Santo Stefano Di Neive Barbaresco Nebbiolo

No longer purple, but a distinctly strawberry nose gives way to dried cherries and a finish tat lingers — 7 years ago

La Spinetta

Vürsù Vigneto Starderi Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2008

Supremely elegant. A bit young, in hindsight should have waited. But loved it all the same. — 10 years ago

Asili Di Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2009

Wonderful wine. Drinking well right now — 10 years ago

Castello di Verduno

Rabajà Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2008

One of my favorites! Velvety fruit of black cherry, with edges of wild mint and herbs and a leathery quality that is just beginning to show. This is Rabaja fruit through and through. So decadent and rich with gentle tannin (gentle for Nebbiolo, that is). — 11 years ago

Castello di Neive

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2012

Beautiful rust color. Earthy, dry, subtle notes of stewed cherry, dirt, cocoa powder, pomegranate, & subtle coffee. More fruit forward than I remember. Dry, tannic finish. Medium acidity. — 8 years ago

Silvio Giamello

Vicenziana Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2008

May be leather and faint roses on the nose. Light in color. Quite a bit of tannins left but I would say drink now. Morello cherries which faded the next day replaced by lavender some might say violets. I buy this producer every year. — 11 years ago

Paitin di Pasquero-Elia

Serra Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2009

Some of the happiness may indeed be because I've been a little to Californian lately. Occupational hazard. This has got pretty violet aromas mixed with herbal notes of pine and faint rosemary. Palate reflects aromas, adding dried cranberries, leather and tobacco notes. Good tannic grip. — 13 years ago
