Nebbiolo Wine

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: Dark cherry, plum, lavender, mint, wild herbs and smoke infuse the 2013 Barolo Bricat. Dark, powerful and brooding, but also very much medium-bodied in structure, the 2013 is wonderfully complete and full of allure. There...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A muscular style, but not rustic, offering cherry, leather, eucalyptus and cigar box aromas and flavors. Balanced and expressive, with a fluid profile punctuated by dusty, well-integrated tannins. Best from 2022 through...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2013 Barolo Castelletto is another superb wine from Manzone. Beams of Castelletto tannin and bright acidity give the wine its super-distinctive feel. A wine of focus and drive, the Castelletto will appeal most to...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: This is a terrific and flexible expression of Nebbiolo that can adopt to almost any dinner party setting. The 2014 Barolo Castiglione was designed for people who want to enjoy Barolo in an easy and direct manner. This...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is very ripe with a dried berry, almost raisin character and Asian mushroom undertone. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish. Needs time to soften. Better in 2017.

Vinous, 96 points: In many ways, the gorgeous 2014 Barolo Lazzarito is the most surprising wine in the range. Once a stylistic outlier with a considerable French oak influence, today it is much closer to the other Barolos in terms of feel...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: Another highlight in this range, the 2014 Barolo Ravera opens with the most exquisite, captivating aromatics imaginable. It will be interesting to see if it develops a bit more midpalate depth and pliancy. Today, the 2014...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: A very clean and focused 2012 with ultra-fine tannins that are ripe and polished. Full-bodied, dense and balanced. Wonderful harmony. Drink or hold.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: The 2013 Barbaresco Coparossa brings together the aromatic top notes of Fausoni and depth of Pajoré. Deep and beautifully layered in the glass, but also quite understated, the 2013 speaks to restrained and grace above all...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 90 points: The 2014 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is quite pretty. Sweet floral aromatics meld into tobacco, dried cherry, licorice, mint and pine in a finely-knit, sensual wine that captures the essence of this well-known Roero site...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2009 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata/Torriglione explodes from the glass with freshly cut flowers, spices, mint and sweet red berries, all hallmarks of this great site. In 2009 the Rocche is pure sensuality and grace...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: Crushed flowers, tobacco, mint, licorice and dried cherries lift from the glass in Pira's 2009 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti. Interestingly, within Roagna's range the old vines in Pajè confer power, but here they seem to add...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: 95+ A gorgeous, totally striking wine, the 2012 Barolo Via Nuova opens with compelling, captivating aromatics. Deep, fleshy and powerful, the 2012 has blossomed beautifully over the last year, suggesting it still has room...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: The balance of cherry, strawberry and sweet spice flavors and dense, dusty tannins leaves a divide that needs time to bridge. Offers the requisite amount of fruit, and the finish persists, with sweetness to offset...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: his is wild and exotic with dried flowers, earth, spice and berry character. Full-bodied, dense and decadent with ripe and round tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Fabulous depth. So delicious now but will improve with...
