Barolo del Comune di Verduno Nebbiolo

Not fair to rate cause it was that time of the night. 🥴 Elegant. Nebbiolo through and through.

Same as last note. Really liked this with mushroom risotto.

Young but with a decant is delicious. Candied red cherry and, savory herbs. Not a huge barolo and light and ethereal.

This is Fratelli Alessandria’s Comune di Verduno, and vintage is 2021. This is an elegant Barolo showing beautifully after some time in the glass. Cherry and strawberry preserves wrapped in anise, tar, and cloves. Tannins still have a very slight grippiness towards the finish, but more than manageable. Paired perfectly with ribeye, but was even good on day 2 with scrambled eggs finished with truffle butter and parmesan with a side of asparagus.

12/25 - light weight Barolo. Unremarkable 83

12-25 light and unremarkable 82

This 2020 is exquisite. Perfect with the meatball and tagliatelle dish and calamari salad. Elegant complex restrained light aromatic contemplative. Everything I was looking for for tonight. About $65 retail.

Slow wine tasting. Modern barolo. Very dark
