Introduction

Wines were double-blind, and no one was able to place these as Produttori, or even Piedmont. The wines were shut down tight, but most showed a lot of promise, perhaps even in my lifetime.

Flight 1 - Starter (blind) (1 Note)

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 2008 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

    Pronounced nose of kirsch, sweet cherries, and herbs; very rich and thick mouthfeel due to the coating and dominating tannin. As will be the theme for the evening, this is shut down tight.

  • 2007 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

    Very interesting, quite pronounced nose, very herbal. Silky mouthfeel, slightly green (pleasantly), fairly fine but very very plentiful tannin. This was the group's wine of the night, and the nose alone is worth it. Like the others tonight, this needs time, but may be approachable sooner than the others.

Flight 4 (2 Notes)

Flight 5 (2 Notes)

  • 2009 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Acclivi

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    This was fairly consistent with my one other experience with Burlotto: sweet, candied, and hot. Uggh.

  • 2008 Silvio Grasso Barolo

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Very pretty cherry on the nose and palate, with a good deal of funk. Tannins kept in check, making this potentially approachable now. I enjoyed this quite a bit.
