Saccoletto is an italian vigneron that makes really interesting wines for an educated palate .He follows a natural wine making Style starting from how The vines are grown. This is his top barbera, a dry, strong, straight forward, aged in barrique of 2/3 passage. It reminds me a Lot of The top wines from Braida ( They are located in The same geographic area ) for complexity And deepness though it lacks a bit of those wines elegance (its Way cheaper by The Way ).scents of ripened fruits, plums, Black berries, leather, a faint scent of herbs. Full body , perfect for meats And main dishes Meat based. — 10 years ago

Pedro Ximenez grape. Very thick and syrupy, molasses in color and also almost molasses consistency, with very thick legs. Like the color of coca cola. Very good presence on the nose giving off aromas of dry prunes in brandy. Quite heavy on the palate; clearly the thicker wine that I have ever had. The performance of this wine in the palate is really admirable, with great entrance and very long, tasty and complex passage. Molasses, cane sugar honey, thick raisings syrup flavor, explosive acidity and finish, with black pepper notes. Very peppery, very amazing, very, very long. 98 pts. — 11 years ago

Almost honey-like toasted golden color, with continuous light fizz. Sweet corn and hints of honey on the nose. Quite creamy, full bodied ale, quite harmonious and polished in its faily long and complex passage. Very entertaining all along, and leading to a very tasty and lingering finish. 89 pts. — 11 years ago

This wine really amazed me, with its dark purple color and sensational nose. Very different than any other more typical pinot noirs. Delicious cherry flavors in a beautiful composition that pleases the palate with every sample. Long passage, very admirable, and delicious acidity that supports all that delicious fruit. Very food worthy. 93 pts. — 12 years ago

Handsome caramel brown color. Caramel toffey comes on the nose as well, softly, along with cobs of corn. Beautiful passage through the palate, very orderly and harmonious, with phenomenal complexity, all in a medium to full body. Leatherly sensation on the tongue. Sweet toasty flavor on the long finish. Oily sensation at the end. 93 pts. — 11 years ago

This is a 2011 vintage. Brilliant golden yellow, of medium hue and intensity. Phenomenal nose of aromas of latex and lime peel, and limestone. Great presence, with very, very long passage and array of flavors. Phenomenal acidity with great grip on the palate that really makes you salivate. Very food worthy wine. Quite long, pleasant and brilliant finish. Fabulous value!!!! 92 pts. — 11 years ago

Ruby opaque. Wonderful aromas of green forest, lumber, pine, tree bark, tobacco, blueberry jam, blackberry, and smoke. Dark cherries too. Beautiful entrance in the palate, showing off its bright and beautiful acidity; very long structure and passage through, adorned with a great array of flavors, nuances and complexities. Long finish giving off flavors of dark berries and cherries, black currant, expresso coffee, and more. 92 pts — 12 years ago
