TENUTE CISA ASINARI DEI MARCHESI DI GRESY Martinenga , Barbaresco DOCG

Situated between Neive and the town of Barbaresco itself, Cotta beautifully combines the rich, fuller-bodied nature of Neive, with the tannic structure of Barbaresco. With a south-west exposure, it is usally the richest and roundest of the Sottimano crus, typically showing abundant red and black fruits with refined nuances of mint, leading to a palate of notable length. The tannins are there, but beautifully expressive and silky. A benchmark Barbaresco with a 15-20 year cellar life.

GAJA Sito Moresco, Langhe Fruit is sourced predominantly from Pajorè in Treiso and in Serralunga, with eastern and western exposure and rich soils laden with limestone. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and oak casks, the Sito Moresco combines the complexity of Nebbiolo with the roundness of Barbera and the body of Merlot. Elegant, fruity and balanced, the wine has a refined bouquet of small red fruits with smooth tannins and a lingering finish.

Bright floral and citrus tones. Sweet red purplish berry fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol rose petal and lavender are some of the many notes that flesh out in this super-expressive Barbaresco. Aromatically lifted, dense on the palate and also very structured.

Boroli Barolo del Comune di Castiglione Falletto is a village Barolo drawn entirely from the family’s own vineyards in the heart of the appellation, a commune long prized for its balance of structure and perfume. East-, west- and south-west-facing Nebbiolo on clay-limestone soils with touches of sand are harvested by hand around mid-October, then broken down into micro-parcels so that each plot and ripeness band is picked, fermented and aged separately before blending. Fermentation and submerged-cap maceration in stainless steel can run to 30 days, followed by at least 18 months in large oak and further bottle ageing, giving a Barolo that marries supple tannins with depth and freshness rather than sheer power. In the glass, recent vintages are noted for aromas of cherry and raspberry, dried rose, herbs and subtle spice, with medium-bodied, savoury palates and fine, chalk-edged tannins, making this a classic, village-marked Barolo that drinks well from release but is built to evolve over the next decade and beyond.
