| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Kvam on 12/17/2022: Tastes directly from bottle.
Intense cherry on the nose, but thankfully more subtle on the tongue.
Super soft tannins for a Barolo. Surprisingly delicate.
After about an hour it changes character. More almonds on the nose. It opens up with more fruit, a strong body, long delicate aftertaste with still the soft tannins.
A very nice Barolo. (731 views) | | | Tasted by vindictive on 9/20/2022: Much more open this time, good structure, dominated by black cherry ( too much for my wife). Not as nuanced as some. Very accessible now but plenty of time. Not the optimal pairing with lamb burgers. Would be better with beef (724 views) | | | Tasted by guitarkim on 9/9/2022 & rated 92 points: Short note
Drunk over two days. Rather available with some air. But have a long life ahead.
Classic nose with sweet cherries, roses, tar and some earthy notes. Full bodied -, with nice acidity and firm tannins. Well structured and concentrated wine. Sweet cherries on the palate with a lingering finish.
92 (94) (724 views) | | | Tasted by Fuel55 on 1/27/2022 & rated 91 points: Very light in color. Sweet cherry fruit dominates with lighter hints of herbs, rose petals and a dash of white pepper. Very young but drinkable with a 2 hour decant. (1236 views) | | | Tasted by wineswithmuscles on 10/25/2021: While the 2015 has a beautiful accessibility today, it shows also a nice finesse for the rather warm vintage. It opens up with a mix of dried berries, cocoa bean and sweet spices, carrying a an underlying sweetness. On the mid palate distinct balsam notes appear. The tannins are fine, integrated and support the overall smooth, rich character. (1143 views) | | | Tasted by vindictive on 1/29/2021: my kind of barolo - delicious, traditional style. It's probably the vintage, but this is is wonderful with proper food. I am sure you can keep this for a long time and it will be great, but excellent now. (1317 views) | | | Tasted by LHH001 on 10/21/2020 & rated 91 points: - Medium forming legs. (1016 views) | | | Tasted by vinsvinet on 4/11/2020 & rated 93 points: Ruby red with a lot of red berries and some earthy notes.
Splendid fruit and juicy, full bodied, ripe tannins. Long.
Very good wine and will improve with age. (1234 views) | | | Tasted by csteenha on 11/10/2019 & rated 92 points: Lys ruby
Primær. Roser, bjørnebær, lakris, mint.
Tørr, medium til høy syre, medium til full body, elegant vin med kraft (delikat, men med punch). Eksplosjon av lakris, roser og bjørnebær i munnen, i en herlig og delikat balanse med syre og pene og dels avslepne tanniner. Lang. Dette er deilige saker. Veldig godt nå, men her tror jeg det er MYE mer kompleksitet å hente ved lagring. Neste flaske om 5+ år. (1478 views) | | | Tasted by Andre Brattland on 9/16/2019 & rated 92 points: The producer previously sold the grapes to the well-known Michele Chiarlo, but has decided to vinify on their own. Smart. Creates only Brunate and very limited number of 6000 bottles.
Richer and more powerful aromas with raw red currant fruit, light animal tone and this pretty tar that seduces. Pretty full-bodied and rich wine that delivers delicious juicy red currant fruit that impresses. Wide and slightly masculine, yet so delicate. Burnt soil, clear deep salts and solid tannins on the long finish. Missing complexity to climb the scale, but this is a very good buy quality vs price! (2106 views) |
| Azienda Agr. Boggione Claudio Producer websiteNebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

Varietal character (Appellation America) | Nebbiolo on CellarTrackerBrunateLocated on the southern border of the La Morra, though part of the vineyard is located in the neighboring commune of Barolo. Among the top vineyards on Piedmonte. As in Burgundy the best vineyards are all sub-divided in to small plots and with fragmented ownership. Consists of Tortonian soil. Typically produces more open, velvety, and plush wines. They are feminine, yet possess considerable structure and concentration.

The wines of Piedmont are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piedmont was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piedmontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power.
