Margherita Otto 'M8' Barolo 2020

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo 2020

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello! I've now had a chance to taste through a good wedge of 2020 Barolos. It reads as an interesting vintage. There are many tightly coiled wines at this point that will need time to build generosity. Manley's M8 is one of the highlights of my tasting thus far. It's a complete wine with a caressing shape and flow of fruit underpinned by long, even, layered, serious tannins. Complex with immediate generosity,

Domenico Clerico Dolcetto 'Visadi' 2023

Domenico Clerico Dolcetto ‘Visadi’ 2023

Dolcetto | Piedmont, Monforte d'Alba

A ripping juicy, beautifully developed Dolcetto with fine acid. Playful with slatey mid-palate grip. Grape spice, red to blue fruit. Solid depth and length. Effortless and thirst quenching. Beautifully weighted. Excellent transparency. Lovely perfume.The careless approach many makers take to Dolcetto is a real bugbear of mine. It has been said by more than one great maker that you should taste Dolcetto to rate the standing of a producer. The worst offenders are too ripe, over-extracted,

Cascina Penna-Currado Dolcetto d'Alba 'Bricco Lago' 2022
Vineyards lie in Monforte, in an area with particularly great natural biodiversity. Elena and Luca strongly believe in Dolcetto as an important “tool” for young wine drinkers and their entry level exposure to the Langhe. The grapes are vinified whole cluster and aging takes place in stainless steel for this fragrant rendition of Dolcetto.

Fratelli Alessandria Langhe Nebbiolo 'Prinsiòt' 2021
Verduno Fruit
Trying Langhe Neb's made with fruit from just one Commune is a great way to dial into the characteristics of that Commune The 2021 makes it 4 years in a row that this wine has performed well above its standing. The consistency Fratelli Alessandria are achieving here is impressive. All of the great Verduno makers speak of the perfume and spice that are the hallmark of the Commune. Both are here in spades. Plush, ultra-fine tannins are beautifully weighted against hyper-vital red and blue fruits a

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Dolcetto d'Alba 2024
The Dolcetto grapes we produce come from our own vineyards, where we find soils typical of the Helvetian region (ancient in origin, calcareous-clayey with shades of pale gray and pink. Alternating layers also include siliceous sandstone, calcium carbonate, and iron). The color is intense ruby red with purple highlights. The persistent floral and fruity aromas of sweet violets and small red fruits give it a pleasant immediacy. Its moderate tannins and balanced, elegant structure make it the quint

Cascina Penna-Currado Langhe Nebbiolo 'Bricco Lago' 2022
Finally got my laughing gear around this (Aug 2024). Classic structured Monforte! A day of air brings out the perfume and harmonises and softens the tannins. A classic tar and roses profile lifts from the glass with sour cherry and blood playing around red and blue fruits with baking spice and a cleansing sappiness. The elegance and transparency of the fruit profile is dominated by some serious tannin of very high quality so typical of Monforte. It will take time to resolve full, when it does th

Giuseppe Rinaldi Rosae 2020

Ruché | Piedmont, Barolo

About Guiseppe Rinaldi Rinaldi is one of the cult producers of Barolo. There’s been plenty written about him which I won’t regurgitate here other than to say, he clearly had a single-minded focus on quality. Beppe, sat in the more traditional camp of producers, and, like Bartolo Mascarello and Maria-Teresa, Beppe Rinaldi was an advocate […]

Giuseppe Rinaldi Rosae 2021

Ruché | Piedmont, Barolo

Well here's a fascinating drink! I've not had a Ruchè AKA Ruchet AKA Rouchet AKA Moscatellina before. I wonder how Rinaldi ended up with this in the mix and the history of the vineyard.The synonym Moscatellina is perhaps the one that first drew my gaze when smelling this. It does have some Muscat like aromas, I almost felt like I was smelling a pretty decent bitters. Galloni is on the mark with his discription. Before trying it myself I though perhaps he was having a Rinaldi Fan Boy moment.

Dolcetto | Piedmont, Barolo

Back in 2018 I had the great pleasure of devouring a dozen bottles of Rinaldi's Baroli in one sitting! WOW! When they were at their best they were singing. Unfortuntely, it is near impossible to get more than a few bottles of Barolo and only slightly better when it comes to his Dolcetto, Barbera, Freisa & Rosae.The 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba is an attractive, delicate wine that nicely shows off the lighter style of the year. Crushed flowers, herbs and vibrant purplish fruit grace this unde
