| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 31 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Shalbbauer on 12/16/2023 & rated 91 points: Awesome after 2 hours decant. Loving it. (747 views) | | | Tasted by PFLK on 5/19/2023 & rated 89 points: Had this as a second wine after 2017 Arborina from Bovio. On paper more modern.. Darker colour than expected. The Terlo had a small sweetness to it. Darker fruit. Smother tannin structure. Test good and wellmade but also bit international in style. (914 views) | | | Tasted by psi on 3/4/2023 & rated 89 points: A bit disjointed this particular bottle (843 views) | | | Tasted by A_rytter on 7/6/2022: Bad (1556 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 5/13/2022: Hard red fruit, classic red cherry and mint, sandalwood, herbs, high toned, strawberry jam; larger scaled on the palate, drying tannins, more muscular and four square, some oak influence but not oaky; some called Scavino and I could see that; could use a couple more years but very high quality; quite the foil to the Burlotto next to it. (1745 views) | | | Tasted by psi on 2/5/2022 & rated 91 points: Will need more time (1188 views) | | | Tasted by Ulveström on 1/31/2022 & rated 88 points: Nice ageing notes. Didnt take notes but think the fruit was a bit to weak leaving the acidity quite unbalanced. (1499 views) | | | Tasted by A_rytter on 1/24/2022: Quite normal red, slight brown edge. Superb. Nose of fresh red berries, cherries, some mint, pipetobacco. M+ body, fresh acidity and red fruit, (1446 views) | | | Tasted by thefoxinthebox on 12/31/2021 & rated 87 points: Pretty developed colour of reddish amber. Notes of leather, tobacco and truffles on the nose, but a somewhat muted fruit. I’m not getting a lot of nuances on the palate either, mostly dark fruit and some leather. Tannin is soft, medium and acid is medium plus. (1307 views) | | | Tasted by Binder on 10/23/2021 & rated 90 points: Begyndende balsamiske noter i næsen. Mørk frugt i munden med ret meget præg af træ, dog er tanninerne ret bløde. For mig tydelig "højreside" Barolo. Fin vin, hvis man er til old-school nebbiolo. (1080 views) | | | Tasted by Karl Henrik on 9/25/2020 & rated 88 points: Deep red colour. Nice, but fint bouquet, hint of dark berries. Taste of blackcurrant and cherries, soft tannins and good long aftertaste. (1485 views) | | | Tasted by Jimmy_D on 8/22/2020 & rated 92 points: Still fairly primary, but approachable now. The best example I’ve tried out of this producer. Liking the balance and overall vibe of this. Last bottle to sleep for several more years. (1354 views) | | | Tasted by P2G2 on 5/20/2020 & rated 80 points: Ok vin - mangler nuancer og lidt spids, men fyldig (1501 views) | | | Tasted by Dlopez3102 on 5/4/2020 & rated 93 points: Very enjoyable on the second day. Didn’t seem like it would evolve that much but it definitely needed some time to integrate. Was all acid in the beginning but turned out to be a great example of a modern Barolo with a foot in the traditional. (1489 views) | | | Tasted by robferguson1 on 3/23/2020 & rated 90 points: Ok but very young and hard to tell but thin to me. (1356 views) | | | Tasted by Jcwl on 3/7/2020 & rated 92 points: Expressive mose of cherries and a lot of minut and smoke. Medium to full bodied with no sign of oak. Better Than I expected and enjoyable All Ready at this point in time. (1036 views) | | | Tasted by ciaovito on 8/12/2019: Surprisingly little oak noticeable. PnP late at night and very enjoyable. The acid/tannins are still wrestling as the mouthfeel changes continually
The nose is fresh, classic and red fruited with a more traditional profile than previous vintages. I would wait on pulling the corks a couple more years but certainly worthwhile now. (1399 views) | | | Tasted by Andrew67 on 6/5/2018 & rated 92 points: A young example of Barolo. Needs time, but will mature into a great wine I think. (1942 views) | | | Tasted by WineMetaMan on 1/8/2017 & rated 92 points: The mouthfeel and body is one of the high points - it's hard to pin down, basic and enjoyable - a quick attack of MEDIUM acid that builds and slowly recedes. Elegant, silky yet almost full-bodied. Noble, complete flavor. Dry, refined tannins, medium full acidity, a notch under full bodied. Many flavors - dry cherry, black pepper, plum, very faint tomoato. A good wine to savor. (3313 views) | | | Tasted by bacchus of knockholt on 11/4/2014 & rated 88 points: Smoky nose, red fruit, pronounced oak tannins and lots of acidity. Clearly needs time as not showing well now. (4881 views) | | | Tasted by PT insurgent on 11/3/2014: Accademia el Barolo Tasting (London): Tad riper than the Cannubi 2010. Strawberry, raspberry jam. Very primary. (4849 views) | | | Tasted by strawbo on 8/30/2014 & rated 89 points: Of course it is too young to drink now, but nose is already showing very nicely. With tar, cordage and ropes, prunes. On the palate its nicely balanced between fruit, acid and tannin, but a bit closed. After 4-5 hours it opened up a bit more on the palate.

| Poderi Luigi Einaudi 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.
