  • 2020 Vaira Aurelj Barolo Fossati 92 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Glass: Conterno Sensory Nebbiolo
    Popped and poured, quick decant. Clear, medium ruby-garnet color. Compared to LaLu the more expressive nose, fine floral, almost a punch in the face.
    On the palate deep, fruity and juicy, texture and tension is a bit less compared to LaLu, but already a beautiful wine with a solid potential. 92++

  • 2019 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Bussia 94 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Glass: Conterno Sensory Nebbiolo
    Popped and poured, quick decant. For the professional view, read Manolo Barolos (Winewithmuscles) note :)
    Yep, this is really good. Still young and not fully there, but it shows the "young guns" where the top starts. Weightless power, beautiful texture and floral notes (violets), long and spicy finish. 94++
