Super fun and refreshing. No tannins. But held up to beef negimaki. Served chilled. Shared with guests who were suspect of a white red blend and they loved it. — 4 months ago

Brunate Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

This bottle of 2010 Roberto Voerzio “Brunate” was generously provided by a friend who wanted to share this with me after service along with a few others from Tasting Group. Opened, splash decanted and consumed over three hours; served side-by-side with the 2010 Pecchenino “Le Coste”. The Voerzio “Brunate” was a relative hermit. Even after three hours in the decanter, it remained a bit of a wallflower while the Pecchenino was a whirling dervish on the dance floor. The classic structure of 2010 and the austerity of “Brunate” made for an impenetrable fortress, keeping the fruit under lock and key…and behind a moat and a drawbridge and stone walls with soldiers and trebuchets for that matter. Despite all of that, one does get the sense there is a deep core of high quality fruit recessed underneath the surface. It’s dark and mysterious…and simply hard to access at this moment in time. For what it’s worth, Voerzio’s holdings in “Brunate” come from the western portion of the MGA, on the La Morra side, right next to Oddero’s holdings. Frankly, this is going to need a long, long time in the cellar before it shows really well. If i had any in my cellar, I wouldn’t touch again until 2030. — 2 years ago

Gavarini Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

Light & floral with bright cherries, violets, crushed red currants plus a whiff of spice & tree. Ram. There’s also a hint of dried Mandarine peel. Very enticing.
On the palate this is quite light, very juicy, wo the great energy & flow. The acidity is bright & lively, the tannins present but juicy and very fine. Nicely focused and with pure, fresh red fruit, crushed rock, brilliant drinkability.
Great value for money. The bottle empties dangerously fast!
