Nebbiolo w kwiatowej odsłonie KRZYSZTOF DOBRYŁKO a cierpliwych i pracowitych nagradza winami pełnymi głębi i har- monii. Klimat dla nebbiolo jest dobry, nawet słynne jesienne mgły spotkać można w Roero równie często jak w Barolo. Problemem jest lekka, piaszczysta gleba, która nie gwarantuje winom wyma- rzonej głębi. Rozwiązanie tej kwestii zajęło winiarzom kilkanaście lat i okazało się równie proste, co pracochłonne. Najtrudniej było zrezygnować z ambicji i pogodzić się z faktem, że na zachodnim brzegu Tanaro nie powstaną wina podobne do barolo i barbaresco. Trzeba było poszukać nowej, typowej dla lżejszej gleby interpretacji nebbiolo. Zajęło to trochę czasu, ale dokładne badania pokazały, że piach piachowi nierówny i najlepsze winnice Roero mają swój nie- powtarzalny, indywidualny charakter. Dobrze to ilustruje gablota wisząca w pokoju degustacyjnym w winiarni Matteo Correggii, w której umieszczono próbki gleby z 6 należących do tego producenta winnic. Dominuje w nich piasek, ale zróżnicowane domieszki iłów i gliny nadają im na tyle indywidualny charakter, że można je obsadzić najbardziej do nich dopasowanymi odmianami. Podobną drogą idzie wielu ambitnych winiarzy; lata ciężkiej pracy włożonej w poznanie specyﬁki poszczególnych winnic, dają wina pochodzące FOT. KD FOT. Roero jesienią

Najlepszym przykładem jest niedrogie Roero Silvano Nizza i podstawowe Roero z winiarni Malvirà. Ambitne, traktowane nową francuską beczką, są w młodości nieprzystępne, ale z czasem (niestety nie zawsze) beczka wtapia się i łagodzi typowe dla nebbiolo ostre taniny. Dobrze z beczką współżyją wina wspomnianego Matteo Correggii. Niestety, moje doświadczenie z bardzo dojrzałymi Roero jest niewielkie, ale kilka degustacji nieco starszych roczników wskazuje, że swoje optimum wina te osiągają po 6 do 8 lat. Na więcej nie pozwala zbyt lekka struktura.

Roero Docg: Arneis

If you read wine books about Roero, they will sum it up (if they even mention it at all) as the neighbor to Barolo and Barbaresco, and the region that is best at producing Arneis, a slightly fragrant, fruity, and light white wine. While I agree that Roero does produce high quality Piemontese white wines, the wines of Roero often go underestimated. What people often donʼt realize is how much potential and grace Arneis can have.

Roero$UQHLVJLYHQWKHSURSHUFDUHFDQEHDUHÀQHGHOHJDQWDQGHYHQDQDJHZRUWK\ white wine. Iʼm not saying all Arneis is going to blow your mind, but some of them will.

Seven years ago I happened to have put myself in the perfect place for a fabulous $UQHLVWRGLVFRYHUPH,WZDVP\ÀUVWQLJKWHYHULQWKH%DURORUHJLRQDQGWKHUH,ZDV standing in a little wine bar in the village of La Morra, talking with four German guys Iʼd never met before. One of them picked out a bottle of Giovanni Almondo Bricco Ciliegie, and we all shared it.

Earlier that day, from the city of Torino, I had called the winery of Enzo Boglietti to make DQDSSRLQWPHQW,ZDV\RXUXVXDO(QJOLVKVSHDNLQJWRXULVWEDFNWKHQDQGGLGQҋWVSHDND lick of Italian. Since Enzo didnʼt speak any English, he decided to hand the phone off to someone in his tasting room who did. This person was a German guy with perfect Eng lish and he gave me instructions to get to La Morra. So there I went, with just a paper map, scribbled instructions, and the hope that everything would be just as he said it would be. Needless to say, it was. They havenʼt let me down since.

One of the things that makes Arneis so interesting is how it is produced. Some wine makers leave the must of the grapes sitting on their skins for varying amounts of time XVXDOO\KRXUV LQRUGHUWRH[WUDFWSDUWLFXODUDURPDVDQGÁDYRUVIURPWKH$UQHLVVNLQV This has actually become a fairly common practice in several white wines of northern Italy, Piemontese Timorasso and Alto Adige Sauvignon blanc, to name a couple. In recent years a few Piemontese white wine producers (Matteo Correggia, Angleo Negro, and a few others) have teamed up to experiment with different wine making techniques. Maceration on the skins is just one of them. Other techniques include using indigenous yeast versus other yeast, early picking time versus normal picking, and different pressing and aging methods.

The current energy and enthusiasm around Arneis is really exciting. When you go to Piemonte, do yourself a favor and take a jaunt to Roero to see what these wine makers are up to. The following are my favorite Arneis producers, and notes from my visits in October of 2012. Matteo Correggia

2010 Matteo Correggia Roero Nebbiolo

I stepped out of the steamy hot spring, grabbed a towel and returned to my chair and a bottle of 2010 Matteo Correggia Roero Nebbiolo. It was a brisk sunset with a heavy hot fog centered over the hot spring; the nebbiolo was a bright ruby and the goose pate was plentiful. William, the tidy sommelier, was kind enough to open the bottle ahead of time so that I could smell red cherry and spice. He said that the soil composition in Roero was a deposit of sea sand and shells, dumped into Roero by tectonic movement. This special soil produced a soft nebbiolo, quite unique and expressive of its region. I agreed. Much like my legs after soaking in the sandy hot spring, the legs of the nebbiolo were fat and lazy, oozing down the interior of my glass. I took a sip. It was a surprisingly light wine, very different from the super-masculine nebbiolos that Iʼd enjoyed in the past. The tannins ZHUHSUHVHQWOLQJHULQJEXWYHU\ÀQH7KHDFLGZDVHQRXJKWRPDNHPHGURRO,ELWLQWRFUXVW\ toast with mousse pate. The rich pate coated my mouth and another sip of wine sent that bite of heaven down my throat with the grace of a dancer. There was more to the wineʼs lovely bouquet than it was showing. Like most women, it needed time to open up. I decided to take another dip in the bubbling water. Hot springs are a geologic gem just like the soil of Roero. I am in awe of the synchronicity of events that must occur for me to enjoy this incredible glass of wine while bathing under the moon, in the mountains, on a chilly spring evening. I am humbled and grateful. I rose out of the spring, steam streaming off P\ERG\OLNHÁDPHVDQGHQMR\HGDQRWKHUPRXWKIXO ,WZDVVRHOHJDQWZLWKPRUHWLPH$PXVN\SHUIXPHRIIUHVKURVHVÀOOHGP\QRVH the supple liquid caressed my tongue. I thought I heard music and wanted to spin in a circle. “Miss Vivian, you have a telephone call,” I heard. I gulped and coughed. “Oh pardon me,” I said and opened my eyes; “I have a telephone call? Okay, thank you; Iʼll be right there. Just let me get my…” He placed a large red telephone in front of me. “You donʼt have to go anywhere, here you are,” he said and left. I put the receiver to my ear. “Hello, this is Vivian,” I said. “Hi Vivian, are you having a nice time?” he asked. “Oh you handsome, thoughtful man; I am having such a wonderful time,” I told him. “Thatʼs good. Did you enjoy the wine?” “Itʼs so lovely! Iʼll save some for you,” I replied. “Okay you can bring it to dinner. Iʼll be by around 8 to pick you up,” he declared. I was shocked that the planets could align like this for me. “Iʼll be ready,” I said.

Matteo Correggia by Il Fede

Il Roero è terra di storie. Storie fatte di persone e di terra e di vino. Storie allegre ed a tratti tristi. Storie di contadini imprenditori sensu lato che con il loro entusiasmo e la loro determinazione sono riusciti a plasmare il destino proprio e della loro terra, rendendola un posto migliore per coloro che li hanno accompagnati e che li stanno seguendo. Persone le cui idee continuano a vivere in ciò che hanno creato, nelle loro vigne, nelle loro cantine e nelle bottiglie che portano il loro nome. Giovanni Correggia mi ha dato da subito l’impressione di essere una persona estremamente matura e competente, sia in senso assoluto, ma a maggior ragione considerando la sua giovane età (ha passato da poco le 21 primavere). Le parole sono sempre calibrate ed ogni messaggio viene espresso in maniera chiara e concreta. Camminando fra le sue vigne si percepisce il forte attaccamento che lo radica a questa terra, il legame indissolubile d’affetto e rispetto che lo lega alle vigne piantate da suo padre, Matteo Correggia, fondatore dell’azienda omonima Osservare il Roero dall’alto della collina del Marun permette un colpo d’occhio unico sul territorio vinicolo alla sinistra del Tanaro. È possi- bile apprezzarne le morbide colline verdeggianti di vigne e di boschi, e i graffi rossi della sua terra che affiora qua e là, lembi di pelle roerina esposti al sole ed alla pioggia. E proprio da questa terra, così ricca di resti fossili depositati milioni di anni fa quando al posto di Canale v’era solo mare, parte la scoperta della produzione di Matteo Correggia. Dall’Arneis 2012 fresco di vento, salato come il mare e profumato come un campo d’erba in primavera, quando i fiori scaldati dal sole mesco- lano il loro profumo alle prime note di frutta che iniziano a spandersi nell’aere. Con la Barbera d’Alba Marun 2010 la stagione avanza, ormai la primavera ha passato lo zenit e si avvia verso i caldi estivi. Ma la sera una brezza fresca proveniente dalle montagne porta aria pulita e carica dei profumi catturati lungo il tragitto. È l’epoca delle ciliegie che si fan ma- ture e delle prime susine, è il momento in cui la terra esplode di poten- za generatrice e dona all’uomo una sovrabbondanza di frutti succosi, ancora freschi e turgidi. Tutto ciò è la Marun, ma lo si capisce appieno solo guardando la vigna dalla sommità del bricco che le dà il nome. La primavera sfiorisce sugli alberi e subentra l’estate, periodo di ozioso riposo per i cittadini altrimenti chini sul fatturato. Periodo di doppio lavoro e grande apprensione per chi trae dalla terra il proprio sostenta- mento. Periodo di grandinate e di caldi afosi e di cinghiali che banchet- tano nelle vigne. Il Roero Val dei Preti 2010 è un Nebbiolo figlio dell’e- state. Nel colore rosso, caldo e brillante, nei profumi freschi di more che nella stagione estiva punteggiano i rovi ed in quella freschezza che d’estate si cerca per salvarsi dalla canicola, nella beva diretta e sincera che non nasconde un leggero tannino di grande morbidezza e setosità. Il culmine della stagione viticola è, naturalmente, l’autunno. Stagione della vendemmia e delle fermentazioni, delle schiene curve a raccogliere grappoli e delle notti insonni a vegliare le vasche. È il periodo delle scelte delicate, e delle grandi soddisfazioni. Non poteva che rappresentare l’autunno il Roero riserva Ròche d’Ampsèj 2005, proveniente da un cru eccezionale per il Nebbiolo riposa per 18 mesi in barrique nuove ed oltre due anni in bottiglia prima di vedere la luce. È un vino dalle mani grandi, ma gentili, in cui i frutti sono più maturi, caldi, dolci giungono al naso come trasportati da un vento del sud. La seta lascia spazio al velluto, più caldo, più materico, più corposo, dalla trama tannica ben presente. Colpo di fulmine per il Ròche 2009 provato in anteprima (uscirà solo alla fine dell’anno) sarà una bomba di golosità, beva e carattere. L’autunno sta volgendo al termine, il vino è in cantina ed ha iniziato il percorso, breve o lungo, che lo porterà infine a riempire il suo con- tenitore vitreo finale e ad recare incollato il nome di Matteo Correg- gia. Il lavoro in vigna ed in cantina è ridotto e ci si può permettere qualche viaggio, magari all’estero, magari in Francia, venendo colpiti dai vini che lì vengono prodotti. Così mi immagino sia nato il Marne Grigie, taglio bordolese a base di Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah e Cabernet Franc. Il prodotto d’un sogno straniero, in terra di Roero. Ancora una volta la passione per il vino mi ha permesso di conoscere una realtà speciale, anime del Roero, grazie. 26 maggio 2013

On Tuesday, Sara Palma of Azienda Agri- cola Matteo Correggia di Costa Ornella will present four of the winery’s stellar Roero wines at Zino Ristorante in Edwards. Palma is the winery’s public relations, sales and marketing director. As such, it falls upon her to journey across the globe spreading the gospel of Roero wines.

Rather than review the wines — you can read about their portfolio in Gambero Rosso’s wine guide — I thought I would give you a peek at the indominable spirit of Ornella Correggia.

Enogea n. 49 Luglio 2013 Pearl Jam Debut New Material at Wrigley Field Band fights off two-hour rain delay, drops set list rarities in epic show

Pearl Jam perform at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Jim Bennett By Dan Hyman July 20, 2013 11:25 AM ET

It was nearly 2 a.m. at Wrigley Field; Friday's Pearl Jam show in Chicago had now stretched into Saturday and frontman Eddie Vedder was fully prepared to keep going. "We have five minutes left," he told the capacity crowd gathered for the band’s first-ever gig at the baseball stadium. "But we don't want to mess it up in case we ever want to play here again."

No one complained: It had been a marathon of an evening – even by Pearl Jam standards. Seven songs into the show, fans were evacuated from the main floor and endured a two-hour rain delay before being allowed to return to their seats in time to watch the Seattle musicians rock well into the early-morning hours.

The New Immortals: Pearl Jam

The Wrigley show was one of only a handful for Pearl Jam this summer. (Earlier this month, the band announced a full-fledged fall tour that kicks off in Pittsburgh on October 11th.) But those familiar with Vedder's hometown affection for Chicago – and more specifically, the Chicago Cubs – had reason to believe this gig in particular would be nothing short of epic. Despite the weather's temporary disruption, the band didn't disappoint: Pearl Jam took the opportunity to not only dish out a heavy helping of their live staples on Friday ("Release," Corduroy," "Black"), but they also mixed in setlist rarities and even unveiled a trio of new songs off their forthcoming new album, Lightning Bolt (due on October 15th).

Two of the new tracks – "Mind Your Manners" and "Lightning Bolt" – came in rapid succession shortly after Pearl Jam reclaimed the stage post rain-delay. "Mind Your Manners," a Ramones-esque punk riot released last week, saw Vedder crouched low, whipping his mike stand back and forth as drummer Matt Cameron fired away steps behind him. "Lightning Bolt," a four-four rocker which Vedder introduced as "Lightning," made its live debut on Friday, and spills a tale of a witchy woman ("she comes on like a storm"); it also features a characteristically soaring solo courtesy of guitarist Mike McCready. Later in the evening, the band kicked off their seven-song encore with another new cut, the slow-burning acoustic charmer "Future Days," complete with keyboard accompaniment from Lightning Bolt-producer and longtime Pearl Jam studio wizard, Brendan O'Brien.

It was the setlist rarities and unexpected gems, though, that highlighted an evening designed with diehards in mind. Following McCready’s blistering "Leatherman"-capping cover of Van Halen's "Eruption," Vedder returned center stage with an accordion in tow, then began mumble-singing the Vitalogy cut "Bugs." (It was only the third time he'd performed the nonsensical-sounding track live.) Other treats included a cover of Pink Floyd's "Mother" ("Thanks to Roger Waters for letting us borrow that song") – a track Vedder and co. first performed in 2011 on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon – the Lost Dogs’ "Hold On," and a Mother Love Bone-cover segue of "Chloe Dancer" into "Crown of Thorns." (Vedder prefaced the pair of songs by thanking his band, which also includes guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament, for "taking a chance on a young kid" by letting him join forces with them more than two decades before.)

The evening also provided Vedder a chance to let loose, both literally (during "Porch" he briefly crowdsurfed before swinging from a green light truss) and figuratively. Not surprisingly, he basked in the glow of playing at the home of his favorite baseball team. "It's one of those shows that seems like I've been kind of waiting a lifetime for," Vedder said early on, adding that Wrigley Field, in his estimation is, as far as venues go, "the crown jewel of Planet Earth." To further pay homage to his beloved Cubs, Vedder kicked off PJ’s post-rain-delay set by singing his self-penned Cubbies anthem, "All The Way," after which he was joined onstage by the team’s most iconic player, Ernie Banks.

"With all due respect to the gentleman who plays here tomorrow," Vedder said minutes before the rain delay, and referencing country singer Jason Aldean who plays Wrigley on Saturday night, "they're going to have to kick us off the stage tonight."

At Wrigley, Eddie Vedder Drank Nebbiolo

If there’s a band I appreciate as much as Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, it’s Pearl Jam.

So on Saturday morning, I eagerly read Dan Hyman’s RollingStone.com review of the band’s performance the previous evening in Chicago. Unsurprisingly, one of the photos accompanying the piece featured Eddie Vedder holding a bottle of wine.

That Eddie Vedder loves wine is well known. He reportedly travels with a suitcase that’s stocked with nothing but wine. And during shows, he typically keeps a bottle within reach to swig from throughout the band’s performance. For a while, at least, Vedder was consuming quite a bit of Siduri’s Van der Kamp Pinot Noir.

Friday evening’s bottle certainly wasn’t from Siduri, though. So I took to Twitter to see if anyone could identify the mystery wine.

Within five hours, we had an answer. First, Kevin Sidders of VinConnect identified the producer as Matteo Correggia, a winemaker in Piedmont that Antonio Galloni once called “the spiritual leader of the region.” Then, Arno Borsboom of Piemonte-Import in the Netherlands identified the bottle as Correggia’s Nebbiolo “Roero,” which is imported to the United States by Michael Skurnik Wines.

I’ve never had the wine, but I’ll certainly be enjoying some before my next Pearl Jam concert! I Pearl Jam bevono bene: Roero di Matteo Correggia!

Eddie Vedder, leader dei Pearl Jam, è un grande amante dell’Italia, dove trascorre spesso le sue vacanze. Oltre a questo è risaputo anche il suo amore per il vino, ma non vini qualsiasi, piuttosto bottiglie di una certa qualità che sceglie con cura e attenzione.

Spesso e volentieri se ne porta qualcuna sul palco e mentre suona, invece di bersi una birra o una Coca, le sorseggia tra una pausa e l’altra. È accaduto così che la mitica rivista Rolling Stone l’abbia immortalato qualche giorno fa in un concerto a Chicago con una bottiglia in mano. Ebbene, la cosa che ha stupito tutti e ha fatto scrivere anche un bel pezzo dal blog Terrorist, è che questa volta l’etichetta si vedeva benissimo. Sorpresa delle sorprese: il vino era italiano e piemontese. Roero di Matteo Correggia. E allora a ben vedere, Eddie è davvero un f..o, beve bene, e sceglie piccoli produttori di denominazioni non così conosciute (a livello planetario)!

Secondo me l’altrettanto mitico Matteo Correggia questo concerto se lo sarà goduto alla grande dall’alto!

Vi lasciamo con un gran pezzo dei Pearl Jam e se avete la possibilità sorseggiatevi un gran bel rosso, magari un nebbiolo come ha fatto Eddie.

I wine lovers che non ti aspetti: tra i padri fondatori del “grunge”, incontro tra influenze eterogenee di rock, punk e metal che ha caratterizzato la scena musicale di Seattle tra la fine degli anni Ottanta e l’inizio degli anni Novanta (regalando al mondo della musica band come Nirvana ed Alice in Chains), i Pearl Jam, dopo vent’anni di onorata carriera, decine di milioni di album venduti e tour perennemente sold out, si scoprono, involontariamente, lo spot migliore per il Roero.

Galeotta una foto pubblicata sul sito dell’edizione a stelle e strisce di Rolling Stone, il magazine di riferimento per tutti gli appassionati di rock, in cui il leader del gruppo, Eddie Vedder, nella data al Wrigley Field di Chicago dell’ultimo tour (19 luglio), stringe in mano una bottiglia di rosso. Subito, sulla rete, si è scatenato il toto-bottiglia, con le ipotesi più disparate: Vedder, come sanno bene i suoi fan, porta spesso una bottiglia sul palco, di solito Pinot Nero, ma questa volta ha preferito il Roero di Matteo Correggia, portando alla ribalta un terroir piemontese ancora poco noto nel mondo, ma pronto a spiccare il volo, anche grazie all’(involontario) aiuto della band che, come ha scritto “Rolling Stones” qualche anno fa, “spese la maggior parte degli anni Novanta ad allontanare la propria fama” ...

VINO 01/08/2013 Il Roero Nebbiolo sul palco dei Pearl Jam

Eddie Vedder, leader dei Pearl Jam

Bottiglia mostrata durante un concerto a Chicago

CRISTINA BORGOGNO RETROSCENA

Pare che lo faccia quasi a ogni concerto. Ma di solito Eddie Vedder, carismatico leader dei Pearl Jam, mostra dal palco una bottiglia di Pinot Nero della sua Seattle o comunque della zona di produzione dell’Oregon. Questa volta, il cantante della famosa band sotto i riflettori da oltre vent’anni e che continua l’illustre carriera con tour mondiali sempre «sold out», si è spinto ben oltre confine, andando a suggerire alle migliaia di fans che lo acclamavano durante il concerto al Wrigley Field di Chicago (una decina di giorni fa), un vino italiano: esattamente, un Roero Nebbiolo di Matteo Correggia, azienda di Canale guidata dalla moglie Ornella, in cui oggi lavora anche il figlio Giovanni (la figlia Brigitta ha appena terminato le scuole superiori), tra i produttori più noti della Sinistra Tanaro. I particolari su La Stampa Cuneo del 1 agosto 2013. www.vinoway.com 02 agosto 2013

EDDIE VEDDER ED I PEARL JAM CONSIGLIANO UN BUON VINO ITALIANO

Sul palco del Wrigley Field di Chicago hanno fatto la loro comparsa con in mano una bottiglia di vino piemontese.

Sembra che ad ogni concerto dei Pearl Jam, il leader della formazione che cal- ca i palchi mondiali da oltre ventʼanni, compaia agli occhi dei suoi fan con una bottiglia di vino. Un invito al bere sano o un consiglio al considerare vino-musica uno dei migliori abbinamenti?

Eddie Vedder probabilmente sa riconoscere le qualità del vino; solitamente porta con sè una bottiglia di vino Pinot Nero della sua Seattle o comunque di una delle zone di produzione vitivinicole dellʼOregon, Stati Uniti dʼAmerica; sul palco del Wrigley Field di Chicago, invece, ha fatto la sua comparsa con un buon vino italiano: un Roero Nebbiolo.

Si trattava di una bottiglia prodotta dalla cantina piemontese Matteo Correggia, che si trova a Canale, Cuneo, ed è rigorosamente a conduzione familiare. Un bel regalo per i produttori: un lancio pubblicitario inaspettato, a tiratura mondiale e totalmente gratuito. www.zipnews.it 2 agosto 2013 giovedì 08 agosto 2013 I Pearl Jam cantano col Roero Nebbiolo

Eddie Vedder, leader dei Pearl Jam, è solito far apparire sul palco dei concerti della band una bottiglia di vino. Un modo per invitare al bere sano e di qualità. Solitamente Vedder promuove vini dell’oregon, la sua terra di provenienza, spesso tocca ad un Pinot Nero di Seattle. Una decina di giorni fa però, sul palco del Wrigley Field di Chicago ha fatto la sua comparsa una bottiglia italiana, un vino del Roero. Vedder si è presentato con un Roero Nebbiolo della cantina di Matteo Correggia. Si tratta di un’azienda a conduzione familiare di Canale che sicuramente non aveva previsto un lancio pubblicitario a tiratura mondiale e completamente gratuito. Settembre 2013

Weʼll be publishing our joint report on the nearly 200 wines presented next week.

But as a foretaste, my wine of the week today is one of the wines being offered en primeur by Justerini & Brooks that struck me as particularly good value, together with the previous vintage, 2010, that is already on the market and managed to please Walter both times he tasted it.

The late Matteo Correggia, who suffered a fatal tractor accident in 2001, was the big champion of Ro- ero, the also-ran neighbour of Barolo and Barbaresco with its lighter, sandier soils and earlier-maturing but still haunting Nebbiolo-based reds. Ornella Correggia and her winemaker Luca Rostagno carry on the good work as never before with Matteo Correggia, La Val dei Preti 2011 Roero. This is a bottling of the estateʼs oldest vines - both 60 and 80 years old, I was told by export director Sara Palma. More than two-thirds of the wine was aged in barriques, of which half were new, while the rest went into the large botte that are being used increasingly by Correggia. This already-accessible mid-weight, mid-ruby wine offers textbook Nebbiolo aromas with seductive rose petals and autumn mulch spreading right across the palate and attractively soft tannins. For someone wanting to get to grips with the unique appeal of Langhe Nebbiolo, this would be a perfect introduction. This is a beautifully delicate wine you could actually drink already - although it is not yet on the market and Justerini & Brooks are merely taking en primeur orders. I found it irresistible, gave it 17 out of 20 for what itʼs worth, and would want WRGULQNLWRYHUWKHQH[WÀYH\HDUVRUVRDQGVDYHP\FHOODUVSDFHIRUWKHPXFKORQJHUWHUP1HEELRORV of Barolo and Barbaresco.
