Nebbiolo

96 Points Decanter:

San Francesco is a single west-facing vineyard (compared to the mostly southwest plots used for the standard Riserva) which ages partially in tonneaux instead of just botti grandi. Ruby in the glass, it smells... Read More

Black fruits and leather on the nose. Well-balanced acidity and tannins. Some plum and black pepper--which actually paried very will with a peppery chicken marsala. Great finish. Pair with food, or enjoy by a fire--real or AI... Read More

This is a superbly delicate and carefully finessed wine that interprets the growing season with its alternating cold and hot intervals in an impeccable manner. The Bartolo Mascarello 2018 Barolo puts Nebbiolo and the vintage seamlessly... Read More

The nose is lifted and has a distinct potpourri and slightly earthy aroma. The palate is fresh, brimming with lifted characteristics and enough juiciness to keep you entertained. This is an easy drinking rose which is doing everything... Read More

The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse is a fine follow up to the stellar 2015. A bit more austere than its older sibling, the 2016 presents a distinctly savory profile redolent of crushed flowers, herbs, mint, spice,... Read More

The Rose delle Casasse is likely, the only Barbaresco made from Nebbiolo Rose. Some believe Nebbiolo Rose to be a clone of Nebbiolo though in Ian d'Agata's book, The Grapes of Italy, he writes that it has been proven that... Read More

Calcareous limestone with sand. No chemical herbicides. Hand harvested. Vineyard planted in 1978.
The skins remained in contact with the must during the first fermentation that lasted for 12-14 days, followed by a submerged cap... Read More

The Barbaresco Tre Stelle is the result of better exposure of this geographical appellation, 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Great character, undoubted delicacy and femininity together for a long-lived wine and amazing pleasure even from... Read More

The organic 2018 Barolo falls in line with vintage expectations with a very smooth and silky personality that caresses the palate. Dark rose, cherry and licorice cede to a polished, mid-weight palate.

A blend of fruit from five MGA sites (Brunate, Liste, Cerequio, Cannubi and Raviole), the 2018 Barolo Lecinquevigne shows that pretty, bright character that we see across this entire portfolio from Damilano. This wine is accessible... Read More

92 Points James Suckling:

A firm, lightly chewy Barolo with cherry, walnut and chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, savory and long. Shows intensity and focus. Better after 2022.

Vibrant, tangy Bitters made from organic Arneis grapes in Italy. A litre bottle to boot

Thirteen herbs and spices have gone into Dave Fletcher's wonderful Acobia Bitter Vino, which is two more than the Colonel managed for... Read More

The 2015 Barolo Riserva Cannubi is a fleshed-out and concentrated expression with black and purple fruits. Texture plays an important role in the power and momentum of the wine. This Riserva also reveals delicate touches of smoke,... Read More

This drop-dead gorgeous wine opens with enticing aromas of rose petal, small red berry, new leather and pipe tobacco. Delicious and smooth, the elegant palate delivers juicy red cherry, spiced cranberry, licorice and cake spice... Read More

The 2019 Barolo Albe is a nuanced, understated wine, but it is also a rare Albe that needs time in bottle. Sweet floral and spice notes open first, leading to an attractive core of Nebbiolo fruit. Gentle and understated, with... Read More

Lots of rose-petal aromas here, together with some stems and sandalwood, as well plums and berries. Medium-bodied with a tight palate and very fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Linear and focused. Hints of nutmeg and... Read More

17+/20 Walter Speller for Jancis Robinson MW:

Maturing ruby with orange tinges. A touch reduced with brooding minerality underneath. Peppery cherry fruit on the nose with a suggestion of new leather. Integrated, lively acidity... Read More

Of the three Barolo samples I tasted from barrel (including Arione and Cerretta, which are also from Serralunga d'Alba), the Giacomo Conterno 2018 Barolo Francia was the furthest behind and the hardest to pin down at this... Read More

Violet and roses, some nice fruits with cherry and raspberry hints.

Quite easy to drink, with a fine structure; elegant tannins together with a good freshness.

Perfect for any situation, it can be wonderfully enjoyed from a simple... Read More

100% Nebbiolo. Fruit foward, on the palate dry. Intense round palate but full bodied.

Barbaresco is often times called the Queen of Nebbiolo because it is thought to be less powerful than Barolo. This wine will give Barolo a run for its money. A wine full of character that is deep in color and flavor, dark wild... Read More

Complex and elegant, with flower and violet aromas

Zesty garnet red. Rich and spicy. Ripe cherry aroma, pleasant for its smoothness

The Nebbiolo grape is the foundation (80%) of our flagship red wine ‘Bramaterra’ (DOC). Complemented by autochthonous grape varieties Croatina and Vespolina. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, with each... Read More
