The 2011 really highlights the nuance, subtlety and elegance that this site is capable of whilst retaining the depth, verve and structure. This is a powerfully built Barbaresco but one with striking finesse. There is so much complexity but it is seamless and weightlessly elegant. One of the best Sorì Tildìns we have tasted. Supreme.

Gaja’s Costa Russi is usually the most aromatic and elegant of the three single vineyard wines with a finer structure. The 2014 retains its personality with an expansive bouquet of wild berries mingled with rose petals and an attractive balsamic note. Succulent and rich on the palate, it has a core of sweet red fruits with darker mulberry and blackberry...

Crichet Pajé is the pinnacle of Roagna’s production, the jewel in the crown, and one of Piedmont’s greatest wines. Limestone soil from a small parcel (just half a hectare) at the top of the Pajé vineyard produces wines of sublime depth and complexity. The first vintage of this legendary wine was 1978, although a few bottles were produced as an...

"This year's top-end release from Bruno Giacosa is the 2017 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche (in the red label). Bottled in 2019, the wine stands apart thanks to a hot and dry growing season that Bruna Giacosa is very excited about. In fact, she prefers 2017 to 2015, although the two vintages do share similarities. This wine is very...

"Serralunga d’Alba. Pale ruby. Seductive raspberry nose with the merest suggestion of oak. Has a certain coolness about it. Sappy raspberry fruit, elegant and perfumed on the finish with subtle, fine tannins. A very pretty wine and ready now." 17, Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com

The bouquet is packed with floral notes (such as acacia flowers and wisteria) and stonefruit, such as peach, typical of the vine. On the palate we find the same fruity and floral notes, a good sapidity characterizes the final profile, giving the wine length and persistence.

"Aromas of red fruit, dried flowers, orange peel and walnuts. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Dry with a fine texture. Hints of crushed stones and cedar at the end. Better from 2027." 93, James Suckling

"With the white label, the 2019 Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is a generous and expansive wine that hits the palate from all sides. It offers lingering sensations of sweet fruit with a good amount of intensity and muscle power pushing from behind. That forward momentum is fueled by dark fruit, rusty earth, wet clay and blood orange. It shows...
