Cascina Boschetti Gomba – Barolo Sori DOCG
Nebbiolo is the star variety of northern Italy’s Piedmont region. Nebbiolo is an elegant variety with mouthwatering acidity and a compelling perfume of rose petals, violets, fresh tar, licorice, clay, and dried cherries. Light in color and body, Nebbiolo is a more powerful win than one might expect. Its firm tannins typically need time to mellow. With age, it develops a velvety texture and a stunningly complex bouquet.

Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Cannubi DOCG
The bouquet is intense, with some rosa canina and berry fruit spice mingled with some greenish accents with hints of leaf tobacco and alcohol. On the palate it's full and quite smooth with soft fresh berry fruit supported by lively berry fruit acidity, and by smooth sweet tannins that flow into a fairly tart finish.

Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo DOCG
Deep black almandine with black reflections. The bouquet is rich, with rosa canina and deft berry fruit supported by pleasant spice. On the palate it's full and rich, with elegant cherry fruit supported by tannins that have a lively youth to them and by deft leathery mineral acidity that flows into a dry berry fruit tannic finish. It's very young, and though one could drink it now with a steak it needs time, a couple of years, at least, and will do very impressive things in a decade or more. A wine that will be impressive if you give it time, in a fairly traditional style.

Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero DOCG
Deep black almandine with black reflections. The bouquet is young but quite impressive, with elegant spice -- nutmeg and hints of clove -- mingled with cherry prune and some rosa canina. On the palate it's rich and smooth, with powerful cherry plum fruit supported by dusky acidity and smooth sweet tannins that flow into a clean fresh berry fruit finish. Quite pleasant and will drink very well with roasts or stews.

Elio Sandri Perno Barolo
Dark and earthy with a lot of tertiary aromas. Cherries, rosehip, dried roses, balsamic, leather, menthol and damp soil. Deep and refined, not so much about the fruit. Impressively ripe tannins, proper grip and bite but not disturbing at all despite its youth. The acidity is there for aging as well so this wine will live and develop for a long time. Long finish with a distinct note of menthol that brings a wonderful freshness to the wine. Continues in a non-fruity way and finishes off with moist leaves, balsamic and figs. This is powerful stuff with depth and complexity.

Elio Sandri Perno Riserva Barolo
This 100% Nebbiolo Barolo Riserva is planted mid-slope (like Burgundy’s Grand Cru vineyards) in the Barolo Zone on a southwest- facing parcel of the Perno Hill, but is otherwise farmed the same as the Barolo but with older vines and lower yields. Fermented whole- cluster in ancient Botte wood casks, and then aged 4 years in smaller Botte, the Riserva always shows more length, especially obvious in the peacock-tail of an expansive, colorful finish. It also carries greater aging potential with a deeper structure.
