Silvio Giamello

Vicenziana Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2021

Here is a confession! I try very hard to quit delectable and give it up: But then the wines come along with a personal connection. I visited Silvio in the early 2000‘s and we tried his 2003. Great wine in a hot vintage. His son was born 2003. Ever since i have a soft spot for his wines. # This one is quite spectacular. Drink now it is f….great or keep for 10 years +. Classic. Sold out at Kermit Lynch. I bought just one bottle. 😢 Enough said. — 17 days ago

Well I will stay. After these very nice comments. But seriously I like the reviews the folks post on this app they are much better than Vivino.. Reasons. 1.) I am getting up there in age and although this might sound silly drinking is just harder on your body. 2.) This makes it more difficult to sample through a lot of wines - spitting is not my thing! - unless i sample 10+ wines. 3.) I got pretty much into the habit of a glass every night. Not necessarily a good thing.

Nose has candied pineapple, very ripe nectarine, straw bale, white/yellow flowers and lemon peel.

Palate has tangerine zest, Mandarin orange slice, under-ripe peach, wet river rocks, slightly waxy texture with a short finish.

Decanted 2H.
A quite youthful bottle, revisit 2026+

On point with the Spätlese style connection per Vinous comments.

Paired to Chicken Adobo (Milk Street recipe) and I'm convinced that coconut milk ingredient dishes are a perfect match to Riesling. — 4 years ago

As other writers have commented, this takes a long time to open up! Give it 5 or 6 hours..

Interesting nose, and could easily mistake it for a Sangiovese. Hazelnuts, almond.

Medium bodied with pomegranate, dried cherry, a touch of quince, the tannins from the fruit is still so much larger than that of the barrel it is aged in, giving that true connection to old world wine.
A touch of acid and lip smacking tannin.
The label has the lot and date stamped on it. — 4 years ago

Another SUPER super Tuscan. Great dark fruit and spice. 10 years a good time to drink, but could easily sit for a few more years. Made more interesting to me with the Calgary connection. First tried at Bonterra (miss it) 12 years ago. Love it and the higher end offerings. — 5 years ago
