2006 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco

Cherries, crushed red berries, and dark flower petals define this wine’s nose. A spin in the glass opens up some interesting notes of rose bush and a delicate menthol quality.
Soft, supple, velvety and dusty all at once, this wine shows a nice integration from the very start. An almost juicy acidity is countered nicely by faintly tacky tannins giving it a well balanced mouthfeel. Dried berries, cherries, and dried flower petals mix with cacao power and earth to create a fairly interesting and enjoyable Barbaresco for the price.

2005 Rivetto Barbaresco Ce Vanin
3/1/2012 - Tyler_at_WWD wrote: 88 Points
Raspberry and mocha notes with soft potpourri and kitchen spice tones show initially on the nose. Plump red cherry and a very faintly mossy quality hinting of forest floor and mushrooms shows in the background.
Ripe red cherry and raspberry with plenty of kitchen spice introduce the palate. Very subtle tar undertones and hints of earth and moss give the fruit some additional depth. Ripe and fresh with very pure juicy acidity and a soft spiciness, this is a somewhat downplayed, but pretty and enjoyable Barbaresco.

2009 Rocca Felice Nebbiolo d'Alba
3/1/2012 - Tyler_at_WWD Likes this wine: 90 Points
Cherry, strawberry, and pomegranate drive the nose of this wine with notes of vanilla, coffee beans, and burnt caramel showing in the background. A spin in the glass also reveals a light menthol and floral tone as well.
Ripe and driven by red fruit, this is a very approachable, easy to enjoy Nebbiolo, soft, and generally free of the traditional tannic grip of this varietal. Strawberry and cherry mix with vanilla, light coffee and caramel notes show at the core with a subtle floral quality lingering in the background. This is not one of the big, bold powerhouse Nebbiolo wines of Barolo or Barbaresco, but its intense red fruit, bright acidity, and exceptional balance make it a wine that should absolutely not be missed for the price.
