Barolo

Der Barolo Paesi Tuoi wurde nach dem Roman von Cesare Paveses "Unter Bauern" von 1941 benannt. Weiter, warmer Duft nach Sauerkirschen, Leder und Minze. Der ausdrucksstarke Geschmack harmonisch einnehmend mit seidigen Tanninen. Ein sauber vinifizierter, genussreifer Barolo mit Potenzial. (superiore.de)

"Aromas and flavors of ripe fruit, white pepper and spices. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

Barolo Essenze besteht aus einer Traubenkollektion von sechs verschiedenen Weinbergen: Bussia in Monforte, Annunziata in La Morra, Ravera in Novello, La Volta in Barolo, Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto und Gianetto in Serralunga. Der Wein zeigt ein makelloses Rubinrot und einen Duft mit vielfältigen Aromen von Lakritz- und Röstnoten. Souverän und üppig der Geschmack mit edlem Tannin im Finale. (superiore.de)

"Ein Barolo der  Spit­zen­klasse. Duftig in der Nase mit einem Bouquet von dunklen Beeren, Süßla­kritz, Herbst­laub, dahinter ein robuster Körper mit feinem, reifen Tannin und leben­diger Säure, am Gaumen druck­voll und mund­fül­lend, ausge­wogen und in sich stimmig." Dr. Jens Priewe (weinkenner.de)

"Leuchtendes Granatrot. Duftende Nase nach roten Rosen, Kirschen und Pflaumen, sehr einladend mit würzigem Hauch nach Süßholz. Von Anfang an sehr zugänglich, harmoniert gekonnt zwischen Frucht und Säure, baut sich zurückhaltend auf, aber endet in einem wohligen Finale." Falstaff

"Aromas of dark fruit and hints of tea. Medium body, fine tannins and a fruity finish. Very pretty. Tight center palate." James Suckling

Leuchtendes Rubingranat, intensives Bouquet mit Noten nach Lakritze und Teer, dann Rosenduft und Kirschen. Am Gaumen mit sehr feinen Tanninen, würzig, delikat und zugleich sehr satt und klar, lang im Finale. (superiore.de)

"The 2012 Barolo Cascina Nuova is striking for its aromatic lift and overall palate presence. Freshly cut flowers, hard candy, sweet red berries, mint, spices and white pepper are some of the signatures. Delicate and sensual throughout, the 2012 offers gorgeous complexity to match its deceptively understated personality. This is a gorgeous Barolo from Elvio Cogno." Antonio Galloni

"Though elegant, this red shows textbook rose, cherry and tar flavors, with well-integrated tannins offering support. Bright and juicy, presenting a lingering finish." Wine Spectator

Dunkles Granatrot mit schönen Reflexen. Aromen von Kirsche, Erdbeere, Eukalyptus, Tabak und Gewürzen. Ein wunderbar ausbalancierter Wein aus Frucht, feinem Säuregerüst und geschliffenem Tannin. Für uns einer der besten Vertreter seines Jahrgangs! (superiore.de)

"This evokes aromas of mint, menthol and cherry, picking up leather and tobacco flavors toward the finish. Firmly structured, yet long and athletic, this winds down with hints of coffee, iron and leather." Wine Spectator

"The aromas to this are so beautiful with ripe strawberry, dried lemon and flowers. Full body, dense palate of lots of ripe fruit and a long and flavorful finish. A top wine for the vintage." James Suckling

"The 2013 Barolo San Giuseppe is a dark, brooding wine. Black cherry, hard candy, leather, herbs, smoke and licorice add to an impression of masculine power. Medium in body, with good depth and terrific balance, the San Giuseppe is another compelling wine from Pecchenino. The 2013 is a bit wild and exotic, but it has so much to say." Antonio Galloni

Waldfrüchte im Bouquet, dazu Tusche, Tabak und Enzian. Der saftige, volle Geschmack wird durch samtene Tannine von nur sehr geringer Adstringenz unterstützt und durchläuft im Glas eine großartige Entwicklung, die schon heute begeistert. (superiore.de)

"The fact that Domenico Clerico has re-introduced its base Barolo is great news. The 2012 Barolo is a beautifully rich and generous wine that pulls out the best of the Nebbiolo grape (sourced mostly from the Ginestra vineyard) and the opulent style of winemaking that defines Domenico Clerico. There is a good amount of oak present, but the way it is integrated is always a source of stylistic inspiration. Dark fruit and blackberry preserves segue to cinnamon, sweet smoke and grilled herb." Robert Parker

"Love the aromas of black truffles and dark fruits that follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Spicy and rich." James Suckling

Barolo Vigneto Garretti duftet einladend floral nach kleinen, weißen Blüten, Beeren und Gewürzen. Am Gaumen Frische, mittlerer Körper und feste Tannine, man spürt das große Potenzial. Barolo Garretti ist ein Wein von den Hängen des La Spinetta-Anwesens in Grinzane Cavour. Zuvor wurden diese Trauben im Barolo Campé verwendet. (superiore.de)

"Lots of sweet tobacco leaves, rose petals and dried-strawberry character. Full body, velvety tannins and a fruity, smoky and light earth finish. Dense and unique." James Suckling

"The 2013 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is soft, succulent and open-knit, all qualities that make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry, plum, cinnamon, leather, mint and French oak overtones give the wine its opulent, flamboyant personality. The 2013 spent 18 months in mostly neutral oak." Antonio Galloni

"A savory, floral-scented red, this displays rose, wild thyme, juniper, eucalyptus and cherry flavors. There’s fine grip, but this is balanced overall, with excellent length and a savory, spicy aftertaste." Wine Spectator

 "This opens with aromas of underbrush, scorched soil, leather, iris and a balsamic note. The ripe, full-bodied palate offers juicy raspberry, licorice, mature black cherry and a hint of tobacco alongside firm, velvety tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Barolo Albe ist mit Tabak-, Veilchen- und Beerentönen sehr vielschichtig und facettenreich im Bouquet. Tief und anhaltend am Gaumen mit eleganter Tanninstrukktur und angenehmer Säureader, lang anhaltend. (superiore.de)

"Recht dunkles Rot; fruchttief, auch holzwürzig; kraftvoll, recht herb vom Ansatz weg, auch fruchtig, saftig, recht lang." Merum

"Enticing aromas of wild berry, pine forest, aromatic herbs, iris and a hint of leather emerge on this full-bodied red. The bold, chewy palate delivers crunchy red berry, anise white pepper, clove and sage alongside youthfully assertive tannins and bright acidity. The ripe fruit seamlessly supports the hefty alcohol level." Wine Enthusiast

"A mix of eucalyptus, cherry, leafy and tar aromas and flavors are allied to a moderately firm structure in this balanced red. The finish is long and walks the line between fresh cherry, spice and earth notes." Wine Spectator

Barolo Albe ist mit Tabak-, Veilchen- und Beerentönen sehr vielschichtig und facettenreich im Bouquet. Tief und anhaltend am Gaumen mit eleganter Tanninstrukktur und angenehmer Säureader, lang anhaltend. (superiore.de)

"Vajra's 2013 Barolo Albe is beautifully perfumed, sensual and expressive in this vintage, with a bit less overt fruit and more aromatic/structural intensity than is often the case. The style of the Albe has always favored a more succulent expression of Nebbiolo that is quite different from the single-vineyard wines, but the 2013 suggests Vajra may be moving the Albe closer in line stylistically to their other Barolos, which I think is a positive. In any event, there is an element of restraint in the 2013 that is hugely appealing. The Albe is a blend of fruit from Fossati, Coste di Vergne and La Volta aged in 75 hectoliter casks. The Albe may be the single best value in Barolo today. As for the 2013, don't miss it!" Antonio Galloni

"Aromas of fresh-cut hay and grass shade the flavors of cherry, black currant, violet and tobacco in this elegant, taut red. A little compact now on the finish, yet should stretch out with some age." Wine Spectator

Boscareto aus Serralunga d'Alba duftet intensiv nach Leder und Lakritz, Trockenblumen und Unterholz, geradlinig verfolgt der runde, duftentsprechende Geschmack seinen Weg ins anhaltende Finale. (superiore.de)

"A red with strawberry, cherry and shaved-chocolate character. Very delicate and subtle. Medium body, fine tannins and a lightly austere finish." James Suckling

"Forest floor, porcini mushroom, truffle, moist soil, red berry, sage, mocha and leather sensations all emerge on this young wine. It’s still tightly tannic and brooding so give it time to unwind." Wine Enthusiast

"From a beautifully balanced vintage that saw a long growing season (something Nebbiolo loves), the 2010 Barolo Boscareto is a great near or medium-term drinking option. The wine presents a steady flow of dark berry, spice and button mushroom aromas. The finish is linear and focused with savory notes of grilled herb and cured bresaola on the close." Robert Parker

Barolo Brunate - Cru aus La Morra - zeigt die charakteristische Kraft und Definition seines Terroirs. Die dunkle Frucht ist umhüllt von Schokolade und exotischen Gewürzen, feste Tannine und feine Eichenholznuancen geben zusammen mit der straffen Säureader Länge und Langlebigkeit. (superiore.de)

"A wine with watermelon, plum and peach character. Full body, chewy tannins and a pretty depth of ripe fruit." James Suckling

"It starts with an alluring fragrance of rose, forest floor, and cake spices. The vibrant, subtle palate doles out crunchy red cherry lightly accented with notes of clove and cinnamon alongside silky tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Die Trauben für den granatroten Cerequio gedeihen in La Morra. Das Bouquet präsentiert sich unverwchselbar balsamisch nach  frischen Blumen, mit würzigen Noten und der Erinnerung an Weihrauch. Am Gaumen harmoniet die delikate Fruchtfülle mit einer eleganten Aromatik von Tabak und Kaffee. Sehr lang und schön ausgewogen. (superiore.de)

"A dense, rich red with blackberry, minerals, dried mushroom and bark. Full-bodied, firm and chewy but delicate and refined. Tangy acidity." James Suckling

"Crushed flower, leather, menthol and balsamic aromas meld together. The bright palate displays dense black cherry marinated in spirits, licorice and thyme alongside solid tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2010 Barolo Cerequio is a focused and streamlined wine that offers tight structural firmness and good persistence. This wine shows a fine and elegant side of the Cerequio cru; it has moderate intensity but lasting flavors nonetheless. This wine could be consumed now with roasted meat topped with truffle, or you could put it aside in your cellar for a few more years." Robert Parker
