Castellero Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Ruby in color with a brick rim.

Beautiful nose with red and black fruits, roses, nuts, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, blueberries, plums, earth, light wood and coffee.

Long finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Barolo from Piedmont. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.

This Single Vineyard is still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself as a sipping wine. Elegant and robust at the same time.

Very approachable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Will also pair very nicely with food.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

One of the few rose wines I adore. 100% Nebbiolo from Valtellina. Nose is light but vivid cherry and some tobacco and tar. Gorgeous clarity. So much energy and precision and so so juicy. What a wine. Amazing length. Now after air the fruit is sweeter and the nose is so floral. This is elite. 9.3 to 9.4 — 7 months ago

@Jay Kline we offer once a year. It’s ridiculously great.. 21 will be next vintage. But after 4-6 years in the cellar. it’s off the charts.

Le Urscele Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2018

When initially opened, it was tight and I was hit in the face with tannin and acidity; obviously too young, decanted 1.5 hours and opened with aromas of licorice, anise, dried red flowers, tar, red berries. Palate evolved over 2.5 hours. Licorice, dried strawberry, forest floor, cranberry; still high acidity and tannin. Excellent wine, and has that sweet fruit profile absent of any residual sugar, which is always fascinating to me; blows lots of 60 dollar Barolo and barbaresco out of the water; I would let rest until at least 2027, and at that point I would expect a stunner. @Lyle Fass — 3 days ago

Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Reddish in color with medium intensity.

Strong fruity nose and medium in body, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, chocolates and earth.

Medium finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very young Barolo from Piedmont. Elegant and powerful.

This Single Vineyard Nebbiolo is already drinking very nicely, and better with food.

A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Barolo Nebbiolo 2022

The nose is textbook nebbiolo with cherry, sour cherry, tar, almond, hay, tobacco leaves, black tea and roasted pork shoulder juice 😀. The palate is rather big and bold with a strong acid drive, a dry palate through and through, some impressive width, cherry, tea and that savoury note reminiscent of the pork shoulder juice note I found on the nose. The mouthfeel is first soft and nice, with almost a sweeter touch, before a great tannic walls comes and disrupts the entire feel and triggers a rather long finish with tea, cherry, tobacco touches and again that savoury pork note. It's a lovely, not so complex nebbiolo but really well made and offering pleasure by itself or alongside dinner (we had it along chicken gizzard stew and it worked super well). — 22 days ago

Based on a sample of only this wine I would tend to agree, Jay. I will try to locate other examples now 😁

Marcenasco Barolo Nebbiolo

Very nice medium body. Not as bold as a good cab. Finish was a little dry, but who can go wrong with a Barolo. — 6 months ago

Love this producer. Love this wine. Villero can often show nicely even its youth
