Barbaresco Fratin opens with luscious aromas of sandalwood and Indian spice with fine, austere tannins later on the finish. There isn’t too much fruit here, but what does come through are nuances of prune and cassis. Overall, the wine is very dry, tight and sharp.

This Riserva Barbaresco presents thick extraction and an orange tinge to its garnet-ruby color. Aromas here recall spice, earth, tar, licorice and subtle fresh fruit nuances. The natural acidity and bone-dry tannins suggest this wine should stay lively for more years to come.

Here’s a Riserva Barolo from the excellent 2004 vintage with elegant and traditional characteristics and evolved aromas of smoked meat, pressed fruit, chopped spice and moist earth. The wine seems older than it is and ends with meaty flavors of cured beef and honey roasted ham.

I really enjoyed this wine with its super thick froth, creamy peach, floral tones, intense fruit aromas and higher than normal (for a Moscato d’Asti) alcohol. A great aperitivo or dessert drink. Imported by Angelini Wine.

There’s a ripe, almost jammy quality to the bouquet of this Riserva Barbaresco that appears as raspberry or strawberry candy with subtle cola, leather and tar aromas at the back. The wine is tight and compact with the kind of firmness in the mouth that suggests it needs another five years of bottle aging.

With 70 hectares of vines and many generations of family management, Piazzo Armando is a steady and consistent producer of Barolo and other traditional wines of the Langhe. This is the winery’s top product and its quality shows thanks to delicate aromas of wild cherries, light cinnamon and pressed blue flowers.

This is a very impressive expression of Nebbiolo from the celebrated 2007 vintage that shows sweet vanilla and spice tones at the back of blueberry, cassis and cherry cola. The wine shows a softer, more immediate quality than compared to past vintages.

The floral and fruity intensity of this wine is splendid and sets the tone for its soft impact in the mouth, which is sweet, creamy and accented by lemon pie flavors.

Graphite notes of pencil shaving, polished river stone and slate make for a beautifully mineral-driven nose. You’ll also get very ripe notes of cherry and raspberry backed by opulent shadings of new leather and black tar.

Sure this Barolo is slightly on the ripe side with mature fruit notes of strawberry and raspberry aromas. But it also offers elegance and complexity with supporting notes of coffee, espresso and spice. A long finish and drying tannins close the deal.
