“…a relatively new and red-hot producer.” – Wine Spectator
Barbera d’Alba 2006
Barbera d’Alba Superiore Vigna Gattere 2004 2 bicchieri, Gambero Rosso 2007
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 Gallinotto 2003
Deep red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant, plums & sandalwood. Then very ripe and aromatic in the mouth, with complex flavors of sweet red berries, minerals and brown spices. Has enourmous concentration and firm acids. Finishes with dusty, chocolatey tannins.
Barolo Gancia 2001 2 bicchieri Gambero Rosso. 2006
Deep ruby-red. Captivating aromas of baked strawberry, cedar, minerals, mint and licorice. Quite suave on entry, then creamy-sweet but vibrant in the middle, with a blackberry flavor that manages to be both liqueur-like and cool. This possesses terrific spine. The dusty, building tannins make themselves felt quite late. 22 months in oak, 30% of which are new barriques. Stephen Tanzer 91+
The farm is situated on the top of the ‘Madonna di Como’ hill, 5km from the centre of Alba at a height of 422m above sea level.: The Celts who inhabited the area since the 4th century AD worshipped ‘Como’, the god of feasts; the Romans arrived during the first century AD and the name ‘Como’ came to mean a procession of young dancers in honour of the wine god Bacchus.
