Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 6, 2015 - Gala Dinner at Antonio Galloni's La Festa del Barolo (Four Seasons Restaurant, NYC): Henry brought this and was not happy that it had to follow the 1958 Bartolo, but boy did it hold its own. A stunningly complex nose. Delicious, complex and elegant in the mouth. Wow!

Luca Currado (of Vietti) told me his great grandfather owned the vineyard this was made from, a parcel in Monprivato, but he had to sell it to the church long ago. Sobrero bought it from the church. When Sobrero went out of business, Luca's father tried to buy it back, but Mauro Mascarello outbid him to (almost) complete his ownership of Monprivato.
