Bartolo Mascarello Langhe Nebbiolo

Langhe · DOC

Red cherry, muddled strawberry, rhubarb, dried cranberry, earth, and dried pink roses. Medium intensity, but with firm focus. A bit rustic and a touch superficial overall, but ultimately clean with…

E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) Barolo Cannubi

Langhe · Barolo

Sweet and ripe red raspberry, with bright red cherry and potpourri spice punching along the delivery. Some bits of orange peel and cranberry offer focus.

Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Cannubi

Langhe · Barolo

Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Riserva Asili

Langhe · Barbaresco

An alluring wine with notable depth and also a great sense of airiness in delivery of its nicely developed dark plum, black-red cherry, muddled cranberry, damp dust, dark leather, and river rock…

Roagna Barbaresco Crichët Pajé

Langhe · Barbaresco

Darker and old school-er, with intersecting waves of funk and finesse; the overall profile here is one of beauty and beast (though the beast is kinda more of an all bark no bite kind of posture).…

Cappellano Barolo Piè Rupestris Otin Fiorin (Gabutti)

Langhe · Barolo

This was quite good, with leather, pink rose petals, and tobacco encircling a core of cedary strawberry, torched orange rind, and dusty red cherry flavors. It's lighter bodied than I would have…

Giacomo Conterno Barolo Francia

Langhe · Barolo

Aromas of leather, crushed dried roses, macerated red cherries, and alcohol peek through an otherwise muted nose, signaling a reticent Barolo that is wondering who in God's name set the alarm clock…

Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Santo Stefano di Nieve

Langhe · Barbaresco

So, I don't know how some of you big ballers roll and from what la-di-da silk-stocking side of easy street from which you necessarily hail, but for an average schmo like me to have an opportunity to…

Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cascina Francia

Langhe · Barolo

After about an hour of decanted air and some swirling in the glass, this displayed beautifully layered and generous flavors of red and purple plum, Amarena cherry syrup (not overly sweet, viscous, or…

Cantina del Pino Langhe Nebbiolo

Langhe · DOC

100% concur with CHATTERS note on this wine. Cherry, plum, wet wood/cedar, and mulch, and some funk. The plum note repeated itself on the back end, muddling the flavors a bit. Had a dank mouthfeel…
