ROBERT PARKER’S WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS! - "The 2009 Dogliani Siri d’Jermu (Dolcetto) is one of the most elegant, complete wines I have ever tasted from Pecchenino. Read More...
It flows with fabulous intensity in its dark jammy fruit, with silky tannins that add support and texture. This is a dazzling wine that impresses for its voluptuous, caressing fruit and big, expansive personality. Unlike some previous vintages, the 2009 is big, but not at all overdone. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019."
The Dolcetto grape may not be familiar to many, and even ardent fans of Italian wine may have only tasted a few. The 2009 “Siri d’Jermu” bottling from Pecchenino is worth seeking out and will be a pleasure for just about any wine-drinker, not just the geeks. There is a supple, silky quality to the best Dolcettos that will excite many fans of Pinot Noir. The nose is a layered and enticing with scents of dried flowers and incense. The surprise here may be the depth and structure—Pecchenino’s “Siri d’Jermu” is from a steeply sloping vineyard based on limestone soils, providing structure and some heft to support all those pretty qualities up front. Seriously yummy wine.

WINE ADVOCATE 90 POINTS - "The 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Moccagatta is one of the more compact, linear wines in this vintage. The Moccagatta offers up sensations of bright red fruits, flowers, spices and vanilla in a rather unyielding style. The wine should improve in bottle but the tannins will likely always remain somewhat firm. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025."
