Rocche is a key site for Brovia. Not only does Brovia have a very choice parcel in the vineyard, but it’s their oldest holding and home to their oldest vines. If we were to tally up our favorite bottles of Brovia, ones from Rocche would dominate.
In terms of longevity, Cappellano's Barolos boast structures that can keep stride with the great distance runners of Piedmont, like Conterno's Monfortino and Giacosa's Red Labels.
The aging curve for Bartolo Mascarello's Barolos is epic. The 2019 will have no trouble seeing its 20th birthday.
The Tre Tine bottling is sourced from three of Barolo's top vineyards - Le Coste, San Lorenzo, and Ravera. In 2014, the Tre Tine has a pristine character and loads of aromatic complexity. There's a finessed lifted quality that really sets off the beguiling assortment of herbs, spices, and dark fruits.
Bartolo Mascarello's Barolos are legendary. They are some of the most soulful expressions of Nebbiolo that you'll ever taste.
Before wrapping up, I can't resist mentioning 2014 Colin-Morey Chassagne 1er Abbaye de Morgeot Cuvee Clement et Emma and Krug's 164th Edition, based on the incredible 2008 vintage.
Roagna managed tannins beautifully. The wines have gorgeous levity and a vivid expression of classic Nebbiolo characteristics: savory notes, herbs, and floral notes.
The 2018 Pira has a radiance and a punchy dynamic energy that's thrilling. The spectrum of flavors is jaw-dropping: layered red fruits, game, earth, tar, herbs, spice, etc. Everything is delivered with exacting precision.
Langhe Rosso is a humble designation (like Bourgogne Rouge), but Roagna's has no trouble going head-to-head with Barolos and Barbarescos.
Conterno's wines exist in their own realm. Roberto’s exacting standards focus on perfecting every little detail. The sum is an almost logic-defying profundity.
The wine has a silken quality that's married to a thrilling alpine-like briskness.
The list below contains over fifty different wines from our favorite Piedmont producers. You'll find ten offerings from Roagna and six from Bartolo Mascarello, everything from Freisa to magnums of Barolo.
What separates Conterno's Barbera from the pack is its layered power and its simultaneous buoyancy.
Out of Brovia's consistently stunning line-up of single Crus, Rocche is always the stand out.
Carema is about an hour's drive from Barolo and amounts to its alpine cousin. It's one of the most riveting and most versatile wines around.
Roagna's 2017 Pira is jaw-droppingly good. It boasts an incredible spectrum of layered red fruits, game, earth, tar, herbs, and spice. All of this is backed up by a beautiful finesse and verve.
Roberto Conterno's work with Barbera is without peer.
The Barolo Francia comes from one of Serralunga’s top sites. The commune is renowned for the density, texture, and heft of its wines.
In terms of longevity, Cappellano's Barolos boast a structure that can keep stride with the great distance runners of Piedmont, like Conterno's Monfortino and Giacosa's Red Label.
In short, Carema is an alpine Nebbiolo of breathtaking grace.
Even though much of the trip was spent tasting the great 2016 Barolos and Barbarescos, the 2018 Barbera Bricco del Cuculo was the revelation of my tastings. I immediately asked the importer how much I could buy.
