Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 2 notes) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 2/14/2009 & rated 94 points: Wonderful. You are taking an early-morning hike, smelling the cool spring wet earth after a rainy night, some mist is rising, spring alpine flowers are blooming, while you are eating some nuts and gathering wild mushrooms and crushing ripe red forest berries.

| Tasted by Barbara B on 11/9/2007 flawed bottle: 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): Over the hill; oxidized; dead. Someone else's decision to open and pour. Would have liked to Audouze it. Label says "Fratelli Oddero" so I am not sure if it's the same winery...? (471 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. |
