2019 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. As befitting the vintage, broad and big but gets down and definitely dirty earthy rather promptly. Excellent length of finish. 3.19.25. — a month ago

@delectable Rio Sordo Barbaresco

Nose is beautiful. Softened cherry fruit.

Palate is still fresh. Cherries. Some spice. Still tannic.

Delicious and will work very well wirh food. 100% stainless steel. 40 year old vines. Purity and balance. Getting better by the minute. Old school. Good long finish. — 5 years ago

2017 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Slightly too smooth with this blend of three vinyards. Medium body. Some grip but slightly less than you'd expect. Pretty. Harmonious. Together and with it. No rush to crush. 03.19.25. — a month ago

Classic nose. Spice, tar, roses, cherry, large Slavonian oak, opulence in the mid palate. So pure and fresh, juicy, pure, balanced and deep. It has an uncommon depth. Super aromatic. So old school. Opulent but also insane acidity that cuts it like a knife. Very pure. Good depth. Crunchy. Elegant. Concentrated. Long finish. Will age 20 years. Loads of spice. Gaining more balance and juiciness. — 5 years ago

Really a wonderful barbaresco riserva. Should have bought more than one bottle. Lots of sediment, so a decant is in order. Wonderfully deep nose, so velvety on the palate. Nice long finish. Just enough refreshing acid too - could have used a smidge more but still very nice. Great pairing with Allen brothers duroc pork chops. — 2 years ago

Classic Nebbiolo. Smoke, tar, roses, leather, spice, complex and pure. Good grip, very juicy, balanced and pure. Gorgeous Treiso fruit. Pure. Textured, juicy, pure. It has such lovable classic Nebbiolo fruit. It’s very giving in a super classic way. — 5 years ago
