Young but very nice. Evolved beautifully over two hours.Very pure fruit with just the beginnings of tar and earth creeping in. Still tannic on the finish. Will wait at least 2 years to try again. — 11 years ago

2006 Vigna Rionda is pretty much everything you want in a Barolo. Lots of structure here - drinkable with meat but still a baby. Would like 6 more years before I would touch this again. Incredible wine — 11 years ago

Strong red fruit character meets a acidity & firm tannins. Absolutely okay to open a bottle if you have some more in the cellar. If not, be patient. — 11 years ago

Grab bag of southern Italian varieties with Gaglioppo in the lead. Balanced, clean, and tasty. Also inexpensive — 12 years ago

Maybe the most underrated and underpriced grape in the world. Cab lovers take notice. — 13 years ago

WHOA there's a lot of wine in that bottle. Enough sexy, luscious Nebbiolo fruit to get lost in, then the finish says "HEY I'm a badass young Barolo with dem noble tannins and acidity not to be messed wit. Y u drinkin me so soon?" (Direct quote) — 11 years ago

Smooth, drinkable - would pair well with anything. Had with a wonderful Italian meal.

Ruby wine club notes: The Cavallotto family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district (also home to Azelia), where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929 and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis and Vignolo crus and traditional long maturation periods in large Slovenian-oak casks. After meeting and tasting with Winemaker and owner Alfio Cavallotto, I was incredibly impressed with his wines and thought his Dolcetto was one of the best I had tasted all year. This wine offers the crunchy red fruits for which Dolcetto is known for, with an element of licorice, and sandalwood. This Impressive effort will pair with just about anything, but it is highly fashionable with pasta and grilled meats. — 12 years ago

Concentrated nose. Cooked ripe red fruits, but very intense. In a background pleasant violets and eucalyptus. Body is greatly balanced with acidity. Superb drinkability. Long, mouthwatering aftertaste. — 12 years ago
