Barale Fratelli 2007 Bussia Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $69
Leather, tobacco and light Bresaola open the nose of this dark, masculine Barolo. But wait a few minutes and the wine starts to deliver elegant tones of rose, violet, tar and polished granite stone. The wine is not propped up by huge intensity, but it does offer a cool, streamlined feel.

Barale Fratelli 2004 Vigna Castellero Riserva Nebbiolo (Barolo)
Riserva Vigna Castellero is an approachable and elegant food wine with focused aromas of wild berry and cassis, backed by mineral, cola and powdered licorice. There’s a polished and fine nature to the mouthfeel and the wine would stand up to juicy filet mignon topped with foie gras and mushroom pâté.

Compared to the estate’s Vigna Cannubi cru, this expression of Nebbiolo offers slightly more structure, density and staying power. The aromas here recall black cherry, plum, spice and Spanish cedar. The mouthfeel is rich, supple and very clean. Drink after 2014.

Aromas of cherry cola, cedar, truffle and anise go straight to the nose and are followed by subtle shadings of wild berry, clove, allspice and a hint of dill. Instead of intensity, this wine offers penetration and persistency with a bright and crisp mouthfeel.
