Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1989

Tangy dark fruit. Great purity. On the palate a tart powerful but clean middle. Sour cherry, violets, iron, tang. Great stuff — 7 months ago

Basarin Vigna Gianmaté Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2018

Reddish in color.

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with red currants, fresh cherries, light oak, herbs, light earth, spices, chocolates and peppercorn.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This 6 year old feels very young at the moment. Fruity with mild complexity. Soft and smooth. Elegant with good structure.

Needs time to open up properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 2 years in large French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$65.

Albesani Vigna Santo Stefano Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2000

BG barbaresco leads the pack. Round, rich, earthy, and full bodied. Great balance for the grape. Black cherry, cedar, and dried fruit. While not a top vintage, a benchmark that’s in its drinking window. St. Stephen will remain... — 7 years ago

Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Osso Buco and Barolo, perfect together!
The 2010 Cannubi is like a clenched fist, crazy tight but with decanting relented some. Wait another 3 years easy on this one, 5+ is ideal.

Give it plenty of time in the glass or ideally in a decanter. It is a beautiful wine that needs time to open. Great effort in an off year. — 3 years ago
