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). — 3 months ago

Wow - first wine by Giacomo conterno and I see why this producer is hailed as one of the legends of Piedmonte. This required a few hours of air in decanter and was singing - the nose was utterly amazing with layered florals. Full body and a seemless experience on the palate - this has the structure to continue evolving for a few more years in bottle but I see no reason to wait! — 2 months ago

Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.

Beautiful nose of flowers, raspberries, earth, light herbs, light wood and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity and a harsh mouthfeel.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Single Vineyard Barolo feels big and robust, but looks lighter than it feels. Very tasty though.

The 2019 Barolo vintage is less approachable now, but it's only going to get better from this point.

Needs a few years to mature in the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. A good food wine right now.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 3 years.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$150. — 3 months ago

Opened too young; lovely and exceptionally made wine. Brickish red/brown. I let decant for a loooong time. Lots of cranberry and red fruit, some herbs, clay, faint cedar and tobacco. The acidity was med-high, but the tannins really softened out with aeration. I'd say this is still developing flavors and will be 95+ in a decade. — a month ago

Whoa, a bargain baby. Although it shows some edges, time will tell how they resolve. A touch of VA on the nose took a sec to blow off, then it screamed of red fruit and smoldering tar. The tar thankfully went from smoldering to sparking off here and there, but then the earth, wow, this is earthy, but still, the fruit dominates. The palate nails the Nebbiolo high amounts of everything (acid, alcohol, tannins structure). But the tannins play fairly, a highlight accessory, not a scene stealer. The tannic grip hangs on but in tandem with fruit and soil into which rose petals may have fallen last spring. I can’t believe the price on this bebe. — 6 months ago
