Barolo
2011 Barolo
This 2011 Barolo is now a very silky wine and has matured very well over the last six years. Following an excellent year in 2010 it was a very hard call that the 2011 would come close to the 2010. But having just tested it again in January 2018 it is showing that it is coming to its peak.

Why Age Wine in Oak Barrels
Before there were glass bottles (1600’s and before), most wines were stored and sold in wooden barrels. In fact, paintings from around this time period often show wine barrels strewn about. And, while we’ve outgrown the necessity for barrels to store and transport...
The Story of Fine Wines from the Langhe Region
It is my intention as a way of introduction to both ‘Piemonte Imports’ who are vintners of fine wines from Piedmont ‘The Langhe’ and to write the story about the grape called “Nebbiolo” (Foggy) It may have gained this name due to the foggy bloom on the grape, at the late ripening in October when there is a lot of fog in the hills of the Langhe; however, the real reason for this name is not known.
