Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2011


A nose of roses, tobacco leafs,star anise, liquorice, some red fruit too and we find these expressive aromas and flavors on the well balanced palate as well, the tannins have a nice texture, some grip but with some silk also, and a very “Nebbiolo like” finish with a slight touch of dryness. Not the most complex and a wine to enjoy with a meal. 91 pts

Nez de roses, tabac, réglisse noire, anis étoilée, du fruit rouge qui se retrouve en bouche aussi, belle acidité avec des tannins assez polis mais une finale très Nebbiolo avec une pointe d’assèchement un peu “noble”. Certes pas le plus complexe et définitivement meilleur à table. 91 pts.

Note di Grillo

Wonderful Sicilian natural wine! Deep gold (let’s call it light orange) in color. Hints of grilled lemons with a hint of smoke. Beautifully “funky.” A true winner! Great with appetizers! Thank you Franky Bella for this selection. — 8 years ago

Not quite as interesting as the 14. This vintage runs fruitier and a tad more conventional, though still terribly enjoyable. — 9 years ago

Vigneto Saetti

Rosso Viola Lambrusco 2017

DD: 16.02.2018
Черри-кола, чернично-ежевичный конфитюр, пряная слива, молодая морковь с ботвой, тархун, мята, лепестки фиалки, экстракт темного пиона, горькая корица, чуть лакричный финиш. Мягкая игристость со спелой, сладкой, но не липкой фруктовостью и подсушивающим послевкусием. Максимально легко и непринуждённо, но при этом насыщенно и не без определённой структуры. Не прыгает выше головы, но делает то, что должно. И да, это идеальный аккомпанемент к пицце.

@Riddley Walker You get such great Italian wines where you are. Ever in DC? Let me know.

Indeed! And a small piece of paper with the message from the winemaker hidden under the capsule was a nice touch too 👍🏻 @Rob Brobst III

I actually bought this bottle in Ukraine 😉 With politicians playing their games I’m not sure I will get a US visa any time soon being a Russian citizen and all 🤷🏼‍♂️ But I’d like to revisit DC one day! (Stayed for a month there many years ago when I still was in high school) @MaJ CappS
