Big badass Barolo that lets you know it’s Barolo when the finish turns super velvety and your mouth starts watering.

Clear, pale ruby to garnet in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary aromas of raspberries, cherries, and roses; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, full body and pronounced primary flavors of cherry syrup, strawberries, and clay pots with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 6 months ago

Great dark cherry fruit with exposed tannins. Not much earth and tar. Great Barolo to pair with many Italian foods. — 6 years ago

What a nose. Stunning old school Nebbiolo. Maybe my favorite of all the Italian producers we carry. Rose, mineral, leather so feral and wild. Spice and mineral. Juicy, mineral man is this mineral and lovely elegant red fruits. Sappy and so fine. Excellent value. Needs 45 minutes to breathe. — 7 years ago

This is one interesting beastie. From way up north…St. Moritz not so far away. All, as I understand it, done by one Renato Motalli. 80 years of age now, no one to pass the winery on to. So…get ‘em while you may.
I aired this for 3 hrs then decanted for 90 mins…this may not have been enough, as with air the complexity keeps evolving.
On the nose, there is an aged Barolo kind of pressed, half dried Cherry mixed with damp woods kind of thing. Evolving into sweet tobacco and kirsch. At first, this wine presents much more Burgundian than northern Italian. But with time and air, a northern Italian identity comes to the fore. Chestnut Botti, huh? There’s no vanilla or wood tannin, but the man has found a way to create a living, changing wine. With a thrown together ragú , tomato, beef, blanched bacon, and lots of mushrooms it coats the palate and begs for more.
As time goes on post dinner, it’s more intriguing, soft but sharp as well.
Glad to have some more to experiment with and see if prolonged time makes a difference.
Very interesting.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. No formal notes due to the setting but yeah, this was pretty special from the beginning. I have long been a fan of Renato Ratti’s “Marscenasco” however Conca, the MGA for which they are most proud of, has been more modern in recent history, spending some time in French barrique (for the record, I lean traditionalist). On top of that, many 2009 Barolo’s have come across overblown to my palate. Yet this was sublime. Proving, once again that there is always something to learn. The fruit was 2009 powerful but balanced with acid and freshness. There was plenty tar and roses and all the tannin one should expect from Conca. Fabulous stuff. Drink now through 2044. — 6 months ago

Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, supported by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies the 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry, lively spice, well balanced with savory fine tannins on a medium+ finish ending with mineral character. — 2 months ago

Wow. This is what the new wave of lazy vin nature winemakers should be doing. No hints of mouse. Just pure fruit expression with a touch of that lovely Italian dust. Think bright, black cherries & lashings of leather. Sexy, soulful wine. — 7 years ago
