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

"A sleek and firm Barolo with walnut, plum and cedar character on the nose and palate. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. Very fine textured." 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

"Beautiful, lustrous ruby. Fantastic, exotically savoury spice nose with notes of pure cherry and cranberry fruit. With aeration increasingly lifted and perfumed. There is concentration of fruit on the palate as well as fine integrated acidity that peaks at the finish together with fine crunchy tannins. Elegant." Jancis Robinson

"The 2015 Barolo Cascina Nuova is a very pretty entry-level offering from Elvio Cogno. Bright red berry and lifted floral notes pair nicely with the wine's gracious, mid-weight feel. Silky tannins match the wine's finely sculpted, saline-infused personality. The Cascina Nuova is a terrific example of the bright, taut Barolos made here in 2015." Antonio Galloni

"Entrancingly deep, red and blue-rose aromas here with an ethereal, dried-leaf and herb edge and pristine red cherries. The palate has very impressive, fine and tight tannins and a fresh, pure core of red-cherry and plum flavor. Impeccably focused finish." James Suckling

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

"Lovely aromas of cedar, smoke and dried strawberries. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Linear and tight. Very well done for the vintage." James Suckling

"This was a very expensive year to make wine. The team at Domenico Clerico had to deal with three devastating hail storms and were forced to use helicopters (something that is no longer allowed today) for vineyard treatments. Happily, the 2014 Barolo seems to have moved past its difficult birth. Tasted today at this young stage in its evolution, the wine is steady and intense with lovely berry tones that rise delicately to the top. The mouthfeel is also richer and more complete than I expected. The blend is 90% Nebbiolo from Ginestra and 10% from Mosconi." Robert Parker

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

"The tar and roses are certainly here on the nose with ripe fruit, too. Full-bodied, dense and chewy with beautiful fruit and length. Chewy, polished and compact. Needs two or three years to soften." James Suckling

Barolo Albe ist mit Tabak-, Veilchen- und Beerentönen sehr vielschichtig und facettenreich im Bouquet. Tief und anhaltend am Gaumen mit eleganter Tanninstruktur und angenehmer Säureader, lang anhaltend. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intensiv-dunkles Rubinrot mit funkelndem Kern. Tiefsinnige und vielschichtige Nase nach dunklen Brombeeren, reifen Amarenakirschen, im Nachhall leicht nach Schießpulver. Breitet sich schön am Gaumen aus, hat gut integrierte Säure und feinmaschiges Tannin, bleibt lange und fruchtig im Finale." Falstaff

"Cherry, leather, spice and leafy underbrush flavors walk the line between sweet fruit and bitter tannins. Finds balance in concert with the delicate frame. Fine length." Wine Spectator

"A tribute to local tradition, the 2014 Barolo Albe represents an assembly of fruit from various vineyard plots throughout the area. Winemaking is classic in approach with a 25-day maceration period and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. This vintage shows silky, fine lines and a more accessible approach for near and medium-term drinking" Robert Parker

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

Barolo Albe stammt aus drei Parzellen: Fossati, Castello della Volta und Costa di Vergne. Die 2015er Ausgabe ist ein echter Hingucker. Brillant und fein geformt am Gaumen, besticht er vom ersten Geschmack an. Ausdrucksstarke, blumige Noten verschmelzen zu leuchtend roten Früchten, Minze und gemahlenen Beeren in einem lebendigen, markanten Barolo, der mit purer Energie und Klasse ausgestattet ist. Wie in allen guten Jahren ist Barolo Albe saftig und fruchtig und ist wie jedes Jahr aufgrund seines vergleichsweise moderaten Preises ein klarer Kauf! SUPERIORE.DE

"Elegant and pure aromas on the nose. Sour cherry, rose petals on the palate with a clean and long finish." Decanter

"The 2015 Barolo Albe is a soft, open-knit wine that will drink well upon release. Bright and lifted, with plenty of red cherry fruit and floral notes, the Albe captures the essence of the Vajra house style nicely. This is a terrific entry-level Barolo, not to mention one of the finest values in Piedmont." Antonio Galloni

Ein moderner Barolo: würzig, stark und lang, mit reifem Fruchtbouquet und Aromen von Waldboden, Pfeffer, Minze und Rauch, im Geschmack trocken, vollmundig, robust, samtig und lang. SUPERIORE.DE

Brillantes Rubinrot, in der Nase ein vollreifes Beerenbouquet mit warmer Würz-, Pilz- und Kakaonote. Am Gaumen reich und saftig mit süßem Eichenholz und üppiger Frucht. Ravera Riserva 2012 mündet in einem festen Abschluss, in dem sich abermals die reife Frucht und ein poliertes Tannin zeigen. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Perfumed cherry and sweet raspberry with malty notes ad wet, dark earth and spice - perhaps this has seen a little new oak? full sour cherry palate completely filling out the palate , but still a little embryonic. Lots of polished coating tannins framing the ripe, supple fruit. Can already be approached, but a steak should be taken into account." Jancis Robinson

"Aromas of fresh mushrooms, blueberries and plums with orange peel follow through to a full body with layers of ripe tannins and fruit. A long and flavorful finish. Loads going on here still. Just starting to come around." James Suckling

Barolo Castiglione ist der preiswerteste der fünf Barolo des Hauses und demonstriert eindrucksvoll das hohe Niveau Viettis. Er beginnt seinen großen Auftritt mit dichten Aromen von getrockneten Kirschen, Pflaumen und Teer und fügt dann Noten von weißen Blumen und Gewürzen an. Es folgen mineralische Schattierungen und Erinnerungen an Rauchfleisch. Am Gaumen ebenso vielschichtig und komplex, griffig die seidigen Tannine. Er besitzt bereits in jüngeren Jahren eine feine Frucht und Finesse, die ihn als einen der herausragenden Vertreter der Appellation identifiziert. SUPERIORE.DE

"An array of berries and cherries with a floral sheen. Bright and attractive. The palate has a layer more than most, offering sour cherries and tangy, cherry-pip flavors in a supple, balanced style." James Suckling

"This is a terrific and flexible expression of Nebbiolo that can adopt to almost any dinner party setting. The 2014 Barolo Castiglione was designed for people who want to enjoy Barolo in an easy and direct manner. This Barolo is offered at higher production numbers, although this vintage is comparatively smaller. On average they make anywhere from 44,000 to 53,000 bottles, but in 2014 only 35,000 bottles were produced. The bouquet here is generous and broad with dark fruit, spice and tar. You even get a touch of citrus or dried orange peel. The mouthfeel is a bit thinner and more delicate in this vintage. Yet the tannins leave a firm footprint and promise a good aging future ahead." Robert Parker

"The 2014 Barolo Castiglione is superb. Nuanced, layered and sculpted in the glass, the Castiglione is a wine of real precision and class. In 2014, the Castiglione is medium in body and gracious, with perhaps a bit less stuffing than in some previous editions, but tons of persistence. Hints of lavender, rose petal and red berry fruit lead into the crystalline, translucent finish. Time in the glass brings out this gorgeous Barolo's more refined side. Once again, the Castiglione is a real overachiever. The Castiglione is built on a core of Ravera, with a complement of fruit from other sites that are often vineyard-designated by other producers." Antonio Galloni
