Tart, dark and pretty big. Approachable still. Excited to open some older Barolo from Conterno. — 10 days ago
Small, family owned winery farmed organically by hand. The riserva has 3 years in oak and could use a little more time to integrate, but already it’s very elegant and aromatic. Beautiful and soulful wine showing very primary right now with raspberry, cherry, balsamic, a bit of leather and licorice with air — 19 days ago

1995 Bussia Barolo.
Still holding a deep red core with a bit of fading at the rim…impressive.
Dried Bing cherries, dried roses and flowers on the nose.
Dried red fruit, cherries and plums with mint and mushrooms.
Tannins are disappearing but the acidity is still so smooth.
A friend foraged for local Matsutake mushrooms and we made risotto with black summer truffles. — 3 months ago
S.S. Mandani
Perfumed red spice and cinnamon.
Medium to high acidity. Medium to high tannins.
Baking spices under current. Dark cherries. Slight astringency on the back note. Classic Sangiovese.
Pretty. Bracing. Fun to drink. Probably attains some balance as it opens up — 2 days ago
