Tasting notes:

2007 Barolo Castelletto, Giovanni Manzone, Piedmont

Size: Case (12 Bottles -75cl)

The vines from this one hectare plot were planted in 2000. Beautifully, light ruby in the glass, enticing one into the nose of fresh black fruits, mountain herbs and dark chocolate. Whilst approachable now, the fine tannins give a great backbone to a vibrant core of raspberry and cherry fruit. Long on the finish, with notes of white flowers and pipe tobacco.

2007 Barolo La Gramolere, Giovanni Manzone, Piedmont

Size: Case (12 Bottles -75cl)

This wine from a south-south-west facing vineyard has an intense, open floral nose. The palate suggests crushed wild strawberries, cherries, liquorice and the heady flavours of sumac spice. The lovely mouthfeel reveals a refined wine with considerable grip to the tannins at present and a lingering finish.

2008 Barolo Vigna Santa Caterina , Guido Porro

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Vines of almost 35 years old can be found in this one hectare monopole, the fruit imparting an attractively complex nose of crushed strawberries and violets, with a note of herbal bitters. Leaner and more focused than the 2009 that we tasted alongside, this has a palate reminiscent of blue fruits and black coffee, carrying through to a long finish.

2008 Barolo Lazzairasco, Guido Porro

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

This site lies in the lower part of Lazzarito, an amphitheatre with full south-south-east exposure and protection from the wind for the 40-45 year old vines. A gorgeous strawberry jam and sour morello cherry nose suggests ripe fruit, but this wine becomes more serious in the mouth, with darker purple plum and blueberry fruit and bitter chocolate. Incredibly fine tannins and pleasant acidity give the wine a lovely balance.

2007 Barolo Bricco Boschis, Cavallotto, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

In ‘God’s little vineyard’, 2007 was a warm and very dry year, which has produced a richly textured wine with notes of star anise, leather and dried fruit on the nose. Bold and somewhat opulent in style, this has rich, fig and damson fruit and a layered, mouthfilling texture. Another great Bricco from this most traditional of domaines.

2005 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis San Giuseppe, Cavallotto, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

2005 was a great vintage for Cavalotto, the wines don’t quite have the mouth puckering structure of 2004 or 2006, but this 40-50 year old parcel of vines produces one of the most thrilling wines in Barolo. Lifted and elegant, with an almost unique and very complex array of flavours. Keep for 10 years then decant well in advance!

2007 Barbaresco, Ovello, Cantina del Pino, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Made from the fruit of 15 year old vines, this wine has a fragrant, attractive nose of ripe raspberries, wild strawberry jam and roses. This beguiling nose suggests the richness to come on the palate, which is vibrant with notes of fresh plum and damson fruit. The acidity and tannins work in perfect harmony, giving this a beautifully balanced feel.

2007 Barbaresco Albesani, Cantina del Pino, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Wine currently held in transit or abroad. (Find out more about En Primeur)

Lying north east of the town, the Ovello vineyard has a south-south-west exposure and Renato’s vines are 17 years old. The nose is aromatic, which notes of sun-warmed blueberries, loganberries and cherries. This fruit continues on the palate, with an added balsamic characteristic and herbal note. Despite the abundance of flavours, this elegant wine shows restraint, with silky tannins and a freshening acidity.

2008 Barbaresco Borgese, Piero Busso, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Dark in the glass, with the scent of sour cherries and blueberries on the nose. The palate is redolent of fresh, crunchy red fruit with a touch of fragrant crushed flowers and a hint of spice. The tannic structure is present, but velvety fine and balanced by a dart of refreshing acidity. The finish is long and fruit-laden. Delicious.

2008 Barbaresco San Stefanetto, Piero Busso, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

The highest vineyard in the estate is known as San Stunet in Piemontese and has chalk and clay soil. 30% of the wine is aged in barrique, adding to its complexity. A dark brick red colour, with a cherry nose, a hint of menthol and very appealing spices. On tasting, the wine is full of cherry, loganberry and blueberry fruit, but it is lean and elegant with plush tannins and notes of balsamic and liquorice. All in all, a beautifully balanced wine.

2008 Barbaresco Gallina, Piero Busso, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

From a 1.1 hectare plot in a vineyard midway between Barbaresco and Neive, this wine comes from vines of almost 60 years of age. A lovely, more serious nose with blue and black fruit, this ruby coloured wine is classic Nebbiolo, showing a leanness and restraint. Very fine tannins and high acidity give the wine an appealing balance and freshness.

2008 Barolo Arione, Enzo Boglietti, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Arione is a small vineyard on the southern edge of Serralunga d’Alba and production at the estate is just 4,500 bottles. A beguiling nose of cherries and blueberries, violets and a slight hint of bitters. This is well-structured with high acidity and fine, firm tannins and an enduring finish; quite masculine in character, but truly refined.

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Very pleasant, luscious fruit nose of cherries, prunes and violets. Fine, firm tannins and high acidity are beautifully balanced, showing the classic elegance of Nebbiolo from La Morra. The wine is aged for 15 months in barrique followed by 15 months in large wooden vats. One to hold on to for a while.

2008 Barolo Fossati, Enzo Boglietti, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Situated at the bottom of La Morra and mostly planted in 1998, this vineyard is on a limestone marl soil. The ruby colour belies the ripe red fruits on the nose, which are complemented by a savoury gamey edge and liquorice note. The high acidity and fine sandy-textured tannins give good balance to the wine, which has a long, lingering finish.

2007 Barolo Massara, Castello di Verduno, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Intense aromas of plums, blueberries and dark cherries, with a mountain herb touch. This vineyard is one of the lucky sites which gets the first of the morning sun. Lovely supple fine tannins, ripe fruit and warm aniseed notes make this quite hedonistic and very approachable already.

2007 Barbaresco Rabajà, Castello di Verduno, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

From one of the best vineyards in Barbaresco, this south-west facing site amounts to just over a hectare on Marne di Sant’Agata soil, a calcareous clay with a high sand and fossil content. The 35-year old vines have given the wine a fragrant nose of black autumnal fruits and a touch of spice. The backbone of acidity and the fine grippy tannins both show this to be a serious and elegant Barbaresco which should age well.

2007 Barolo Bricco delle Viole, G.D. Vajra

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

"The 2007 Barolo Bricco delle Viole has just been bottled, but that doesn’t seem to get in the way of a terrific showing. It is a beautiful wine graced with tons of delineation and sheer intensity. The aromas and flavors build effortlessly to a hugely impressive, dazzling finish. The 2007 shows the volume and depth of the vintage, but with the expressive bouquet and overall harmony that define the finest wines of the year. " 95+ Points, Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate

2006 Barolo Riserva Rüncot, Elio Grasso, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

Wine currently held in transit or abroad. (Find out more about En Primeur)

This vineyard is just in from of the Grasso house and seems to combine the Casa Maté opulence and power with the refinement of Chiniera. Intially closed on the nose, which is not a huge surprise considering this has just been bottled after 3.5 years in French oak! With aeration come notes of orange peel, rose petal and wild strawberry, with no particular sign of all that new oak. This is an amazing wine with huge concentration and a tautness of structure which will release its complexities with time.

2007 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Case Maté, Elio Grasso, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

"The estate’s 2007 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Mate is quite a bit fresher and firmer than the Gavarini. The exuberant personality of the vintage is also a bit more balanced and restrained. This is a beautifully layered, textured Ginestra Casa Mate endowed with endless layers of dark, mineral-infused, balsamic-tinged dark fruit, all of which flow through effortlessly to a long, sumptuous finish that lasts forever. The stunning bouquet, purity of the fruit and overall balance are simply breathtaking. The Ginestra Casa Mate will be a fascinating wine to follow over the coming years and decades. Could it be a modern-day 1990?" 96 points, Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate

2007 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera, Elio Grasso, Piedmont

Size: Case (6 Bottles - 75cl)

If you are a fan of Burgundy and want to buy a wine from the Elio Grasso stable then this is the one for you. Made from the fruit of 35 year old vines planted on a mixture of limestone, sand and chalk, it is highly charged with aromas of almond blossom and white pepper. The palate has notes of black cherry and tar, with plenty of ripe, fat tannin, balanced by lace-like acidity. Very complex, with great intensity, this is my favourite wine from this estate.
