Wine pairing alert— or really an alert about the alert: a five yro Mocato D’Asti ( by an esteemed Barolo maker) paired with… a softly stinky, washed rind, soft, French style ( but from Connecticut) cheese. The Moscato was frothy, perky, & not too fruity to meet the cheese everywhere it went. Enough acid cut. And why wasn’t I doing this more previously? Yum. — a month ago

A great Italian red, made by the same people as Barolo. Shhh, it’s a secret! — 2 years ago

The aroma has a better lift than Oddero Villero and Serio Borgogno 2017, because of higher acidities and lighter material. — 5 years ago

Figli Luigi Oddero, the Barolo producer in La Morra currently markets one Barbareso and all of the fruit comes from approximately 5 acres of vines they own in the Rombone MGA in Treiso.

Popped and poured. The 2018 “Rombone” pours a light ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, this is developing and already very pretty with Luxardo cherry, pomegranate, red flowers, dried earth and mild spices. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and grippy. A lovely Barbaresco showing the elegance and juiciness of the vintage. Drink now and through 2038.

Medium garnet color with a slight pink meniscus. Aromas of anise, tar, dried rose petals and black cherry jam. Flavors of dark cherry, blackberry and bramble berry fruit, black licorice, tobacco and mushrooms. Hints of minerals and baking spices on the long finish. Mouth watering acidity. Full bodied and firm but the tannins are beautifully integrated. Wonderful structure and complexity. Sincerely appreciate Petey and Kasey for sharing this wonderful bottle. — 4 months ago

Consistent notes, if not better after a two-hour decant. A house Barolo?? — a year ago

This is how a Lange should taste. Juice well integrated tannins, well balanced. And impressively long — 5 years ago

Does not have the energy and the range of the 2010 and the completeness of the 2016. It does not have the magic of Bartolo, the class of Oddero, and the clarity and transparency of Roagna, but if you delight in delicate refinement, there is nothing like Cavalotto. — 5 years ago
