Don't be put off by the 15.5 alcohol. Beautifully balanced dense black fruit, lovely mouth feel. Out shone the pizza — 9 years ago
Saccoletto is an italian vigneron that makes really interesting wines for an educated palate .He follows a natural wine making Style starting from how The vines are grown. This is his top barbera, a dry, strong, straight forward, aged in barrique of 2/3 passage. It reminds me a Lot of The top wines from Braida ( They are located in The same geographic area ) for complexity And deepness though it lacks a bit of those wines elegance (its Way cheaper by The Way ).scents of ripened fruits, plums, Black berries, leather, a faint scent of herbs. Full body , perfect for meats And main dishes Meat based. — 8 years ago

It is my first time I tried grignolino and it's more than just ok. It is rose-colored, fresh and juicy. Definitely worth trying! — 8 years ago
constantly underestimated grape - here presented in perfect condition and showing culinary herbs, ridden saddle leather, autumn foliage and some fruital hints.
a quite adorable old lady!
certainly on a range with a. oberto, braida and vietti's barbera treatment skills, highlighted here the ability to age this low in tannin grape... — 9 years ago

Significant wood initially, loosened after 2 hours decanter. Extracted, almost reminds me of Braida. A bit more classic, but a truly modern fingerprint on this wine. Good bottle, but worth the $$? Not for me. — 8 years ago
