Conterno Fantino

Parussi Barolo Nebbiolo 2001

Bought at Grandi Vini in Alba late Sept this year. Pale tawny color of cold black tea at rim. Nose of dried plum, fungal elements, touch of molasses and even wet nappy. It's been a while since I changed one of these but I swear that is an accurate descriptor! Fine, fine silky tannins. Pleasant sweet finish. No need for further cellaring. Excellent! — 10 years ago

Excellent year, should push on; single vineyard, what village?

Parussi is situated close to the Serralunga border but in Castiglione Falletto so my research shows. After tasting no doubt it can kick on for a while but hard to see it better than it is now.

Also discovered that thanks " to the lighter calcareous soil, Parussi yields elegant Barolos with softer tannins by comparison with the more muscular Barolos from Monforte. The Parussi 2001 is the last to be bottled by Conterno Fantino before the vineyard owners took the vineyard back and made the wine themselves.

Tenuta Cappallotto

Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

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

Vigneti Delle Dolomiti IGT Schiava 2014

Il colore da solo vale il voto. Appena versato nel bicchiere vieni avvolto da intensi profumi di frutta rossa fresca, lamponi, fragole, ciliege, ribes rosso, si passa alla bocca e si scopre la vera schiava, fresca, golosa, profumata con tannini quasi assenti. Bella esecuzione di un vitigno spesso bistrattato che invece regala grandi emozioni. — 10 years ago
