Mint from a tomato salad shifted this into another gear. An excellent producer we visited at harvest 2023. — 5 months ago

With enough age and air to hit on all cylinders. A bit of VA on day 2 and it elevates it even more. — 10 months ago

@Jay Kline haven’t tried many MGA barbarescos, but this sure was impressive. It certainly showed me there is a world beyond the consistently good Produttori.

@Jae Cho There sure is! Other MGA’s in Nieve to keep an eye out for are Currá (which is right next to Cottá) and Sottimano makes a great example; Albesani; Gallina; Bricco di Nieve; and then arguably the most famous of all, Serraboella. Obviously, experience with Produttori’s Riservas is like a “greatest hits” of MGA’s within Barbaresco del Barbaresco but it’s also worth seeking out examples from Pajè; Roccalini; and of course the incomparable Roncagliette. Aside from Vallegrande and Rombone, I have less experience in Trieso and really no experience in Barbaresco di Alba.

La Rocca Piemonte Cortese 2021

8.9

One of the more unique bouquets I have encountered in a while. The Albino Rocca, Cortese “La Rocca” gives a striking impression of Fruit by the Foot, dried mango slices, those dusted orange candies that come in the small tins…you get the idea. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+(?) acid. Fun and a nice change of pace but I think I would need the right time and place for me to be really compelled. Drink now — 2 years ago
