They maintain that the reason this is possible is because, some wine prices are driven by some unnecessary overhead and marketing costs rather than the cost of grapes and wine making.Their wines apparently are made by some of the most celebrated winemakers who have made some of the greatest wines ,from Petrus to Penfolds Grange.
Interesting Concept!
Their Barolo is made in small quantities in a area Northwest of Italy in the Piedmont region, getting its name from the Village of Barolo.The wine is made form 100% Nebbiolo. In its youth this wine style can be hard and tannic and can often need at least a decade to become approachable.
When I tasted the complex 2000 vintage it t had been opened for 20 hours and I was overcome by its richness and power .It was dark rich cherry red in the glass with lots of rich Christmas cake aromas, mocca and spice with firm yet elegant tannins.
This wine would work really well with a good steak, just be sure to decant it and it will show you what a well made Barolo that is drinking well is all about.A true expression of one of the great wines regions of the world. Seek it out ... for €35 its a steal.
Enjoy,
