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.

as an over achiever. The 2005 is a solid wine especially for those who enjoy the uniqueness of fruit and specific vineyard characters.
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."

Sweet roses blossom on the palate, followed by succulent ripe raspberries, mint and baking spices. As the wine sits in the glass the layers continue to fill out, revealing a wine of first-class pedigree. This is an exceptional effort from the Produttori! Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030."

WINE ADVOCATE 92+ POINTS - "The 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is usually one of the more reticent of the estate’s Riservas, but in 2005 it is especially unyielding. Still firm and tightly wound, the wine possesses notable detail and clarity in its fruit in a focused, compact style. Based on previous experience, I may very well be underestimating this wine, but only time will tell for sure. After several hours the Ovello opened up nicely and my impression is it will develop into a splendid Barbaresco?with time. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030."

WINE ADVOCATE 92+ POINTS - "The 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is wonderfully layered in its dark cherries, spices, menthol, licorice and minerals. The medium-bodied Pora is one of the firmer and more linear Riservas in 2005. Still, it shows exceptional balance in a powerful style that will require a measure of patience. Here, too, the finish is wonderfully elegant. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025."
