Vines and names

"The 2020 Barolo Bricco delle Viole offers a beguiling combination of depth and energy. Dark and potent in the glass, yet also quite reticent, the 2020 is going to take a number of years to come around. Black cherry, graphite, crushed rocks, mint, sage and incense all open in the glass, but only with quite a bit of reticence. I especially like the way the 2020 opens up on its resonant,...

"The 2019 Barolo Perarmando is a very pretty, translucent wine. Crushed red berry fruit, kirsch, mint, orange peel and spice are all lacer together in this lifted, sculpted Barolo. There's terrific purity to the flavors. That said, the 2019 comes across as a touch light relative to most recent vintages, while the tannins are a bit severe..Marco and Tiziana Parusso continue to make some of...

These Nebbiolo da Barolo vines grow in La Morra, characterising the wine with elegance, finesse and a high drinking point from a young age. Barolo is the most important wine of the Langa; it is a wine that requires patience in production, but then repays the wait with the result in the glass.

On the nose, it opens up after a brief aeration to reveal notes of leather and eucalyptus, together with spicy and balsamic hints. Flavour: The perception of the drink is ample but not invasive, with a well-governed structure and a calibrated and harmonious digestion of the contribution of wood. Colour: Garnet red, tending towards orange with age.

Barolo Meriame is Serralunga d'Alba, it is power, it is structure. The expression of a terrain that is historically perfect for the cultivation of Nebbiolo. Definitely a wine that appreciates bottle ageing to soften the more austere traits of youth.

"The 2019 Barolo Cicala is classic Cicala. Bright acids and insistent tannins drive through a core of vibrant red-toned fruit, orange peel, anise, slate, chalk and white pepper. Brilliant and energetic, with tons of focus the Cicala is striking in 2019. I admire its chiseled, nervy personality. All the elements are so well balanced." Antonio Galloni

"The 2020 Barolo Cannubi is elegant, silky and nuanced. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, cinnamon and orange peel lend notable aromatic presence to this mid-weight, understated Barolo. All the elements are nicely balanced throughout. The 2020 is a pretty wine, but this a lighter style, even for Cannubi. The lighter body makes the tannins feel a touch austere. It will be interesting to see how...

"The 2018 Barolo Rupestris is usually a bigger wine than the Franco. It is again in 2018, with more fruit but also more tannin. Accordingly, it may need a bit more time to come into its own. Iron, cedar, white pepper, tobacco and blood orange give the Rupestris a level of aromatic intensity that is not always present in this wine. The 2018 is gorgeous, but it's a Rupestris that is only going...

Vigna Colonnello has an average age of 40-45 years, for the maintenance of which the plants are replanted from time to time. The Nebbiolo variety is mainly Michet and the rootstock is 420 A.

The 2020 Barolo Francia is a soaring, classically austere wine built for the cellar. Medium in body and driving, with tons of mineral intensity, the 2020 is an evocative wine that makes me think about the future. This is what young Barolo should be - vibrant and stern, but with the purity of fruit that is typical here. The 2020 is so wonderfully alive
