Barbera Trediberri Alba Piedmont

Fontanafredda

Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

More than a 1000 review of this wine, I feel like I'm coming late to the party 😅
The nose felt a bit oxydized at first but it blew up after a while. Then came red cherry, wet forest soil, mushrooms, soy sauce, black tea, almond... Wow the complexity of that nose... The palate is marked by a great acid drive, some fruit, with cherry notes, some tea touches, a good width with some matter and almost a meaty thing, some rather harsh and drying tannins (as one could expect) before a long, very long, meaty, juicy, tannic finish that goes on and on and on. A bit more textual and meaty than I expected, a good experience of a cru barolo that I'd like to revisit in other vintages.

Great note @Daniel M . One minor detail: this is a blend of crus from their holdings in Serralunga. If you’re interested in trying their single MGA expressions, look for Vigna La Rosa, Vigna La Delizia, Proprieta Fontanafredda and Vigna La Villa

First time trying old Ferrando. Showing a lot of secondary along with a core of vibrant fruit. Epic. Hope to try again someday. — 11 days ago

Vigneto Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Quite light garnet , wide terracotta rim , more delicate and lighter than expected . High toned sweet , confected spiced strawberry nose, with a slightly smoky hint. On the palate sweet red strawberry , raspberry and red cherry notes , touches of spice and anis , but elegant and silky in texture , with very fine , rounded tannins and fresh acidity . This has good length , detailed and precise finish with anis , fruit pastels and almost chalky hints . Elegant and refined. Very distinctive, really quite unique in style , but very well made and enjoyable at the moment . Drink from now for the next 5-10 years. — 6 days ago

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Ruby with a rich bouquet of fruit, spices and floral notes, fruit from several vineyards, vinified and aged separately. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of pepper, cinnamon and floral. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with earthy notes. Enjoyable now, a few more years will benefit. — 9 days ago

Tre Vigne Barbera d'Asti 2022

This is now the “Trevie” @Delectable though it’s been called “Tre Vigne” in the past? Dark red fruits and fine grained tannins that are well balanced. Italian to the core. Hard to go wrong with this producer. 14.5% abv. but wears it well. — 19 days ago

Cascina Francia Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

Quite light ruby , wide garnet , terracotta rim . Fruit forward , with red cherry , strawberry , rose , pomegranate with sweet spices , anis . On the palate lovely sweet cherry , strawberry , light red fruits , crunchy with quite fresh acidity . Polished and sweet , but very present tannins , this is still very young. Saline and sweet spice tinged finish , good length. This is drinking well, however is still very fruit driven and just improved throughout the evening . From now but will improve over the next 5-10 years and last well a further 10, especially in magnum. — 12 days ago

DaGromis Barolo Nebbiolo 2014

Pretty much all tertiary tonight. Started more aromatic than the two Barbarescos but also seemed more earthy, maybe even a hint of Brett and funk. Tar, chocolate, spice, wet leaves. — 2 days ago
