I'm sitting here in Piedmont on a beautiful late spring day, lamenting the coming rains as well as the masses of tourists. The fact that this spring has been decidedly wet certainly contributes to a mad rush like this when the weather turns, but what I...

I was wondering if you might have seen some Giro action. Thanks for the info and the wines and the pic of the racers! Read More

Greg, thanks for the thoughts...seems like lately the even year vintages have ruled in favor of classicism, and the odd years have been bordering on the overripe. Interesting re: the variability of '09, it seems that's the way we're headed now...with more producers deciding what kind of style they want to begin with. Read More

Intense aroma of plums and ripe cherries, floral notes and spices. It tastes of sweet fruit and has a long finish. This is an excellent wine. Read More

This opens with a deep herbal streak on the nose full of ivy and cactus, followed by an assertive floral note and fine raspberry fruit over sandy soil tones with a hint of wood spice. Showing a little roundness early on the palate, this has slightly more aggressive tannins than the 2009 Barolo Classico from Saffirio, with more savory complexity... Read More

Interesting. I am just planning a small horizontal, only 8 wines, of 2005 Barolo with one of my blind tasting groups. I'll report the results early next month. Thanks for sharing your impressions.

Looking for a reasonable priced Barolo the check out the Renato Ferrero La Moorra Barolo's. Great wine for the price! The 2004 Gattera e Luciani,DOCG is in the $39.- 40. range and is excellent. The higher priced is the 2003 Manzoni, DOCG $65.00 range!

The header of this page lists the 2004 Pio Cesare Barolo at US $19.21. Don't we wish!
