Delightful. Create a chicken parm with a twist and some steamed spinach. I needed to decant it and let it breathe for a while. During the aperitivo hora. — 13 days ago

The best Barolo at Da Fabiana, Bossolaschetto, Piedmonte with the three Cubans. 95 euros. Complex, big, quite elegant. However, the Langhe Nebbiolo last night might be better, forgive me. Curly really liked it. — 7 months ago

A beautifully aromatic Barolo that highlights Nebbiolo’s classic rose and red-fruit profile while remaining approachable and expressive.
