Giacomo Conterno Barolo 'Arione' 2016

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Arione’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Roberto acquired a portion of the Arione Cru in 2015. Just under 6 Ha for 6 million euro. It is adjacent to the Francia vineyard, long responsible for both the Barolo ‘Cascina Francia’ and ‘Monfortino’ Riserva in the very southern end of Serralunga. The contours of Arione follow on directly from Francia and the soil profiles are similar with a limestone base compared to Cerretta’s clay base. The 2016 Barolo Arione is a sort of synthesis between the Cerretta and Francia. It has the red

Giacomo Conterno Barolo 'Francia' 2021

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Francia’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

The 2021 Barolo Francia is a vertical, explosive Barolo endowed with tons of energy. Bright acids and fine beams of tannin provide the framework for this striking young Barolo. All the elements are so well balanced. Time in the glass brings out an interplay of mineral-drenched energy, persistence and textural breadth. There's a lot of structure, and yet the tannins feel fine-grained and finessed.I especially admire its translucent energy. Magnificent. Antonio Galli, Vinous 99 Points

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Les Beaumonts' 2022
“A more deeply pitched and spicier, if perhaps slightly less elegant, nose is comprised by notes of exotic tea, sandalwood and an interesting hint of star anise. Here too the medium-bodied flavors possess a really lovely and sophisticated texture yet no lack of power on the intensely mineral-driven, dusty and youthfully austere finale. Excellent quality in an equally age-worthy package.♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 PointsAromas of plums, red berries, ora

Passopisciaro Contrada 'S' Sciaranuova Nerello Mascelese 2020
Meaning New Lava Flow it's young soils have not broken down to release as much nutrient as the olds flows. Treating the vines mean and keeping them lean! Made from Nerello Mascelese, some call it the Barolo of the South, others a cross between Pinot & Nebbiolo. I prefer to say it is itself & delicious. The vineyards of Etna have undergone a major renaissance in the last couple of decades. Passipisciaro has been one of the wineries at the forefront. I was blown away the first time I taste
