Massolino

Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90min. The 2019 “Serralunga d’Alba” pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with beautiful notes of red and black fruit: Morello cherry, fresh raspberries, pomegranate, orange zest, fresh cut red roses, talcum powder, tar and dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Massolino is on a roll! Drink now with patience through 2044+. — 22 days ago

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

This wine is medium garnet in color.

On the nose & palate are deeply concentrated notes of dried fig, prune, plum, blackcurrant, black cherry, juicy pomegranate, wild strawberry preserves, black licorice, anise, fennel, clove, cardamom, acrylic, balsamic, violet, rose, potpourri, forest floor, potting soil, black tea, & crushed gravel…

This wine has high acidity & tannins, which are fine & integrated with the deeply concentrated aromas & flavors.

The finish lingers. This wine is excellent and holding up beautifully with runway ahead of it still.

@Dave Clinton Nebbiolo is one of our absolute favorite grapes — as a Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe, Valtellina… we love it all. And this wine was firing on all cylinders. So beautiful, brooding (dark fruit, spice), & layered. Yum! I’ll bet your Frenchies were delicious, too!!!!! Cheers, Dave! 🍷

Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

ジュゼッペマスカレッロ バローロ モンプリヴァート 2004
今が2025年なので、21年前のワイン。

色はガーネット色になっていないように見える。
香りも熟成的なニュアンスはなく、とてもきれい。

飲んでみると、ドライローズ?アセロラ?

ネッビオーロとは思えない香り。ドルチェットもドルチェットらしからぬ香りだったが、その時と同じ香りがする。ジュゼッペマスカレッロ香とも言うべき香りなのか。。。

タンニンは完全に溶け込んでいて、澄み切ったというか、透明感のある果実味。
軽やかだが、緻密で焦点があった感じがする。
エレガントというかとにかく優しく繊細。
ブラインドではバローロ と言えないと思う。
唯一無二のワイン。

ちなみに、最後にオリも一切なし。本当に21年前のワインだったのだろうか。。。
