Backwards is the new forwards. While upgrading the storm blows over, the 2000s come to be a gradual turnaround for many winemakers in Piedmont. Many are those who have been on and thinking a barrique and allowed themselves to be seduced by high scores in various guides as their wines have become more and more sötfruktiga and extracted.
Two names, however tirelessly stood like sturdy lighthouse spotlight fixed on tradition, authenticity and district identity is Bartolo Mascarello, Giuseppe Rinaldi - two archetypal Barolo Partisans, who along with Teobaldo Cappellano and Giacomo Conterno, are among the absolute most formidable names in Piedmont, or for indeed the wine world in general. Tonight we'll try Barbera d'Alba la Bartolo e Beppe the 2006 model year, and we skip the blind goat - with this kind of wine in the glass must be my soul know what it is you enjoy.
Barbera d'Alba Vigna San Lorenzo 2006 (Bartolo Mascarello) 2006 Maria Teresa other "own" vintage since Bartolo's death in March 2005. Father modus operandi is preserved intact but some old Botti has been replaced with new ones in recent years. Barbera grapes are grown in the old cemetery of San Lorenzo in Cannubi.
dull ruby \u200b\u200bred and fairly close together. Already in bottle mouth flying it a distinct puff of purest bigarråparfym. In the glass there is plenty of lively cherry fruit in the center, which rub shoulders with nail polish, turpentine, hazelnut, maraschino and fresh menthol. Richly and generously offering it out without becoming levity. A very ethereal powerhouse with plenty of character and elegance.
Exquisite rigor with razor sharp acids and a sweet pillar of bright red bärfrukt surrounded by peppermint, a juicy, refreshing and at the same time intense and powerful flavor packets that you swallow greedily in big gulps. Tannin structure is not amiss, but biting into a bit of gum and cheek. The barbera can be this good ...
Barbera d'Alba 2006 (Giuseppe Rinaldi) Mayor's Son Giuseppe has, in addition to their four acres nebbiolo, just over two acres in Barolo and Novello freisa, Dolcetto, Ruch and barbera. The grapes for this Barberans has probably not grown far from Mascarellos San Lorenzo fruit. Storage has of course been at large, used Botti .
Medium Tight with a darker tone that leans towards purple. Although this puts fragrance cavalcade started bums with big catch of fresh herbs, plastic padding, sweet licorice and a bit darker bärfrukt. The fruit seems a bit softer and the minerality is prominent with wet stones and chalk dust. Super-string of the Calvados develops later in the glass.
Munkänslan is considerably more rounded with ripening acidity that feels lighter and less bite as Bartolo Juice. Fruit body is voluminous and bulky but slim and graceful. This is also a great wine with great munfyllnad and who probably find themselves in a just a bit more mature stage.
summary, we note that we have drunk greatness tonight. And at a very affordable price - Mascarello-Barberans costs € 19.90 and € 14.90 in Rinaldin BaroloBrunello.com . Extremely great enjoyment for the coins - currently know about not Mascarellon was the best barbera d'Alba I've ever drunk.
