Mosconi Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Last tasted 10.02.24 (9.1). This definitely picked up steam. Medium-heavy body. Occupying an interesting space in bringing some structure but more fruit/voluptuousness than expected from the region. Rated same vintage, same producer Cannubi effort a 9.5 but that was even more over the top. This has slightly more restraint and, priced at $90 a bottle resto cost, is better value. Wouldn't expect to age this vintage the usual 20-30 years for Barolo as it's currently a PNP. Would pick up three bottles...one for now. One to drink in 2035 and another to crack in 2050 for giggles. 02.07.25. — 3 months ago

Sangiovese 2022

I think this and the produttori langhe are the two most consistent entry level examples of Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, respectively. Both are $25 or less. Well worth it every year. This takes some air to open up the full breadth of red cherry and other aromas. Nice linearity and acid. Dangerously easy to keep drinking. — 2 months ago

Superiore Barbera d'Alba 2022

2022 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Excellent punch, richness and drinkability. Medium-medium heavy body with a sustained fruity finish. $29 resto cost a bottle. Woulda picked up the last two cases available but recently committed to a few cases of another Barbera d'Alba that showed just as well. If I come across this on a resto list, I'll hit it. 02.07.25. — 3 months ago

Conca Tre Pile Barbera d'Alba 2021

2021 vintage. A bit of everything. Esteemed producer. Excellent nose. Front-palate richness. Mid-palate power and presence. Pleasantly astringent and beyond substantial finish. I usually eschew Barbera d'Alba for the resto list but couldn't deny this one. Picked up two cases and may pick up more to have laying around for 1.5-2 years. At the ridiculous resto price of $26.67, I can't afford not to. So delicious. 01.29.25. — 3 months ago

Via Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. The "safe spot" in the current lineup. Verry approachable vintage for Barolo and this effort comes the closest to upholding usual expectations. Medium body. Some earth/dirt. Fruit apparent but not nearly the oodles cascading over the infinity juice pool as from this producer's 2020 Cannubi or Mosconi efforts. Structure solidly in place. Delicious. $80 resto cost. 02.07.25. — 3 months ago
