Community Tasting Notes 15

  November 24, 2023 - I like the wines of Giulia Negri a lot. Real finesse here and she’s charming in person. With that in mind, the 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo is a fun little bottle that fulfills its role as a wine for the pasta and the table. Save the Barolo for the brasato, enjoy the Dolcetto with salumi and carne cruda or vitello tonnato, and maybe savor your Barbera with tajarin and truffles or your maialie al latte. Rose, rose hip, and bruised violets on the nose with a faint stank of the barnyard in the background. Finely-etched structure framing the palate—nimble acidity, powdery tannins, and just enough reserve to make one lean in and listen. Red plum, high bush cranberry, apple skin, and wild raspberry fruit, dance across palate and while displaying ripeness also show fine aplomb and lift. This isn’t brooding nor is it some sort of flibbertigibbet, but sings joyfully while knowing some things. Probably would benefit from a bit more aging, but shows admirably with some air and a bowl of Amatriciana with some braised broccoli. Enough so, that I’m scouring the internet for more bottles. Re-buy? I’d re-watch that telenovela.

  October 6, 2023 - Enjoyable, well made wine. Good with food. Characteristic of Nebbiolo. Somewhat simple and plain.

  September 18, 2023 - Nice, a little young, but approachable. Opened up after an hour in the glass. on the lighter side with red crunchy fruit.

  September 13, 2023 - Plutôt décevant à l'ouverture, vin très léger, un peu marqué par l'élevage. Beaucoup moins agréable que le 2018 au même age.

  August 15, 2023 - Unmistakably nebbiolo with its tannins and floral perfumes; obviously given the entry level, this is relatively simplistic, with not too much depth on the palate, but this is certainly archetypal for the grape.
