We don't find the time to do inventory nearly often enough, but when we finally get around to it we do discover some very nice wine that's what you might call slipped through the cracks. Fortunately it's 55 degrees in the cellar, so a little more time down there is fine!
My friend Gregory calls Villero “Barolo with training wheels”, by which I think he means that Villero produces wines that are both classic and easy to understand – thus, a good introductory wine. I’m a fan of Villero in general (see also G. Fenocchio, G. Mascarello, Oddero) so I’m sometimes a little embarrassed that perhaps my fandom reveals my training wheels tastes… But in any case I’m not so sure that the Brovia 2013 Villero fits Gregory’s bill. It’s got some real density that carries through to the finish, balanced with bright raspberry fruit. Tasted just last week at Barolo Night, it was showing structured and austere, with the dark, savoury core that’s present in all of the Brovia 2013s. Jamie Wolff
Canonica, Giovanni 2014 Langhe Nebbiolo
Very savory, with pronounced ripe tannins, this wine is fermented and aged in steel, and doesn’t spend any time in wood. Nonetheless it has much of the presence and gravity of a Barolo, and is a superior expression of Nebbiolo in comparison to many actual Barolos. Jamie Wolff
One with a torn label (as shown in photo) - the other labels are in better shape.
Cappellano 2004 Barolo Gabutti Rupestris
Classic Nebbiolo nose — earthy, mineral, wild red fruit — raspberry — strawberry, a little violet; this is actually delicate and refined; old fashioned wine but clean and pure; very fine tannins, medium bodied, plenty of fruit and LONG.
Oddero, Fratelli 1964 Barolo (damaged label)
Oddero is one of just a handful of producers who made excellent wine in the past and who continue to do so now. Admittedly our opinion of their current vintages is biased, since we admire Oddero's fidelity to Barolo made in the traditional manner. Anyway, the old wines are great, and we're happy to have old vintages whenever we can.
Produttori del Barbaresco 1970 Barbareco Riserva Pora
Still doing very well at 40+ years, with intense mature Nebbiolo aromatics, dry and savory; the wine is not overly tannic, but no Piemontese would ever serve this except at table, with a main-course meat dish like ossobuco or something grilled; do so and you will have a memorable treat.
Rinaldi, Francesco 1964 Barbaresco
Lovely wine with a deep penetrating nose of leather, spice, mineral, cherry and chestnut. Palate has great inner mouth aromas and nice juicy fruit. Great ripeness with good chewiness. Lovely stuff!
