Looks like homemade lemonade (no filtration) but has all the typical notes of Arneis... white flower nose, zingy Meyer lemon acidity, mineral overtones, and that slightly bitter grapefruit pith finish. If you don’t like this, you can probably skip past all Arneis. Some initial feedback was that this Arneis feels a little flat compared to the memory of others (Vietti, Matteo Correggia, Kermit Lynch’s Elvio Tintero), but as this opens up, it might be the most expressive of them all. 13% ABV, will buy again. — 4 years ago

I’ve read that 73 was an elegant vintage. Not for long term cellaring. For me, this is totally peaking. It definitely improved with decanting and the last sip was the best. Great bottle that was bought from winery on release and stored in Alba until it was sold with a cellar. Fortunate to track down this 💎 — 6 years ago

If Kanye likes it, it's gotta be good, right?

In all seriousness, delicious, heavenly. It's a toss up between this guy and Vietti for best on the market. — 9 years ago

2012. Another good moscato - sweet, refreshing but not cloying. Similar to the 2013 Vietti. — 10 years ago

The always tricky guessing game of making a cheap pull from Total Wine. This is a big W. Spicy and buoyant. Hardly a step down from the Vietti Barbera. Nice stuff. — 3 years ago

This 15’ bottling is delightful. Cherry, raspberry, rose petal, light vanilla, dried mushroom, and lightly roasted coffee beans. Mouth watering acidity and elegant tannins. Finesse.

For a regular Barolo, my choice would be a Massolino or Vietti. To me, they can be enjoyed young (relatively speaking) or aged for a decade of two. — 5 years ago

A great showing from the 2001 Asili. Aromatic, intense and sublime. A real pleasure to share and drink this bottle with my mom and dad. My parents introduced me to the wines of Bruno Giacosa (and many other Piedmont greats like Gaja, Vietti etc.) when I was in high school. The first Giacosa wine I remember buying for myself on release was the 1989 Barbaresco Santo Stefano Riserva. It cost the princely sum of $55 a bottle😱which at the time was a splurge that felt borderline reckless...Even today, there is nothing like the wines of the Maestro. 😋❤️ — 7 years ago

Traditional-style, floating cap fermentation for 15/20 days. The wine is then matured in French oak for approximately 18 months. Aging 2yrs in btl of following vintage.

Much more Elegant and delicate aroma than vietti. Sense of botti not brq- delicate elegant version of fruit. Very lovely and elegant. Med body, med p acid, more acidic and elegant boddy than vietti, more sour red fruit and raspberry reminder. Smooth, silky, elegant, perfect for glass wine. 20 — 9 years ago

Fairly transparent for Barbera and light in alcohol at 13.5%. Lovely bright nose, ripe of red cherry with a floral twist. On the palate it tastes quite evolved with a secondary profile that is very appealing. Could almost pass for a barolo. Probably best Barbera I’ve tried and better than the Burlotto Aves and Vietti Scarrone tried alongside. — 5 years ago

Loved the Gaja amidst this nice lineup. It was tar and roses. Biggest of the bunch in flavor and the oldest at same time. The Conterno changed a lot in the glass. Started out tasting like it was nearly over the hill. Quickly climbed back to a very enjoyable wine and then dipped down again pretty quickly all within a couple of hours. The Vietti duo was spectacular and even better the next day. Preferred Ravera as it’s taste matched the powerful aromatics whereas the Lazzaritos flavor was a bit subdued in comparison. Nitpicking to be sure. Can’t wait to have these again after some age. — 6 years ago

Consider this a collective note on the '67 Barolo vintage...having tasted through about fifteen, most were fading or already past it. Burlotto, Prunotto, and Vietti were all wonderful and G. Rinaldi could legitimately go another decade, but in general, drink 'em if ya got 'em! — 8 years ago

Ron Siegel

9.2

Dried cherry, mushroom, leather, balsamic & floral notes, great acidity. Still fresh & vibrant. The reason for trying this wine was that the Krause family bought this winery for 6 mil euros and then bought the Vietti winery and will incorporate some of the Serafino Vineyards into the Vietti wines in the near future. — 9 years ago
