Barolo 2016
Clerico
The opulence and intensity is impressive on the nose from the beginning, showing plums, ripe strawberries, mushrooms and smoked meat. It’s full-bodied and chewy with a tight, focused palate of ripe fruit and chewy tannins. Compact and tight. Give this time, please.

Barolo 2016
Elio Altare
The Wine exudes darkness and rich concentration with blackberry aromas that are followed by spice, tar and campfire ash. It ages in barrique for two years, and only 20% of that oak is new. These results are open-knit and accessible, revealing velvety texture and black fruit flavors.

Poderi Aldo Conterno
Barolo Bussia Cicala DOCG 2015
Poderi Aldo Conterno
Cicala is my top choice in 2014. The Wine shows a pure and enduring mouthfeel with salty or saline minerality that makes it such a pleasure to drink. The Wine boasts a direct and vertical delivery of aromas, with cassis and dried raspberry that burst to the top with brightness. Cicala is a more direct and focused expression next to Colonnello, which tends to be more broad and horizontal instead.

Barolo Bussia DOCG 2015
Poderi Aldo Conterno
The 2015 Barolo Bussia is painted in the broadest of brush strokes when compared to the other Wines tasted this year, which each hail from their own specific micro cru within the larger Bussia vineyard. This makes sense, because this Wine sees fruit sourced from a much wider net. You do get a great sense of the vintage intensity and succulence with pretty layers of sweet fruit, rose, tilled earth and delicate button mushroom.

Poderi Aldo Conterno
Barolo Bussia Romirasco DOCG 2015
Poderi Aldo Conterno
shows the exuberant nature of the warm vintage with a joyous and beautifully ripe quality of fruit. This vintage underlines the concept of abundance and texture, although you could correctly conclude that it is less forthcoming in terms of linearity and depth. However, my hunch is that this broader and denser vintage will age just as gracefully over time as the thinner, cooler and more ethereal ones. Dark fruit, smoke, tar and tobacco appear on the finish here.

Barolo Cannubi 2016
Elio Altare
This is a passion project very much spearheaded by Elio's rambunctious and curly-haired daughter Silvia Altare. The 2016 Barolo Cannubi represents a beautiful departure in the family portfolio. Within this collection of new releases, the Cannubi best articulates the purity of the Nebbiolo grape.

Barolo di Serralunga Falletto 2015
Falletto di Bruno Giacosa
Superb aromas of ripe fruit such as plums and berries with peaches and tar. Very intense. Full body, great depth and density. Incredible richness and power with superb length and persistence. One of the most dense and vertical Falletos I have tasted.

Poderi Aldo Conterno
Barolo Grand Bussia Riserva DOCG 2010
Poderi Aldo Conterno
The Granbussia by Aldo Conterno is a symbol of Piedmont, one of the most famous and prestigious Barolo Riserva, born from the oldest and best vineyards of Bussia cru and aged for 9 years in big oak barrels and in bottle. It is very rich, intense and deep, charcaterized by perfumes of fruits, leatherm chocolate and many sweet spicy, by a great power and a remarkable elegance. Glorious aromas of roses and other flowers with blackberries and ripe plums. Spectacular. Perfection. Full-bodied, firm and chewy with polished and tight tannins. Slightly dusty. Great length and beauty. Very, very persistent on the palate. Needs another two or three years to soften, but already a classic.
