2016 Langhe Chardonnay, Bel Colle
Fermented in steel tanks (70%) and barrique (30%). The nose is cool and spicy with notes of summer flowers, grey pears, red currants, almond paste and a hint if matchbox. Lively and fine.
The taste is silky and fresh with notes of grilled lemons, white currants, banana peel and lots of sweet minerals. A fine acidity. Medium long. Very, very good.
88p (tasted 2018/02)
2016 Barbera d´Alba, Giuseppe Rinaldi
An open, seedy, herbal nose with notes of dried cherries, paint, lingonberries and dusty earth. A linear, salivating nose, high and fine.
The taste is perky and tight with notes of lingonberries, cranberries, forest floor, dried herbs and dry licorice. Fine, cool tannins. A low keyed, fine warmth. Long. Very, very good.
