Dolcetta d'Alba 2019

Ne plus ultra of Dolcetto? Violets and roses. A not unpleasant touch of reduction (tar, asphalt). Silky. — 5 years ago

Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2003

Spicy dried red fruits with a touch of tar underneath, I detect that this 2003 is a touch more structured and tannic than the great 2000 I had a few days ago, long finish, great acid, still quite fresh (plus 12.5% ABV), excellent!! — 2 months ago

Toetto Langhe Freisa 2021

An experience. Intense morello and crimson fruit with lithe structure and a mushroomy edge. Memorable meal. — 9 months ago

Marcarini Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1982

This is gorgeous. A soft edged nose with red and black cherry, dried roses. On the palate this is gorgeous and soft. The fruit is delicate and focused. Tobacco and soft wood notes come through later in the midpalate. Very classy and in great shape right now. — 4 years ago

Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2000

Floral, tarry, delicate candied red fruits as well, great acidity and balance, likely very close to fully mature, but the combination of delicacy and depth is intoxication, great old Spanna!! — 2 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, I agree, I haven’t seen these in the marketplace much, I just posted on a 2003, and also have a few bottles of 1996 Boca left. But, your quality assessment is spot on!!

Excellent cooler-climate styled Nebbiolo. Great acidity, texture and length. Nice herbal / black tea undertones with cherry fruit on top. Yum. — 10 months ago

Very nice, more Amarone like than Nebbiolo in my mind. Nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Grippy tannins. — 4 years ago
