quite typical of this site. In 2007 La Serra shows a touch more volume and depth than is usually the case, which helps to balance the hard, firm tannins that are often found in this wine. This is a beautifully proportioned, harmonious Barolo from Marcarini. It is already so open and expressive, it is hard for me to envision a long life, but most of the bottles will have been long consumed before that is likely to be an issue. The fruit was harvested on October 1 and 2. The wine saw 15 days of fermentation, followed by another 39 days of contact with the skins. The wine then spent two years in large, neutral casks prior to being racked into steel to rest before being bottled." Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.

Violets, menthol, tar and rose petals are just some of the many notes that burst from this super-classic Barolo.

We are passionate about the intricacies and beauty of Piedmont's greatest red wines, Barolo and Barbaresco, but we also recognize there are not enough high quality wines at the entry level. That's why Damilano's "Lecinquevigne" is a perfect fit. The winery was started in the late 1880s by Guiseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current generation of Damilanos. The heritage of the Damilano family is deeply connected with the land and they own several top quality vineyards across the Barolo zone--including over half of Barolo's most famous cru, the great Cannubi vineyard. The Damilano's blend across five cru sites from five villages in Barolo to assemble this balanced and beautiful "Lecinquevigne" blend. No, there is no "Cannubi" in the blend here, but serious Barolo enthusiasts will recognize the crus such as "Movigliero" from the village of Verduno and "Ravera" from Novello as serious sites that are often bottled as single-vineyard wines by other producers. The 2001 vintage of "Lecinquevigne" made Wine Spectator's Top 100 list, and Spectator later noted that the 2001 offered "the best quality/price ratio of any Barolo" that year. This lovely new 2007 "Lecinquevigne" is similarly attractive and a great value.

notes that emerge from this profound, utterly moving Barolo. The 2008 possesses dazzling inner perfume, endless layers of bright red fruit and stunning overall balance. Fine, silky tannins frame the extraordinarily elegant finish. This is a fabulous wine from Gianluca Grasso and his family. Chalky notes frame an energetic, brilliant finish sprinkled with shades of the 1989. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033.
I could feel my heart racing as I tasted Gianluca Grasso’s 2008s. Both 2008 Baroli are drop-dead gorgeous wines that capture the purest essence of hillside Monforte brilliance. The 2008s have begun to shut down since I first tasted them from bottle in November, 2011. The focus, length and sheer pedigree, however, have always been on full display. My advice? Buy the 2008s and forget about them for a good decade-plus. Two decades would be better. These remain some of the most fairly priced, ageworthy wines on the planet. Congratulations to the Grasso family for two monumental wines that embody everything that makes Barolo so magnificent. These are both must-have wines.
