Barolo smaking STOCK 20. november 2017 del 1

2010 & LA MORRA

Barolo 2010 Elio Altare , rik på nesa, dyp og mørk farge. En del fat fornemmes, fioler, en moderne vin i dette selskapet. 89 poeng

Barolo 2010 Roagna, mørker frukt med frisk og spenstig Serralungasyre. Mye steinfrukt og vinen bør fortsatt lagres. 92 poeng

Barolo 2010 Massolino, grove tanniner, kirschaktig på nesa, viser ørlite mere sødme enn Roagna. Denne ble luftet lengre. 91 poeng

Barolo Monfalleto 2004, Cordero di Montezemolo, klassisk og delikat 2004 frukt på nesa. Kjølig og tørr i stilen. Virker enkel, men den er kompleks i sin mineralitet og steinfrukt. Litt kort i ettersmak. 92 poeng

Conteisa Langhe Nebbiolo 1998, Gaja mye eik, vanilje, solbær, snev av Australia, utviklet stil, men overraskende god og kjølig frukt. Selv om vinen bader i ny eik. Tørrer en del på finish. 90 poeng In 1995 Gaja bought a propriety in La Morra. The property is 10 hectares, almost all included in the Cerequio vineyard. The winery (an obsolete building which they do not use) had a stock of older vintages. It took them a bit of time to understand what they had. The propriety was named Gromis. The stock that was in the cellar was inspected, some vintages have not been sold because they did not like the quality, but some other vintages were very good (1970, 1982, 1989, etc) so Gaja released them with the label Barolo Gromis. CONTESIA CEREQUIO BAROLO was the label Gaja devoted for the best Cerequio parcells (some vintages were already in the barrels at the moment of the acquisition, for example 1991 or 1993). So for those wines they took care of the last part of the ageing. In 1996 Gaja decided to devote 4 hectars in the heart of Cerequio cru for the production of Gaja Conteisa Langhe Nebbiolo DOC which (like all of Gaja's single vineyards …Costa Russi, Sori San Lorenzo, Sori Tildin and Sperss) is a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera, in this case 92% Nebbiolo and 8% Barbera. The rest of the propriety was allocated to the production of Barolo Gromis. Over the years Gromis has changed. 1. The name has been changed to Dagromis (which in Italian means "From Gromis"). 2. Since 2001 the wine is produced not only with La Morra grapes but also with Serralunga grapes. Gaja family owns two proprieties in Barolo area - one in LaMorra and one in Serralunga (from which Sperss is produced). Serralunga gives quite austere and structured personality to Nebbiolo while LaMorra gives the most gentile and elegant character. Dagromis is the expression of both
