Enzo Boglietti 2004 Riserva Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Cellar Selection
This is a truly awesome Barolo Riserva from the La Morra subzone with gorgeous intensity and purity. The wine is flush with balsam, cola, cherry, mineral, spice and some earthy overtones. The quality of the fruit is very evident in the mouth. Lingering tones of leather and tobacco are folded within the long lasting finish. Put this bottle aside.

Enzo Boglietti 2006 Fossati Nebbiolo (Barolo)
The Barolo Fossati from La Morra opens with huge intensity and determined aromas of black cherry, tobacco, licorice, mesquite wood and crushed mineral. What really sets this wine apart is the immediacy and confident delivery of its aromas. That same self-awareness transfers to the mouth, where the wine is long, satisfying and rich.

Enzo Boglietti 2006 Case Nere Nebbiolo (Barolo)
Barolo Case Nere from La Morra opens with extremely dark and concentrated extraction followed by young oak-related aromas of spice, leather and tobacco. But, thanks to the bright fruit notes at the back—blueberry, cassis and pomegranate—those toasted notes will fade further into the background as the wine evolves in time.

Enzo Boglietti 1998 Buio Red (Langhe)
- $35
This Piedmontese blend of 80% Nebbiolo and 20% Barbera is strongly marked by new wood, which, in this instance, imparts a smoky, meaty character to the aromas of cherries and berries. The bright fruit flavors later fold in cocoa notes and finish long and tart, with an undercurrent of dried brush and herb that adds complexity. Hold til 2005.

Enzo Boglietti 1998 Fossati Nebbiolo (Piedmont)
- $60
This is a wine with sweet tarry aromas, and rich, sweet fruit with flavors of new wood and black figs. Powerful tannins dominate the fruit at this stage, but they will soften over the next five years or so.

Enzo Boglietti 1998 Brunate Nebbiolo (Piedmont)
- $60
The long, 38-month wood aging has produced a ripe, heady wine with some juicy, tarry fruit. Sweet and dry tannins combine with powerful ripe, dark fruits but the overall aftertaste is of dry wood and fruit tannins.

Enzo Boglietti 1998 Casa Nere Nebbiolo (Piedmont)
- $60
The tiny, 2.4-acre vineyard of Casa Nere in La Morra has produced a wine with dominant rustic characteristics from its high alcohol (14.6%). Under these almost heady aromas there is also sweet, open fruit with firm, dry tannins and toasty wood flavors. Dry wood comes through on the finish, along with flavors of black cherries.

Enzo Boglietti 1999 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $17
Cherry, black pepper and vanilla greet you and appear again in the long finish. The hollow middle, however, detracts from an otherwise fine effort.
