stellar wine from Villa Guelpa! Jamie Wolff
70% Nebbiolo with 30% Vespolina (a relation or descendent of Nebbiolo which brings amplified red fruit and spicy / peppery notes to the blend). The soils are allluvial, with large pepples; the vines are 25-40 years old. Grapes are organic, and fermentation is with indigenous yeasts; 12 days of maceration is followed by aging for 24 months in older 20HL Slavoinian botte. This yields a high-toned vibrant wine, with white pepper (from the Vespolina) and red berries, a hint of orange zest and rose - an elegant, complex, and delicious wine. Jamie Wolff
Villa Guelpa 2020 Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo
This is a ridiculously tasty, charming wine - ready (and easy) to drink; I can imagine it slightly chilled, poured with whatever you have on the grill... At 13 alcohol, it's very fresh and bright, with distinct ripe cherry fruit and wild herbs - just plain delicious, beautifully made wine. Jamie Wolff
