The Barolo Boys In Piedmont - Visit To Podere Ruggeri Corsini

This was a wonderful visit and a testament of all the genuine, fantastic people that makes Langhe the paradise on earth that it is. Its not all about the wines. :-)

We were met by Franceska and Vittoria, the daughters of Loredana and Nicola, who owns and manage the estate. 

The estate started in 1995 and -96 was their first vintage. They make ca 90.000 bt/year and have an impressive line up with 14 different labels, of which we tasted 12.

This Langhe trip started in the best possible way. Info here - Ruggeri Corsini,

2023 Langhe Rosato

A very fine, wild strawberry filled nose with additional notes of gravel, spices and orange peel.

The taste is cool and fine with a very fine acidity. Very fine and refreshing.

89p   (tasted 2025/01)

2023 Langhe Bianco

A blend of 50% Arneis, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Chardonnay. A fine, spicy nose with notes of grape, chrushed rocks and fresh herbs.

The taste is young and handsome with notes of wet cement, herbs and grape peel. A very fine acidity. First vintage 2007.

91p   (tasted 2025/01)

2023 Langhe Bianco Berlu´d Ciat

This is made from the, for me, unknown grape Baratuciat. The nose is cool and restrained with a very fine perfumed note alongside notes of grass and gravel.

The taste is high and fresh with juicy yellow fruit and a long, balanced finish. Very, very good.

88p   (tasted 2025/01)

2023 Viognier

This is only the third vintage of this wine. The nose has the tell tale signs of Viognier with notes of fresh flowers, fragrant soap and earth.

Although it differs from most Viognier in that it has a fresh, vibrant acidity, which I lack in most Viognier. Notes of dried apricots, cement and hay.

87p   (tasted 2025/01)

2022 Langhe Chardonnay Lolly

A fine, open nose with notes of lemon cream, dry fudge, fried spices and matchbox. Very fine.

The taste is pure and racy with a fine acidity and creamy yellow fruit. Long and fine.

91p   (tasted 2025/01)

2023 Dolcetto d´Alba

An open, stony nose with notes of sloe berries, blueberries, iron and dusty earth. 

The taste is young and seedy with juicy tannins and a fine blueberry fruit.

87p   (tasted 2025/01)

2023 Barbera d´Alba

A fresh, earthy nose with notes of raspberry licorice, plums and sweet tobacco. Very, very good.

The taste is pure and fine with a very good acidity and lovely ripe black cherry fruit.

89p   (tasted 2025/01)

2022 Barbera d´Alba Superiore Armujan

A stunner. From very old vines this sports a deep, focused nose with notes of ripe wild raspberries, fir smoke, Finnish licorice and warm earth. 

The taste is rich and layered with gorgeous black fruit, a perfect acidity and a long, long finish.

93p   (tasted 2025/01)

2019 Langhe Pinot Nero Argamakov

A deep, slightly mature nose with chrushed strawberries, candle grease, root vegetables and moist earth. Lovely.

The taste is round and velevety with a fine depth and warmth, and sweet red fruits that coats the palate.

91p   (tasted 2025/01)

2022 Langhe Nebbiolo

A pure, fresh nose with notes of licorice, violets, dried flowers and Langhe earth. Very, very good.

The taste is cool and spicy with silky tannins and a fine cherry fruit. Long.

90p   (tasted 2025/01)

2021 Barolo Bricco San Pietro

The Bricco San Pietro offers up a tight, structured nose with notes of ripe cherries, asphalt, bakelite and ripe flowers. Very handsome and fine.

The taste is nicely concentrated and layered with silky tannins, lovely cherry fruit and a long, iron filled finish. 8+ years.

94p   (tasted 2025/01)

2021 Barolo Bussia Corsini

The Bussia Corsini is a beauty. Very deep and rich, the nose soars from the glass with stunning notes of veal meat, truffles, asphalt and hard cherry candy. 

The taste is a posterchild of that old saying of tar & roses, with an impressive structure, taut tannins and a minute long finish. 10+ years. Great wine.

96p   (tasted 2025/01)

2022 Albarossa Autenzio

To finish this great visit another wine from a rather odd grape is poured, a 100% Albarossa, a variety created in 1938 from a crossing between Barbera and Chatus. 

The nose is big, brawny and dark with notes of plums, ripe sage, moist earth and sun warm asphalt.

The taste is broadshouldered and rich with warm black fruit, big tannins and a long, fiery finish. Not for the faint hearted but very interesting.

89p   (tasted 2025/01)

2023 Dolcetto d´Alba, Ferdinando Principiano

2023 Dolcetto d´Alba, Ferdinando Principiano

A young, open nose with notes of red currants, iron, bakelite and dried flowers. Very nice in a low key way.

The taste is young and fresh with nice fruit, silky tannins and a medium long finish. A tad anemic in the finish though.

85p   (tasted 2025/01)

Two Bottles From Rioja

2019 Nivarius Edición Limitada, Bodegas Nivarius

A fine, stony nose with notes of lemon cream, spices, candle grease, rubber and some smoky scents. Very, very good.

The taste is tight and balanced with lovely yellow fruit, a medium bodied acidity and a long, structured finish. Obviously a 95p Decanter wine, but how fine it is, its not nowhere those heights.

90p   (tasted 2024/11)

2021 Orben, Bodegas Artevino

A deep, low keys meaty nose with notes of wet cement, dried up strawberry jam, fresh flowers and spices. Gorgeous.

The taste is structured and very fine with notes of damsons, dried strawberries, licorice and scorched earth. The finish is very long and intense. Very fine.

93p   (tasted 2024/11)

Two Bottles Of Barolo

1973 Barolo Cascina Zoccolaio, Giovanni Scanavino

An earthy, low keyed nose with notes of cold coffee, dried flowers, dried red berries and old licorice.

The taste is dry and tight with earthy notes, soft tannins and a medium long, dry finish.

83p   (tasted 2024/12)

2020 Barolo Del Comune di Serralunga d´Alba, Ferdinando Principiano

An open, flirty nose with notes of red apples, dried strawberries, licorice and chrushed rocks. Very, very good.

The taste is young and fruity with perky tannins and notes of violets, bakelite and sweet red fruit. 6+ years.

88p   (tasted 2024/12)

All Bottles From 1964 Tasted / 1991 - 2024

In connection with an Instagram post of some 1964 Baroli, I got an interesting question - "are you the only living person who have tasted more than 200+ bottles from 1964?"

That of course would be impossible for me to know, but it got me wondering - how many -64´s have I tasted?

After going through all my tasting notes since 1991 I can conclude (up to December 31 2024) that I have tasted 314 bottles from 1964. More to come... :-)

Below all bottles are listed. The creme de la creme are listed at the bottom.
