Margherita Otto 'M8' Barolo 2021

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo 2021

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello! Barolo 2021 is a ripe, full-bodied wine in a showy package. The wine announces itself from the perfume: ripe and generous, lots of red fruits and floral aspects, hints of mineral and liquorice. It has a long finish, ripe and rich, with good acidity and mature tannins that feel big but silky.Alan ManleyThe 2021 Barolo is gorgeous. Orange peel, cinnamon, kirsch, new leather and spice are all be

Giovanni Sordo Barolo Riserva 'Perno' 2008
Perno, always the darkest and most structured on release, is perhaps the wine in the Sordo Cru lineup that goes through the most dramatic metamorphosis with time. Monforte is the least defined of the Barolo Communes, the end result is a diversity of styles. Barolo from Monforte can have incredible power, darknesss and earthiness, less reliant on fruit than other communes, in recent times we have soon producers making finer, elegant, perfumed iterations. Sordo's Perno sits in the middle, perhaps

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Via Nuova' 2019

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo ‘Via Nuova’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

This one's an argument for blending sites! The 2017 Barolo Via Nuova is a blend of seven plots from Barolo, Monforte & Serralunga! This one’s an argument for blending sites! The 2018 Barolo Via Nuova is an organic blend of fruit from six MGA sites: Terlo and Liste (in Barolo), Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi (in Monforte d’Alba) and Gabutti and Baudana (in Serralunga d’Alba).The 2019 Barolo Via Nova is another gorgeous wine in this tasting. Soaring and broad in its aromatic intensi

Giovanni Sordo Barolo Riserva 'Perno' 2004
Lifting the level to Sordo's Riserva Range is always Fun! Winery Direct from an exceptional Barolo Year! Update Dec 2023 Devoured at a Christmas function, the 2004 Perno is right in the zone. Sitting in that perfectly mature spot. Earthy and truffled, seamless and harmonious, poised, balanced, flowing and delicious. This aged Barolo is in its prime drinking beautifully.A perfect match to dry-aged duck breast with a white truffle and cured cherry sauce at Al Dente.From my experience o

Margherita Otto 'M8' Barolo 2016

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

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Mosconi' 2020
The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2020 Barolo Mosconi has some of the extra ripeness of the vintage with cherry cream syrup, grenadine, watermelon candy and a drop of Pastis. The wine ends on a powerful note with a balanced combination of fruit and fine oak tannins. The palate is very alive, and the fruit feels very vibrant at this young stage.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 96 Points AG 95 JD 98

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Mosconi' 2019
The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most potent of the three Barolos in the range. It exudes Monforte darkness and virile intensity from the very first taste. Black cherry, plum, mocha, sage, tar, lavender and spice infuse the 2019 with tons of character. This is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted from Mosconi, a site that does not naturally lend itself to finesse.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 98 Points

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Mosconi' 2021
The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Mosconi is structured, linear and ultimately quite mineral in character compared to the Cannubi. Its firm underlying architecture is rendered light and fragrant thanks to aromas of blue flower, grilled herb (with both rosemary and aniseed) and pulverized stone. Fruit comes from a site in Monforte d'Alba at a cool 370 meters in elevation. I came back to this bottle 24 hours after my first tasting and remarked on the elegant, chalky nature of the ta

Domenico Clerico Barolo 'Pajana' 2021

Domenico Clerico Barolo ‘Pajana’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

More linear, more tightly coiled than the rest of the 2021 Barolos at this early stage.  Again, elegance, delicacy and transparency. Long even tannin. Slatey, a darkness playing here with tar and roses. Blood and leather, stone. An excellent core of fruit. A bolder Monforte. This is the one to wait for. It needs 10 years in the bottle.  I see the Clerico Barolo 'Pajan' resolving and building into a complete, special wine. It has great density, depth and length combined with a vital freshness.

Domenico Clerico Barolo 'Ciabot Mentin' 2021
On the day tasting all of the 2021 Barolos side by side the Clerico 'Ciabot Mentin' and the Barolo di Monforte were drinking the best. The joy of wine and the quality of the full range will see any of exceptional 2021's be called WOTN over time! Exceptional depth and length, the 'Ciabot Mentin' is an epic wine with stunning tannins. Alpine spice. Fresh with so much power yet elegance. Like Pajana I can’t wait to see this fully resolved and build complexity. Even on the day it was building in t

Poderi Colla Barolo Bussia 'Dardi Le Rose' MAGNUM 2021
The single best Dardi Le Rose I've seen from Poderi Colla. Serious wine, yet, with a playful side. Excellent tannins, depth and length. A dark note melds into red fruits. Fresh, energetic & layered.  Structured Monforte Tannins with a beautifully weighted presence.Lovely perfume. Earthy, forest floor, with a dash of licorice/tar + so much more going on already! A few years in bottle will see it through the first phase of development and into a very happy place. Plenty of legs on it and
