Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Quite dense crimson in colour with a tawny rim. Balsamic notes with cherry and a leathery note. Unusual production technique for Barolo using French Barriques for oak maturation. An excellent red but not particularly Barolo, although the oak has largely integrated after 15 years. One of the 1001 Wines. I have Delectable notes of this Cuvée from the 2008 vintage. — a month ago

Elio Sandri

Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

2020 is a terrific vintage for early drinking. And Sandri is such a wonderful winemaker. Visits with him are never less than three hours of intense discussion and sampling of all of his botte. He’s very generous and it shows in his wines. Great. — 3 months ago
