Giribaldi 2002 Nebbiolo (Barolo)

Price $49

A fine example of a Barolo, and a marvel considering the problems of the 2002 harvest. The fruit is dark and juicy with plenty of concentration, with the added complexity of roses and pencil shavings. Nicely textured, with a medium to long finish. Imported by Global E. Selections, LLC. — M.G. (12/31/2007)

Giribaldi 1998 Riserva Nebbiolo (Barolo)

Editors' Choice

Price $37

Slightly herbal or floral notes mark the nose of this wine, layered over a core of rich milk chocolate, black cherries and hints of roasted meat or tar. The extra aging has imparted a creamy, supple mouthfeel. One reason we liked this wine so much was its easy accessibility; not all Barolo has to have massive tannins. Drink now–2010. — W.E. (4/2/2004)

Giribaldi 1998 Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)

Price $28

Faint orangey-brown hints at the edges indicate this classically styled wine is just starting to mature. It’s tasty, with deep, pruney Nebbiolo fruit sporting tobacco and spice accents. The mouthfeel is lean and elegant, and the fruit-to-acid balance excellent. Finishes long, with good, even tannins. A very impressive normale (village wine). Drink this from 2004–2010. — M.M. (11/15/2002)

Giribaldi 2007 Nebbiolo (Barolo)

From the Novello area of Barolo, this beautiful expression from Piedmont shows elegance, complexity and smoky aromas of cigar box, toasted almond and dried fruit. It offers a tight, focused finish that is driven forward by firm, drying tannins. Drink in five years or more. — M.L. (9/1/2011)

Giribaldi 1997 Nebbiolo (Barolo)

Price $30

Aromas of slow-roasted tomato and dill pickles are stimulating. Cherry and roasted corn flavors show more red fruit than dark fruit, for a wine that finishes with smooth nonaggressive tannins. — C.S. (11/15/2002)

Giribaldi 2004 Vigna Campo del Pero Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)

Best Buy

Price $14

The winemakers at Giribaldi went for a more ambitious wine, with intense jammy fruit, licorice and earth. On the palate the wine was quite extracted, showing plenty of black fruit and the earthy character taking a more central role. Imported by Global E. Selections, LLC. — M.G. (12/31/2007)

Giribaldi 2004 Nebbiolo (Barolo)

Online Exclusive

Price $60

This base Barolo offers upfront aromas of tealeaf, moist tobacco, apple skin, cedar wood, white cherry and wild berry. Those notes are overlapped and tangled yet the wine finds balance in the mouth thanks to the supporting role of tannins and acidity. Overall, this is a fresh, traditional and direct expression of Nebbiolo. — M.L. (4/1/2009)

Giribaldi NV Selezioni Rodellisa Dolce Brachetto (Piedmont)

Best Buy

Price $15

The note on the label, “Nel tentative di catturare l’attenzione,” (“looking to catch your eye”) rightly refers to this elegantly crafted Brachetto. In store for your senses is a package of watermelon, raspberry, caramel apple, apricot, strawberry, toast and cranberry aromas and flavors. A fine complement to an intimate evening. Best Buy.—K.F. — K.F. (12/31/2002)
