| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.1 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Mike G on 5/24/2017 & rated 93 points: Lovely wine, drinking well right now. (1113 views) | | | Tasted by Pfleonard on 5/2/2017 & rated 91 points: Visually atypical as very deep garnet, but ztrong visual indication of concentration coming on the palate. Still very fruit driven and solid roadwork on the nose. Lovely round mouthfeel, tannic at front of mouth. Really nice. (1079 views) | | | Tasted by futronic on 2/14/2015 & rated 93 points: Dark garnet colour. Gorgeous, expansive nose of roses, sottobosco, truffle, sandalwood, prune, morello cherry jam, blackcurrant. Full-bodied, with mouth-coating tannins that are still very firm and replays from the nose. Long finish, 40-45s with more dark fruit/sottobosco notes. This needs a bunch more time in the cellar. So concentrated and rich, this will reward more time. Delicious regardless. Drink 2020-2025+. (2104 views) | | | Tasted by Eurocave on 12/26/2014 & rated 89 points: Best decanted for one hour to open and allow the brilliant and soft flavours to blend. Medium tannins, subtle fruit and a medium finish allow this wine to be enjoyed by a variety of preferences. Lovely with a light meal, without overpowering. (1995 views) | | | Tasted by Jhcwine on 8/14/2011 & rated 90 points: On openning - Nose - Barolo fruit, abit tannic. 91 or 92. Palette - is quite drying. Sufficient fruit, some tannin, but very drying (astringent). No improvement after 1 hour or even on the 2nd day. (3926 views) | | | Tasted by Hecht_Pede on 3/28/2011 & rated 92 points: decanted and drunk over 7 hours, deep dark red color, nose of licorice, earthy, red and black berries, some smoke, glue, forest floor and florels, beautifull but not screaming Nebbiolo or Barolo.
Savoury palate with plums, black tea, chocolate and big red fruit, seems very bordeaux like to me, great mouthfeel just not my type of Barolo its too modern in its style, but its a great wine nevertheless. . . the nose really takes the score home for this efort 91-92 pts
I might buy this again but if I want Barolo I would go for something else although it is a pretty good qpr for this wine, it just isn´t my style. (3716 views) | | | Tasted by Terkel on 1/22/2011 & rated 92 points: Medium red color. Nuanced, feminine nose with red cherry fruit, honeysuckle and dried viol petals. Juicy, intense plum and ripe cherry fruit on the palate, followed by leather, tar and sweet English licorice on the midpalate and finish. Good length, lively acidity and well-integrated tannins. (3356 views) | | | Tasted by futronic on 11/7/2010 & rated 92 points: Dark garnet colour. Aromas of tar, mushroom, roses/potpourri, sliced black plums, and crushed berry fruit. A medium-full bodied wine with very firm tannins at this early point in its life, there is a solid core of dark fruit and earthiness. Well balanced. Moderate-long finish, ~35-40s. A terrific effort from the Pecchenino brothers, as this is their first Barolo after making wonderful Dolcetto in Dogliani for many years. Drink 2015-2022. (2924 views) | | | Tasted by lumpyelbow on 11/6/2010 & rated 89 points: On a small Barolo kick. This isn't as good as the '05 Poderi Colla Barolo Dardi Le Rose Bussia. This seems to lack a little concentration, seems a little watery? Still enjoyable but better things out there for the same $$. (2725 views) | | | Tasted by Al-Vino on 10/30/2010 & rated 91 points: Classic Barolo cherry nose. Round, medium-bodied with excellent depth and complexity. Tannic structure reflects its youth...should come together very nicely in another couple of years. Probably the best QPR I have come across in a Barolo. (1973 views) | | | Tasted by BigJul on 6/5/2010: Un superbe nez. Malheureusement, l’astringence m’empêche encore une fois d’apprécier la bouche à sa juste valeur. Mon palais était-il fatigué rendu en fin de parcours? Le vin préféré d’Andrel. (2189 views) | | | Tasted by Terkel on 3/7/2009 & rated 92 points: Saturday tasting (HJ): Light red color. Exciting nose with notes of red cherry, morello and camphor. On the palate there is a good deal of intense red fruit on the attack, cherries, morellos and tomatoes. On the midpalate and finish the tastes move into camphor, viols, dried rose petals and leather. The fresh, inviting fruit is superbly balanced by lively acidity. Good length. This can grow into an amazing glass with a couple more years cellaring. (2647 views) |

| Pecchenino 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.

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.
