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. — 9 years ago

Much brighter nose than I expected. Plums and cherries with an herbaceous backbone. A hint of leather as well. — 10 years ago

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. — 10 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). — 11 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. — 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. — 9 years ago

Pretty color and nose, more elegance than Langhe Nebbiolos but not the complexity or intensity I hoped for in Barolo, I think it's mildly corked. Still, a lovely wine. — 10 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 — 11 years ago

A real find! Picked this up on a hunch at the wine house in LA. Smells like a 'junger süßer' unfermented young red. Rhubarb on the nose. Exciting all natural wine really out of the box stuff👏👏👏. I love it. Drink now. I wish people would make more wine like this. A good table wine you can get usually only in Abruzzo. Sour cherry and tart in the glass. Light on its feet falls a little apart after a while still I could drink this all day! — 10 years ago

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

The best sip was the first where it had incredible complexity. Over time it got bigger but I feel like it hid the crazy complexity a bit. What was left was a more savory style of Barolo with beautiful fruit also. Obviously a 2010 Barolo is a baby. Can't wait for ten years from now besides that I'll be 50. Actually I take that all back. Ten years from now will suck and this wine may be one of the only good things. — 10 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. — 11 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. — 11 years ago
