Let's taste some Barolo 2021 and a Travaglini Nebbiolo Passito.
The Chionetti 2021 Barolo Roncaglie is a rather classic Barolo and offers great value for money. The wine has herbs, moss, undergrowth, licorice, cherry, cinnamon, full body, balance, lots of tannins, and needs air to become more complex. 18.3/20 points.
The Travaglini 2014 Il Sogno is not a classic Gattinara, but a Nebbiolo Passito. The wine is very modern with lots of bounty and dark toast, full body, balance, lots of soft tannins, and a long finish. 18.3/20 points.
The Giovanni Rosso 2021 Barolo Serra is a very fruity and soft Barolo that could use a little more structure and complexity. The wine has lots of fruit with red berries, especially strawberries, full body, lots of soft tannins, a long finish, and medium structure. 18/20 points.
The Aldo Conterno 2021 Barolo Cicala is a very modern Barolo with high density and great potential. At the moment, it is still influenced by the barrique with notes of bounty and rosewood and has licorice, full body, lots of tannins, a long finish, balance, and high density. 18.5/20 points.
