Piedmont: New Releases

72 year old vines. Lovely freshness here, dark fruit, tension, power, salinity and nervous energy. This is intense and powerful, with loads of salinity: so mineral, but also lots of burnt orange peel, and some almond kernal. It’s so complex and very well balanced: an astonishing Barolo from a real magician.

Cabutti & Baudana from Serralunga, Mosconi x 3 vineyards, Ravera di Monforte, Liste, Terlo, Paiagallo. This smells amazing: so much perfume and delicacy, there’s wild berries, hedgerow fruit, and lots of freshness on the palate. This is so complex, with amazing length and finesse. And a hint of pepper on the finish completes the picture.

3,600 bottles. So elegant on the nose, so silky, with notes of rose hip, and so much purity of tannins, with fine-boned tannins. This has lots of energy, with amazing salinity and raspberry fruit, mouth watering tannins on the finish: very fine and long.
