Big, masculine Barolo. Drinking well but more nuance will come with age. Literally garage wine. From vines in Bussia to the garage in Monforte. — 2 years ago

Nice Barolo, not a bad value for the price. Needs more time and air. But still quite typical on the nose and enjoyable overall. — 4 years ago

Bright, elegant, approachable Nebbiolo by one of Piedmont’s top Barolo producers, from their vineyards in Monforte d’Alba and Serralunga d’Alba. Aromas of raspberry, hints of tobacco and smoke. Tannins, high acidity. Dry finish — 5 years ago

The 2015 Barolo Gramolere is powerful and dense in the glass, with a good bit of richness but also less of the tension that is such a signature for wines from this site in Monforte. Cedar, sweet tobacco, pine, mint, dried cherry, licorice and dried flowers develop with air, adding attractive layers of complexity. Overall, the 2015 looks like it will drink well relatively early.

Spicy notes on the nose. Round fruits reminiscent of Pinot noir. Tannins still a bit harsh but lots of structure to age — 6 years ago

Really strong Barolo from 2004. Nice red fruit on the nose and palate. Smooth but with a great acidity. Served with porterhouse, roasted mushrooms, and mashed potatoes. — 7 years ago

This bottle of 2010 Pecchenino “Le Coste” was pulled from my cellar on a “school night” and brought to a fun little gathering of service friends after their shift. Opened, splash decanted and consumed over three hours; served side-by-side with the 2010 Roberto Voerzio “Brunate”. The Pecchenino “Le Coste” was locked down pretty hard for the first 30 minutes but shifted dramatically before the hour mark. At that point, it was singing with bright, red and dark fruits, roses, tar and wrapped up in the most elegant package. Compared to the Voerzio, this was lithe and open-knit. A lovely, traditional expression of Barolo that, while endowed with the classic structure of 2010, is just beginning to offer up more of its charm. It’s probably worth noting that Pecchenino actually resides in the Dogliani commune, just across the boarder from Monforte d’Alba. Dogliani is where some of the highest expressions of Dolcetto are produced under the Dogliani Superiore DOCG classification. Pecchenino’s Dolcettos are lovely examples and super reasonable…but I digress. Back to this wine, “Le Coste” is a small-ish MGA in the Barolo commune that sits directly south of the town of Barolo and said to share some similarities with the Cannubi MGA just to the north. While I don’t have enough experience drinking wines made with the fruit from "Le Coste", I can certainly draw some parallels. Anyway, on this night, the "Le Coste" by Pecchenino wiped the floor with the "Brunate" from Voerzio, which couldn’t seem to really get out of the gate and even after 3 hours in a decanter. The Voerzio is gonna need forever to come back around. Drink now with at least 30min of air. Otherwise, this will continue to drink well through 2030+. — 2 years ago

Very much enjoyed but something held it back from loving. I think it lacked a little richness to be really a top notch wine. That being said had a mild sweetness and bite and will definitely get again. — 5 years ago

(Tasted at "Del Posto", La Festa del Barolo Masterclass Tasting)
One of my personal Top5 WOTD was Chiara Boschis' 2013 Barolo. Blended with fruit from Barolo (Terlo & Liste), Monforte d'Alba (Mosconi & Ravera) and Serralunga d'Alba (Gabutti & Baudana). I find this Barolo amazing since 2010, when it was first blended, but carried on the name "Via Nuova" (which was earlier a synonym for the "Terlo" MGA, from which the Barolo was made before). In every of these vintage Chiara imho managed to made an ultra high quality wine with the nuances of the vintage and a use of barrique how I love it. So the 2013 comes across very beguiling with tons of dark red fruit, red flowers and plenty of tannins. Sexy & elegant (less than the "Cannubi" though) but still a brawny powerful with a wine with muscles. — 7 years ago
