Nebbiolo
2016 Diego Conterno - Barolo
A firm, lightly chewy Barolo with cherry, walnut and chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, savory and long. Shows intensity and focus. Better after 2022.
2015 Einaudi - Barolo Bussia
2015 L. Einaudi - Barolo Cannubi
A beautiful sense of resolve on the first impression with perfectly ripe red cherries taking center stage on the nose.
2016 Einaudi - Barolo Costa Grimaldi
A ripe, layered Barolo with lots of dried strawberry, blueberry and floral aromas and flavors. It is rather more flamboyant red for this producer. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.
2016 Einaudi - Barolo Bussia

2017 Einaudi - Barolo Cannubi
The 2017 Barolo Cannubi is sensual and inviting from the very first taste. What the 2017 might lack in terms of structure or complexity it more than makes up for with its open, embracing personality. All the elements come together so effortlessly. Sweet r...
2017 Einaudi - Barolo Bussia
The 2017 Barolo Bussia is complex and ethereal in the glass. A whole range of floral and spiced notes give the Bussia its striking aromatic presence. Silky and harmonious, the Bussia is already very easy to enjoy. Even so, my impression is that the 2017 i...
2015 Elio Grasso - Barolo Riserva Runcot
The last time we saw this iconic wine was in 2013 (a vintage that earned a perfect score). Following up on that success, the Elio Grasso 2015 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is a generous, open-knit Nebbiolo that has much of the warmth and sunshine locked deep with...
