Tar and blackberries descend within a rain of fine ashes, black lime and basil. Graphite and concrete seem to encircle. There is a residual whiff of grilled bone and the expected black rose petals. Licorice, black cherry, a creamy chocolate texture, an explosive grilled citrus and black lime that becomes black currant and dry graphite with dried black olive delicately rolled in phyllo-thin layers to reveal expressive, cotton-like tannins that linger in tea leaf voluptuousness! My absolute favorite Langhe Nebbiolo! #CascinaChicco #langhenebbiolo #Langhe #Nebbiolo #piedmontesewines #piedmonte #babybarolo #realwine #tannin — 7 years ago
Delicious with linguine aglio olio with truffles #Piedmonte — 8 years ago
Drank over 2 days, very floral and tight on day 1 with notes of roasted orange peel, cherry and dried anise star. Very tannic throughout, with high acidity. Textbook, old school Piedmont eye red, not for everyone ut of you like traditional Barolo and less oak this is in your wheelhouse. A huge value too at $20. #piedmonte #mascarello — 9 years ago

#barbera I really enjoyed this wine. The tannins were so smooth and glyceric. We drank the bottle without hardly winking an eye. #piedmonte — 9 years ago
Herbaceous near smoke-point olive oil and bamboo shoots with a thin lemon juice on wet, river rock silhouette. The palate is full, siphoning into a barely perceptible tingle, adding buoyancy. Clean and delicious with shrimp in a homemade tomato cream sauce. A wiggle of the hips, a simple linen sashay, in a sunny field of white wildflower and clover. This Cortese really does it all. Curious to see it dance on the half shell. #cortese #piedmonte #italianwine — 10 years ago

What the heck is the deal with nebbiolo anyways? It never really tastes like I think it will. #nebbiolo #barolo #italianwine #piedmonte — 7 years ago
