Vigna Dei Poet

Castello dei Rampolla

Vigna d'Alceo Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot Blend

Great wine indeed. Nose is complex, camphor, dry amarena cherry, some flint, no oxidation not fading on this bottle yet.
On the palate, Fruit is gone for this bottle, wine is dominated by its tannic structure that is on the dry side, almost austere. I was expecting a fleshier, mellower tannin. Dry herbs, dry raisins, cherry again.
Long finish, good acidity that’s keeps the wine alive and well going.
Mitigate the intensity with proteins and juice/sauce.
Osso bucco with prunes will work. We did Fiorentina and it was ok. The crust and smokiness did not help, over exhibiting the dryness of tannins.

Vigna dei Pola Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

This wine is fantastic. Cherry. Big cherry. I drank this one after the 2009 base level Barolo... and this one really popped. Much fuller. Much bigger. Much rounder. Less tannins. Respectively speaking, this wine was an absolute monster. So happy I waited a few years before opening it. — 10 years ago

Vigna Cappella S. Stefano di Perno Barolo Nebbiolo 1995

Intensely aromatic. Black tea, rose petals, red cherry and tar. Every component feels accentuated but in a very balanced way. Lots of fruit, good amount of acid, solid tannic grip and long finish. — 11 years ago
