Praeter Langhe Nebbiolo 2018

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

La Morra Fruit from the Vineyards of Luigi Oddero! Declassified Barolo! Not for quality, but, for the shorter ageing timeframe. BOOM! We're seeing more and more whole bunch wine coming out of Barolo. Matt whole bunch skills with Pinot made for a confident hand playing with fruit from La Morra. End results are a beautiful wine, it's really quite delicate for a La Morra. The whole bunch has elicited a fine perfume over vibrant fruit, little hints of spice. The tannins have a little edge of grip, i

Figli Luigi Oddero Langhe Nebbiolo 2017

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

An excellent introduction to the Nebbiolo's of Luigi Oddero. Beautifully made. Just like knowing the fruit sources of a Bourgogne, you need to know the fruit source for a Langhe Nebbiolo. In this case we see fruit coming from the Santa Maria in La Morra and the Castiglione Falletto Cru Rocche Rivera (around the corner from Rocche di Castiglione. La Morra providing the fruit backbone and Castiglione Falletto structure. Sitting on the savoury side of the spectrum, it has an underlying perfume of m

Benchmark Barbera!
Roberto loves Barbera so much that he only bottles his top wine in Magnums! Respect! This is a great intro to what he is capable of! On three separate occasions, devouring verticals of the Barolo from: Giacomo Conterno, Roberto Voerzio, and, Vietti, their Barberas have shone through as some of the best wines of the night! 'Il Cerreto' is a stunning example of just how good the variety can be. Roberto has planted great sites to Barbera and the results shine through. Vibrant and fresh, with plush

Figli Luigi Oddero Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

An excellent introduction to the Nebbiolo's of Luigi Oddero. Beautifully made. The Figli Luigi Oddero 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo is fresh and immediate, showing brightness and nice primary intensity. It reveals easy tones of redcurrant, dried violet and potting soil. The wine is simple and compact and not especially complex. The desired intent here is easy-drinking appeal, and that goal is happily achieved. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

Enticing with bags of Personality!
With Roberto's Cru wines reaching prices exceeding $400 a bottle, it's great to have the chance to try his Nebbiolo at a fraction of the price! Roberto's Langhe Nebbiolo has incredible pedigree coming from two vineyards adjacent to Brunate. Vineyard pedigree at this level doesn't get any better! Although his entry level wine, it would qualify as the top wines of many producers. The harmony and complexity of this wine is something special. It's from a richer year, yet shows great elegance, th

Figli Luigi Oddero Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Serious Langhe playing at Barolo level. Poured blind I'd more than likely say it was at Barolo level. Excellent acid wonderful core of fruit, flowing with excellent shape. A vibrancy and energy with fruit weight toward La Morra sources. Outstanding aroma and flavour profile. Layered and complex earthy and truffled. Open and approachable. A serious wine & a wonderful expression of Nebbiolo. The textural elements in the Oddero wines just keep getting better and better year after year.

Oddero Barolo 2017

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

A lot to love here. Excellent core of red fruits wrapped with a little darkness, hint of black liquorice, baking spice, chocolate, and black tea. Rich and generous showing La Morra fruit, plenty of energy, the first glass I had showed a bit of grip. Now with a little air time the tannins have softened to a dusty layer showing plenty of quality. The mouthfeel hallmark Poderi Oddero. Beautiful drinking with plenty to come. 2017 is really showing how sophisticated and wise the Barolo growers and

Marcarini Barolo ‘La Serra’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

'La Morra is most often a horror zone for me when it comes to Barolo, fine light wines, beefed up with way too much oak. Marcarini is one of the beautiful exceptions to that. So fine, and finely etched. Red fruits, roses, mint, almond, subtle five spice perfume. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and precise, fine brick dust and peppery tannin, quiet succulence of strawberry and other red fruits, spice and liquorice root, long cool finish. So lovely. Energy and charm. Love this wine. And there’s more

Cascina Fontana Barolo 2016

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

Undoubtedly the best Fontana Barolo Classico I’ve had! Brooding yet open - perhaps explained by the mix of Castiglione Falletto (brooding) and La Morra (open) fruit. Undoubtedly the best Fontana Barolo Classico I’ve had. A little sappy, resinous (in a nice way)  layer of tannin combines with ripe even line of nutty tannin, fruit comes, building through the mid palate and lingers. This just needs time. It has that Castiglione Falleto youthful brooding nature to it. Give it a couple of yea

Paolo Scavino Barolo ‘Movigliero’ 2013

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

Such focused & precise fruit with a lovely ripeness of plums, flowers & light hazelnuts. Full-bodied, velvety & polished. Very pretty finish. This Barolo comes from the homonymous vineyard of Monvigliero that can be properly considered the “grand cru” of Verduno village. This cru was first vinified in 2000 vintage and blended intothe Barolo until the 2007 vintage when this vineyard has been bought by the Scavino family and made as a single cru. Great finesse and aromatic complexity, dist

Figli Luigi Oddero Barolo 2013

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Luigi Oddero's 2013 Vigna Rionda is amongst the best Barolos I've devoured playing right at the Burgundian end of the Barolo spectrum. Having drunk 2004, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019 Barolos and Nebbiolos from the estate there's a consistency and excellence through the wines and the years. Maker! Maker! Maker! Dante Scaglione, still consulting to Bruno Giacosa, was in charge of making in 2013, joined shortly after by Francesco Versio. Both have incredible touch and the abi

A blend of fruit from 30% the plush La Morra Rive, 30% the flowing tannins of Castiglione Falletto’s Scarrone, & 40% structural acid-driven Serralunga vineayrds of Baudana & Broglio. Wonderfully fine tannins and core of fruit. A beautiful core of fruit, long fine excellent transparency. Delicate and beautiful. Earthy, truffled, an underlayer of perfume.

Marcarini Barolo ‘Brunate’ 2016

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

'Tasted alongside the La Serra, which is always interesting. If you want to experience terroir, well, I reckon traditionally made Barolo and Barbaresco provide much better examples than Burgundy does, with their Pinot Noir toolkit of winemaking techniques obfuscating vineyards so often! Anyway, air-freight sample here, so likely arriving in the not too distant future, given the travails of international shipping at present, container shortages, and the like. I’ve been dipping into my 2010s of

On most recent devouring, Oct 2022, the 2016 Barolo is starting to reveal itself.  On release it was clearly something special, now a couple of years on it is a seamless wonder, flow and harmony. A vote for blending across communes, the oppulence of La Morra, the layers, line and length of Castiglione Falletto and the dark structure of Serralunga all making for a complete wine. Plenty more to come! A blend of fruit from 30% La Morra’s Rive, 30% Castiglione Falletto’s Scarrone, &

Cesare Bussolo Barolo ‘Fossati’ 2015

Nebbiolo | La Morra, Italy

There's a beautiful elegance and perfume to the scent & flavours, fruit weight builds on the palate while maintaining a sense of sophistication. Texturally the tannins are fine, building to have impact along the full length of the palate. Great effort from Cesare. There's a purity to the wine and energy about it. Looking forward to see it head into the next phase of its life!
