Trappist wine from Lazio (same consulting winemaker as from the Paola Bea family). Golden in color and deeply intense - but very dry on the palate. — 6 years ago

A special bottling of the producer Villadoria, 100%-owner of the "Cappallotto" MGA in Serralunga d'Alba (next to "Baudana" & "Meriame") and home of the famiglia Lanzavecchia. "Paradiso" is the official single vineyard here (best exposition, old vines). The vinifciation is traditional in botti grandi. A very beautiful, succulent entry level Serralunga Barolo, showing quite youthful in 2010, as expected. Dark fruit, menthol, lavender and a bit of leather are the prime flavors. High tannins, that are well integrated. Pretty good structure and length. — 7 years ago

Dopo un altro anno di riposo, ancora più ricco. Abbinato ad una tagliata di manzo alle erbe aromatiche. Ottimo. La compagnia di Paola e delle mie figlie fa il resto :) — 9 years ago
Delicious. Tart and easy. — 6 years ago
Плотное, с умеренной кислотностью, нетанинное, очень приличное. Запах землистый, пыльно-шоколадный. Ровное и спокойное, свежее из-за кислотности. — 6 years ago
Wow, much delicious, so wine! Fruity. No dryness. Just the tiniest bit sweet. — 7 years ago
80% Nebbiolo, 15% Barbera, 5% Merlot blend, with grapes slightly dried on the vines.
Due to this style, it shows loads of baked lush fruit, all-spice, dried herbs, and purple flowers. Chalky, but developed tannins, medium plus acidity, and a very brick red color... I really enjoyed drinking this wine, but I honestly can't tell if it is on its last legs or if the grapes being dried on the vine make it seem in its plateau. I'd have to try a bottle again in a few years of the same vintage.
Great pairing for burgers. — 7 years ago
Certainly the best value from piedmont I’ve had at $12 a bottle. Good body, enjoyable wine. Drinks like a much more expensive wine, and goes well with cheese and beef dishes. — 8 years ago
