Such light color! Wasn't sure if this was wine at first. Aromatic, juicy, white pepper - just enough tannin to hold it together. — 9 years ago
A really good Barolo from Castello di Verduno. Red ruby, balsamic, spiced, cherry, freshness, a great body — 10 years ago
This is not a Pelaverga but a Dolcetto D'Alba. Had it in Turin with Jerome and Davide. Paired it with Risotto ai Funghi e Tartufi, outstanding fennel au gratin in Torino. Go Piedmont! — 7 years ago
More evolution than I expected. Still sound but perhaps better a year ago. Barolo Lecinquevigne is a blend of Nebbiolo from five vineyards; Barolo, Verduno, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra and Novello. Sweet strawberries, orange notes, roses, leather, tobacco, and subtle hints of violets and tar. Nice pair with Cari's lasagna. — 7 years ago
Wow! Crisp, bright. Apple and pear. Balanced minerality and acidity. Delightful!! — 8 years ago
Savory berries and cherry, dried roses, thyme, some anise, soft and mellow without much tannins but still pleasantly bright. Love it. From Botta di Vino in Red Hook. — 8 years ago
A bit reddish golden color; peach and apple on the move with hint red gooseberry; some tannins. Great surprise for Italian sparkling. — 7 years ago
Bright red fruit, light body, white pepper and fierce tannin — 7 years ago
Dunno if this is an example of "Italian wine contextual qualitative perception dysmorphia", but jet lagged and starving and after a sunset walk through the vineyards of Verduno, this wine is the FAHCKING SHIZZNIT with some fried snails and tomato Harissa sauce... — 8 years ago
A fave of mine! — 10 years ago
Verduno represent! Needs more time to show what it's going to do but very pleasant right now. On a great developmental arc. — 11 years ago
