Mauro Molino (La Morra, Piemonte)
“…a relatively new and red-hot producer.” – Wine Spectator
Barbera d’Alba The vineyard for this wine is
South-West facing in the La Morra district. The vines are a minimum of 10
years old, in Calcareous/clay soils. The wine is fermented in stainless
steel, followed by 8 months tank maturation. The palate has a wonderful
richness, with ripe red fruits, full bodied palate and food friendly
acidity
2 bicchieri, Gambero Rosso 2007 The Vigne Gattere vineyard was planted in 1970. It is South-West facing on calcareous/clay soils. Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel is followed by 18 months maturation in French oak barriques and a further 4 months in bottle. Intense purple red in appearance. The nose is fruity, featuring bright berries, tar and minerals. The overall impression is that of a dry, full-bodied classy wine with fresh acidity, and a persistent finish
Barolo Galinotto
Also in La Morra, this vineyard is at a higher
altitude located near Gattere. South west facing with 25-30 year old
vinesm, darker in colour, juicy with rich fruit and charry oak 2 bicchieri Gambero Rosso. 2006 Part of the Annunziata Vineyard in La Morra this wine is often released a year later to give it some extra bottle ago. Very fine, pretty & floral Barolo
Elio Grasso (Monforte d'Alba, Piedmonte) The Elio Grasso Barolos are honest expressions of the terroir of Monforte d'Alba, which generally produces a bigger, more tannic style of Barolo than those from the communes of La Morra or Barolo itself. Without doubt, one of the great producers of this region. Gambero Rosso 1 Star
Nebbiolo Langhe Gavarini The wine shows the classic aromas and flavours of flowers, tar, red currant and hints of various spices and liquorice
Delcetto
3 bicchieri Gambero Rosso. 2010!! The more masculine wine of the two, ripe fragrant fruit, tar and leather. A very long and intense wine. Fermented in stainless steel and matured in large oak for 24 months
Barolo Riserva Runcot
Ferdinado Principiano (Monforte, Piemonte)
The Ferdinando Pricipiano estate in Monforte d'Alba, Piemonte, has been in the family for roughly a hundred years. The winrery itself was founded in the 1950s by Americo Principiano, but it wasn't until the 21st century that his son, Ferdinando began to reconsider the company's winemaking philosophy for the new millenium. Removing all chemicals from the vineyards and the vinification process since 2004, today Ferdinado uses only natural yeasts and ferments the wines without temperature control - an approach which adheres closely to nature and the Langhe's wine-producing tradition. The estate comprises of different vineyards in Serralunga and Monforte, each planted according to the variety's optimum location, Boscareto, Coste & Ravera for Nebbiolo
