| Tasted by Finare Vinare on 11/15/2009 & rated 95 points: (112 views) | |
| Tasted by Barbara B on 11/9/2007: Sparkling wine blind tasting and dinner (Enoteca La Vecchia Bottega del Vino, Via S. Maria del Pianto 9a/11/12, Rome, in the Jewish Ghetto): Still had some life. Nose of pomegranates. Alcohol stated as 14.3% even back then. Wildly appreciated by some; accepted as interesting and not unpleasant by others. (515 views) | |
| Tasted by rittercros on 3/5/2007 & rated 89 points: great color, beutifully bright red. A penetrating nose with gretaer depth than the older wines, good base of spice and leather, a bit sweaty, lots of orange tinged sweet wild berry notes, turns extremely floral soap scented by nights end. Bright acidity, most tannins resolved, minty up front, lacks a bit of weight and deoth, lovely fruit on the finish, a relative disappointment considering the vintage though a fine bottle at peak, perhaps just a touch past.

About red wine
Varietal character (Appellation America) | Nebbiolo on CellarTracker Located 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. 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. |
