Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 5 notes) | |
| Tasted by freek on 5/31/2009 & rated 91 points: Great wine, but a think that bad storage has caused a quick ripening. Nice hints of balsamico, mushrooms and black fruit. 91/100 (327 views) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 1/29/2009: Much more tannic than the Fiasc. This will be very good but needs a bit more time. Give it a few more years. B+/A- (404 views) | |
| Tasted by tanglenet on 11/18/2007: Took to Postino's in Lafayette for a friend's birthday. Opened and decanted. A little mustiness that blew off pretty quick. Accessible almost immediately with a round mouth filling fruit comprising flowers and plums. Nice finish. Not a show stopper but a solid wine. Good. (826 views) | |
| Tasted by Vinho on 9/5/2007 & rated 89 points: Provado às cegas até a penúltima taça. NM. Rubi-violáceo, límpido e brilhante. Aromas marcantes de framboesa, fruta madura e em confeito, ligeiro floral. Em boca, taninos numerosos mas muito macios, textura sedosa, boa acidez e... quase nenhuma tipicidade. Completamente acessível já, o que é incomum para Barolo. Parece não ser o mesmo vinho que recebeu 94pts do Tanzer e 91-93pts do Parker, especialmente pelas descritivas ("full throttle, elegant, pure, classic Barolo"). Às cegas pareceu-me um vinho moderno feito em território europeu, só no final arrisquei dizer que poderia ser um Barolo ultra-moderno, mais por fatores externos do que pelas características do vinho. Decepcionante a falta de tipicidade -- ou, quem sabe, apenas uma garrafa de má procedência. O. (1215 views) | |

About red wine Varietal character (Appellation America) | Nebbiolo on CellarTracker Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctor Vignaioli Piemontesi (Italian only) Union of Producers of Albese Wines (Albeisa) Regional History: The wines of Piemonte are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piemonte was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piemontese 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. |
