Introduction

5 ways to decline a great variety: Nebbiolo.
A sparkling rosè, a young red, a robust Barolo and then a fortified wine and a grappa....

Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • NV Germano Ettore Rosanna Rosé Brut 87 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Vino da Tavola

    Pale pink, with soft, abundant, fast foam. Persistent and very fine perlage. Crystalline. Gentle and fine at nose: Anis, grapefruit, balsamic herbs and almonds.
    Dry, with a vivid acidity, producing a rich salivation and asking for another sip. Shy, nice fruit. High Minerality and almost citric ending.

  • 2016 Germano Ettore Langhe Nebbiolo 84 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    Pinkish ruby red, crystalline.
    Medium intense, medium complex and fine at nose: rosehip, slightly dried up, and fruity: black cherries and glicerin, sweet butter.
    Dry, medium rounded, with a good acidity and a young, live tannin, yet already integrated.
    Dominant citric acidity on a nice fruit, mineral ending. Not well balanced.

  • 2000 Parusso Barolo Riserva 90 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Dark garnet red, with orange-brick rim.
    Intense, complex and fine at nose: Red oranges, cooked plums, dried flowers and a lot of tertiary: coffee, chocolate powder, dried mushrooms.
    Impressive for richness and cleanliness.
    Dry. Lavish, velvety roundness, with evident flashes of acidity. Closing on coffee notes, and still acid imprints.
