Riserva Muncagota Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2019
We had a tasting there some years ago with Aldo Vacca (after climbing the tower) but couldn’t crack a tasting at Gaja just down the road.
@Bob McDonald Sofia & I visited in the fall of 2015. Now if you want to visit, even professionals, they require each person to make a $200 euro donation to their charity. A good cause but spendy for most.

Cooperativo Tra Produttori Barolo 2019
Robust fruity aroma, full bodied with a long finish. Paired nicely with the cherry tomatoes in the lobster tagliatelle. — 2 months ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2022
Always a solid standby- just rich enough, balanced. But many times left with the idea that if it was just a touch more complex it would be epic. But really, it’s more than good enough, it’s amazing. — 22 days ago

Riserva Montefico Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2017
As others have mentioned, the Montefico is among the richer Barbaresco's from PdB. The 2017 can age longer than the '15s and '16s. Still tight... better after an hour, but hold if you can. Delicious! — 3 months ago
@Darren Dittrich you think? I haven’t tried any of my ‘17 Riservas yet but that still seems like a pretty hot take. Especially over the ‘16’s.

From one of my favorite co-ops. I believe they are still the third largest co-op in Europe. Their tasting room sits on the top of the hill in the center of Barbaresco under & to the side of the church with an easy downhill short walk to Gaja.
2019 was a very good vintage in Piedmont.
The nose shows some light smokiness and lightly grilled meats. Dullish fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, raspberries with notes of black raspberries. Sandstone, dark earth and dark withering flowers with red roses.
The palate is ripe, juicy and lush. Quite pleasant for a youthful Barbaresco. Blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, black raspberries, raspberries & blueberry hues. Crushed sandstone & limestone, nice mid spice, dry tobacco, tough leatheriness, barrel shavings, soft presence mix of dry & fresh herbs, dry river stone, red cola, brilliant red florals, red & pink roses, excellent acidity with a nicely tensioned, structured, balanced, elegant finish that lasts minutes landing on wood & dry earth.
Another one to cellar 8-10 plus years. — 3 days ago
