This Barolo showed well, plenty of fruit and bold. I recommend decanting. — 8 years ago

A Barolo to find and hold. Picture perfect in the decanter (3hrs). A Sunday wine, like a perfectly braised lamb shoulder. Getting better as it breathes. The nose is all Barolo. Complex dark fruit. Spice. Pepper. Cherries. It attacks the palate and then immediately softens with a blackberry finish that leaves the perfect amount of heat behind. The tannins are integrated and silky and suggestive of a long life ahead. This minuscule production wine is amazing and you should fight to find it. I was sad when we finished the bottle. — 8 years ago

Surprisingly lovely paired with a vinegary borscht. Had a week ago and saved the label, because I must try again and take notes. — 10 years ago

Woah!! Hold up. Briny, sweaty, leesy, metallic, concrete laden, pure grape juice. I have to apologize to the Bay Area for drinking 50% of the only sample bottle I got of this lovely Trebbiano. Zero additive, niente chimica, senza solfiti, funky, natty, super delicious wine -day three showing strong- no VA no EA, same oxidative nose as when it was uncorked, which was fresh as lemon rainwater on hot concrete. I want to drink much more from this producer, and I am not biased, even though I am fortunate enough to sell it in Cali! The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is out of this world, truly one of the most unique I've ever tasted. If you see it, don't hesitate to expand your mind and liver on it. — 10 years ago

Geek alert: mountain red but from an area in north never heard of-Ivrea? A combo of varietals incl I think 1% nigrette. Love this stuff-but love Carema too. Rosenthal import — 11 years ago

Good nerello with minimal oak. Needs lots of time to show itself, oddly, then iron and the volcanic minerals show. Definitely lighter than most which I appreciate. — 8 years ago

Best wine that I have had in a long while. This is the 2007 vintage. It has everything gorgeous aromatics, beautiful color, incredible length. So complex. 9.8 for me but your mileage may vary — 8 years ago

Much brighter nose than I expected. Plums and cherries with an herbaceous backbone. A hint of leather as well. — 9 years ago

This was a real gem. Powerful wine. I wish I had opened 6 hrs before dinner. Went well though with my spicy shrimp stir-fry — 10 years ago

I wish I had a better photo of this because I can't read the label! Wine was really yummy though. Fruity citrus taste. — 11 years ago

Got this in Bayer wine cellar for 27€. Nose of beautiful terroir, dried fruits, berries, gentle touch of minerals. Fine body, not over dry, soft tannins finish. I rate this high for quality and price. Wish to find this in US. — 8 years ago

10% barrel ferment I think. Really highlights the structure and minerality it seems. — 9 years ago

9.2

2006 vintage. La Serra. 3 hours of decanting - the wine needed a lot of air to open up. Medium garnet, edging on tawny, hue. With air, the wine has a wonderful pot pouri, aniseed, violet and bitumen aroma. Red cherry dominant. Complex. Can smell this wine for hours. Developing nicely. On the palate, not as good as the nose. Medium plus chewy tannins, medium acidity, high alcohol, medium plus body and long, but slightly drying finish. My advice here is probably to open 5 hours before serving as it was clear that the wine was becoming more complex and interesting the longer the night wore on, whereas on opening I thought the wine was poor or even faulty. — 9 years ago

1998 Corino Vigna Giachini -beautiful modern style rustic Barolo . Great and long on palate. Will go great with a steak and Barbeque ribs ( I will have leftovers with this). — 10 years ago

I've seen bad reviews from people on this wine but I quite enjoyed it. Slight skin contact and time in barrel. There version of a white burgundy is what Ciro said. I work mainly with Italian wine and for me this was quite separate from the rest of Italy in a really good way. I felt the wine to be unique and complex and highly recommend it. — 10 years ago
