Fontanafredda: history remade

Fontanafredda: a double vertical of Barolo La Villa and La Rosa 1996–2004.

Barolo 2008: coffee or tea?

Prefer coffee or tea in your Barolo?

Serradenari: Barolo goes sexy

These might well the fruitiest Nebbiolos I’ve ever tasted.

Oddero: please wait

The Barolos of Oddero: mighty beasts for the patient.

Barolo 2008: tannins, tannins, tannins

Halfway through 250 Barolos from the 2008 vintage, the major impression is tannins.

Punset & Ciabot Berton: two verticals

A double vertical of Punset Barbaresco and Ciabot Berton Barolo 1998-2008.

Morassino: serious Barbaresco

Cascina Morassino: 2002–2009 vertical of brilliant (and great value) Barbaresco.

Much sun, no fun

Barbaresco 2009 is not a great vintage. Too little fruit, and no drinking fun.

Nebbiolo Prima 2012

Kicking off Nebbiolo Prima, the new vintage presentation of Barolo & Barbaresco. Make sure you follow my daily updates!

The wines of La Ghersa

La Ghersa: fine wines from Asti. So Barbera can be good?
