Massolino “Parussi” Barolo 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Castiglione Falletto

On the crest of the ridge, Parussi sits right next to the Serralunga border on the Castiglione Falletto side. The blue, iron-rich Sant'Agata marls here are a little lighter and more oxygenated, with more silt and less clay than in Serralunga. This makes for more vigour in the vines and a completely different style of wine.A divine perfume of faded flowers, expressive and so long. Incredibly even long tannin, nutty. Heading to a riper cherry flavour profile again with the energy for typic

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo 2016

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello. The 2016 M8 is a blend of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte & Serralunga fruit! I rarely buy wine site unseen. In this case I couldn't resist! The story and experience behind Allan Manley's launch of his own venture has him working with a veritable who's who of Barolo ending with Maria Theresa Mascarello where he still works. As you might expect he's a proponent of blended Barolo vs single cru. I can't wait

Oddero Barolo 'Rocche di Castiglione' 2019
Rare as Hens' teeth!
Rocche di Castiglione has to be one of my favourite Crus. The wines have incredible harmony, they are just so complete. Given Oddero's consistency through their range I'd say you're in for very safe bet here!The 2019 Barolo opens to a lean appearance with a very vibrant Nebbiolo color that shines with dark ruby highlights. There is dried cherry and candied fruit aromas on the bouquet. Those fruit layers cede to light spice, lilac and campfire ash. The beauty in With fruit from Castiglio

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva 'Vignolo' 2015
Power + Elegance
Cavallotto's Riserva 'Vignolo' is such a delicious wine, poised, fragrant, such incredible layers of flavour & the rare seamless harmony only the greats seem to manage. Cavallotto are making beautiful wines of great presence, harmony and detail. The Riserva Vignolo is always a little bolder than the Riserva Vigna San Guiseppe. They both have that hallmark Castiglione tannin layered, supple and of line and length. “The 2015 Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a powerful, tightly wound wine that is going

Roagna Barolo Pira 2017

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The 2017 Barolo Pira is a powerful, intensely savory wine. Dark cherry, herbs, leather incense and licorice all add to an impression. The Pira Barolo is one of the most reticent wines in this entire collection. It is hard to read today, despite its obvious weight and character.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 93 Points

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Monprivato' 2015

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2015

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Earthy and savoury with great depth and length. Incredible core of fruit. So many layers of flavour and tannin, just so much to get from this wine. Such purity, detail, so fine, it draws you in! Update Nov 2024: Drinking superbly. Incredible complexity. Layered with fine, long, flowing tannins. Ridgey's cranberries and faded flowers on full display. Delicious, expressive drinking straight out of the gate showing the typical immediate approachability of Sordo (and many other's) 2015 Barolos. Cle

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

All about delicacy, almost Barbaresco-like with roses, strawberry, orange and musk. Palate is big; bigger than Rocche and with some clear ripe red fruit flavours and that Castiglione acid/tannin bonding. Has energy. Should do big things. Slowly. Started dense and fragrant...then shut down. All about delicacy, almost Barbaresco-like with roses, strawberry, orange and musk. Slowly opens, to cranberry, fading flowers and more dense elements of cherry liqueur cinnamon and tobacco. A brilliant classy

Wow! A sensational Rocche. At this early stage in its life it sit with harmony, together. Expressive, a long even palate, stunning tannins that caress. The perfume is intoxicating, faded flowers of Castiglione Falletto. A superb core of fruit of exceptional length.Year in year out this is in the top 3 of Sordo 8 Barolo Crus. It looks like this year will be no different. Savoury, a little salty and earthy. This will be long lived. Beautifullly composed.

Massolino Barolo DOCG MAGNUM 2021
What a way to start DOCG Barolo!

Massolino Barolo DOCG MAGNUM 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

First produced in 1911, the fruit for Massolino’s classic cuvée is selected from seven sites across roughly seven hectares of prime-sited Serralunga vineyards. The most important of these sites—Briccolina, Collareto, Broglio and Le Turne—are dotted around the town itself (Le Turne borders Margheria, while Collareto lies next to Vigna Rionda)—so we are talking quality real estate. The 2021 also includes a little declassified fruit from Massolino’s Parussi Cru. Vine age varies from 10 t

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

This is the best Monprivato Sordo has made. So I need to go and pop the cork on a 2016 and 2015 ... just to make sure! Sordo's Monprivato has moved up the ladder a couple of rungs this year.The pedigree of this vineyard sees it sitting alongside Villero as one of the finest Barolo vineyards. At ½ the price of Giuseppe Mascarello’s this is exceptional value. An elegance yet intensity, the delicacy that is the hallmark of Monprivato when on song is here. Some would use the term Burgundian,

Roagna Barolo Pira 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

On openning the Pira was all beefstock, savoury with a hint of reduction. Revisited with 15 hours in the glass. There you have it DJ Luca has been at it again. The fruit has come to the fore. The faded flowers so common with great wines from Castiglione Falleto are shining along with red fruit, orange and a hint of baking spice. It’s the shape, focus, mouthfeel and exceptional interplay between fruit of depth and length weighted beautifully against long even tannin matched to vibrant acid that
