As usual in May I traveled to Alba, an old favorite town, for Vinum2012 to see my friends the producers, to eat the best food ever, and to taste and enjoy the spectacle of 60 different Barolo and the same number of Barbera, Nebbiolo 100 percent, Dolcet...

lovely violet color with an initial nose of cherries. Quite vinous at the beginning but opened up with secondary savory aromas of onions, herbs and dusty earth. Full and fresh in the mouth... a very interesting Barbera! Read More

The nose was floral and spicy with notes of olive and reminiscent of a warm spring day. On the palate, it was silky smooth with medium weight as flavors of rich pear, spiced apple, and inner floral notes filled the senses. The finish was long and palate-coating with soft white fruits and spice. (92 points) Read More

Powerful nose for nebbiolo, bursting with red cherry and lush raspberries carried over to the palate. Tannins present, well structured and balanced wine. Impressed with this Nebbiolo although you must eat with it to appreciate it. Read More

a very bright and concentrated Dolcetto showing lots of red fruit flavors bursting out! Only coming from the best Dolcetto vineyards. Read More
November 2012
This is really aromatic with sour plum, charcoal earth, dusty earth, a little cedar, wild raspberry, licorice, and forest floor aromas. Totally impressive on the nose and brilliantly open and clear on the palate with a lovely fruit that shows a roundness to the edges but no loss of tension. The acidity is bright yet integrated, offering good cut... Read More

This smells bright and red fruited with very fresh violet notes and lightly medicinal and stony accents on the nose, even a touch of iron. Lush on entry, this shows lot of raspberry fruit along with a stony thing on the palate and note of iron and a little blood. Super red fruited on the modest finish, this is very well balanced and fresh light... Read More

So silky smooth and full for a dolcetto! Incredible. Deep dark ruby red. Not a very fruity intense nose but get earthy dusty and slightly floral notes. medium-full bodied on the palate. Incredibly balanced, velvety with black berries and a long lasting marzipan peeled raw almond aftertaste! Smoothest dolcetto I have ever drank! Read More
