Who & Why

1971 is one of Piedmont's vintages of the century. We taste Barolo and Barbaresco from this vintage by Giacomo Borgogno and Damilano. Together with Enrico Serafino, these are producers who make reliable aged wines.
Today we will taste Roero Arneis, Chardonnay from Tasmania and Sauvignon Blanc from Steiermark.
This time, there are two interesting wines from Piedmont and, as a highlight, a Dunn Howell Mountain.
2021 was an sensational vintage for Barolo. Now we have some Barolo from Sandrone and Scavino.
Perhaps Monfortino doesn't hold up quite as well as other classic Barolo such as Serafino, Damilano and Scarpa - or so we thought. That's why we're testing two perfect bottles from 1971 and 1955.
It's unbelievable how good mature Marsala all' Uovo (60 years and more) tastes. Chocolate, herbs and Amerettini Morbidi are part of the aroma.
With the summer temperatures, you also need a sparkling wine and a rose. So we have a champagne, a Nebbiolo rose and a Cornas.
Today we have some more Barolo 2021 and an amazing Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame from 2008.
This time we taste the Barolo 2021 from Damilano and a champagne from the Aube.
This time we have champagne, Chateauneuf du Pape, Riesling from Rheinhessen and a Barbaresco.
This time there is a white wine from Egypt, a Californian Chardonnay and a rare Barolo.
2015 was a Barolo vintage with a lot of potential, but also closed at the beginning. How did it develop? The 2015 Barolo Aeroplanservaj is an archetypal representative of this vintage.
Unfortunately, the Longevenings had to be canceled in the new year due to illness. But now we're back at it again, with Chardonnay from Piedmont and a red Burgundy.
Gaja Sperss 1997, Gaja Sperss 1998 and Jonata 2010 La Sangre de Jonata - it's an exhausting tasting when the wines are all so good you don't want to spit them.
Today we have an excellent rose champagne as well as two great Barolos - one traditional and one modern.
1971 was a vintage of the century for Barolo, in which even small wineries were able to produce sensational and long-lasting wines. This Barolo was donated by a friend who still has a few bottles of it and will soon be consigning it to an auction.
