Loads of violets on the nose with bright, juicy red fruit, firm, fruit coated tannins, mouth-watering acidity, well balanced and lingering. Delicious and a great match with game birds, grilled meats and pasta with meat ragu and freshly shaved truffles.
The freshness of the aromas and brightness of the flavours mirrors a youthful and vibrant garnet colour. Elegant, refined, textural and balanced with red fruit aromas and layered flavours, notes of spice, fresh herbs and balsamic. Tremendous value and a great example of the quality of Nebbiolo produced in Roero.
Vintages #12837. Deep ruby in colour with a tawny hue. Perfumed blackberry and plum nose. Medium bodied, sweet black fruit flavour. (Appassionante is play on the term Appassimento—the drying of harvested grapes before fermentation, as in Amarone. Although the taste of this sweeter wine is nearer Recioto della Valpolicella.)
A traditional style of Rosso with all its charm and a slight rustic edge that touches the soul. Vibrant notes of cherry, cinnamon and licorice with bright acid and dusty tannins. Enjoyed it with pizza Margherita—it was the perfect Monday.
Beautifully expressive with notes of pineapple and citrus, textural, lightly juicy and herbal with a tight core and minerally finish. More expressive at this stage than in previous vintages, but with the same structure and seeming potential for aging expected of this wine. A versatile food wine that can stand up to flavourful dishes and ones that are heavier than you might expect.
Impressive for its delicate intensity, brightness and balance: floral notes, crushed rocks, yellow stone fruit, fresh herbs and hints of blanched almonds, yet maintains an ethereal quality. Beautiful and expressive, inviting and vibrant with loads of personality and a refreshing lifted finish. 100% Cortese. Great with shellfish, fish and risotto with fresh herbs made using a Parmigiano Reggiano broth.
I am told by this Barolo coop that a total of 9 hectares of the indigenous Nascetta is planted in Piedmont. This wine makes you wish there were more. Pretty palate with notes of pear, melon, yellow plum and white flowers with refreshing acid that balance the rounded creamy texture. Zesty finish with a pleasant salty tang. A great match for halibut or simply prepared cod.
