Tre Vigne Barbera d'Alba 2013

These classic Barbera wines are getting harder and harder to find as the "modern style" dominates this traditionally pretty and beautiful wines. Bright, and juicy with acid carrying the black and red berries for an eternity. May be light and simple for some but I love these kinds of wines. Far more interesting than generic entry level Pinot noir. — 10 years ago

If I was forced to drink only Dolcetto for the test of my life, this would be the one. As elegant, pure, and balanced of a Dolcetto as I've had. — 12 years ago

Dolcetto d'Alba 2011

Wonderful in a lot of ways. I wish the alcohol could come down, it fights the acidity in a very transparent way. Otherwise, no tannins in sight.. — 13 years ago

Serralunga d' Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Classic mid weight Barolo. Lots of tannin obviously. Very nice texture and perfume. Mid palate has some pretty beautiful complexity so I think this truly has 2-3 points upside. Day 1 had more perfume day 2 was better with regards to everything else. Definite qpr if you can get below $60. — 11 years ago

Cavallotto

Vigna Scot Dolcetto d'Alba 2012

Smooth, drinkable - would pair well with anything. Had with a wonderful Italian meal.

Ruby wine club notes: The Cavallotto family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district (also home to Azelia), where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929 and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis and Vignolo crus and traditional long maturation periods in large Slovenian-oak casks. After meeting and tasting with Winemaker and owner Alfio Cavallotto, I was incredibly impressed with his wines and thought his Dolcetto was one of the best I had tasted all year. This wine offers the crunchy red fruits for which Dolcetto is known for, with an element of licorice, and sandalwood. This Impressive effort will pair with just about anything, but it is highly fashionable with pasta and grilled meats.

Show stopper. A true to type and incredibly assertive with (at this point) the perfect amount of distinguishable RS. I also don't think I can ever eat leeks again without thinking of this wine, so thanks for the incredible pairing @Eduardo Porto Carreiro ! — 11 years ago
