About
this Six-Bottle
Sampler :
While Piemonte’s Vintage Streak offers a truly unparalleled experience
in the region’s terroir and producers, there is much to be excited about
beyond these prized years and—truth be told—beyond Barolo as well.
While ’03 proved to be a challenging vintage, producers like Massolino
turned it to the consumer’s advantage, giving us a Barolo normale of
rare approachability, intensity, and provenance. It’s a spectacular value,
and a testament to how producers of quality prevail over a vintage’s
extremes and idiosyncracies.
The Vintage Streak looks to have some serious competition from the 2004 vintage,
given current assessments. Get a preview of what’s to come with one of
the region’s foremost names—Giacosa. His Nebbiolos surpass many
Barolos, rendering this taste of Piemonte truly a taste of what is to come….
Piemonte’s sweeter side may be hovering in the wings of Barolo’s
power performance, but the highly sought-after bottlings of Forteto della Luja
bring it front and center with aromatic grace and engaging charm. Forteto’s
Le Grive strikes an intriguing match between the King of Food, Barbera and
the Heartbreak Grape, Pinot Noir. These two hit it off quite well, creating
a concentrated expression that captures Barbera’s trademark acidity and
Pinot Noir’s stirring aromatics.
