A Mont Langhe Nebbiolo 2010

Declassified Ginestra Nebbiolo. Traditional style with floral/balsamic/cherry notes. A great look into the potential of 2010 Barolo. This will cellar well too as those tannins are firm. — 10 years ago

Feudi di San Gregorio

Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Red Blend 1999

Naso di ginestra, spezie, vaniglia e frutta gialla tropicale sovramatura, dolce di cassata siciliana con tanto di note di ricotta ( malolattica svolta), sapidità forte. Chiudono le note di canditi di agrumi che si ritrovano in bocca con una acidità balsamica che bilancia una spiccata dolcezza al palato. Sontuosa morbidezza di crema pasticcera con buccia di agrume. Lunga ma non invadente. Elegante x il contrasto impeccabile fra dolce e salato. Affascinante per la spettacolare integrità del frutto maturo che ha trovato complessità grazie all'evoluzione ed alle note lievi di ossidazione che concorrono ad interpretare una spina dorsale amaricante semplicemente splendida in contrasto con la dolcezza. La sapidità replica l'esperienza nel retrogusto creando una sensazione di armonia suprema quanto instabile che si rigenera sempre nuova tra naso e bocca. Spettacolare! — 12 years ago

Cascina Chicco

Riserva Ginestra Barolo Nebbiolo 2008

Gorgeous garnet exhibiting classic orange notes and the tiniest tinges of age, but the aromas of cut cherry and citrus jump from the glass! Blood orange thyme and watermelon on a grill with red currant and just a touch of cranberry and holly to keep it festive. The tar is a hovering ethereal addition that would be a side note, but it hovers like a smoky cloud that adds a dark spirit to the whole, though it feels bright and fresh. A dichotomy, but one that seems an integral part of the whole. Every sip sends your tastebuds racing in a wash of intense red raspberry, plum, violet, thyme, racy citrus and grainy cedar, silky tannin, an unobtrusive touch of vanilla and sweet tobacco! Finesse and sophistication from entry to satisfying finish. An amazing wine with endless subtleties, physically pulling you in with its seductive structure. #cascinachicco #singlevineyard #barolo #ginestra #ethereal #nebbiololife #nebbiololover #nebbioli #nebbiyolo #piedmont #piedmontwines #piemonte — 8 years ago
