Among the wines produced by the winery La Querciola, we find a very interesting Langhe Rosso 2009 DOC with the name Barilin on the label. Even if, according to the production disciplinary, several grape varieties can be used for assembling this wine, the winery has decided to use Barbera in purity. Fermentation takes place in… [Continue Reading]

There is nothing better than a dinner among close friends combined with good wine and food. On the table I have served the Barolo Margheria 2006, from the Gabutti Boasso wine farm of Serralunga d’Alba (Cuneo) and my guests really appreciated the choice.  Known as the “king of wines” for its good structure and general… [Continue Reading]

It is subjected to an aging period of at least 2 years (one of them in oak or chestnut barrels)… [Continue Reading]

To welcome the new year 2013 in a proper way I’ve decided to taste the Dogliani D.o.c.g. 2006 San Bernardo from the Bricco del Cucù wine farm, of Sciolla Dario in Bastia (Mondovì – Cn), a piedmontese delicious red wine with a really good structure and intensity of aromas which make it able to compete… [Continue Reading]

Paired than with… [Continue Reading]

Everybody knows Dolcetto as the perfect table wine, the one our grandparents used to serve with simple but tasty piedmontese dishes. Dolcetto has a good structure and it’s produced with Dolcetto grapes in purity. It is a red dry wine, not sweet as the name (dolce=sweet) suggests. Dogliani’s area is, without any doubt, the best… [Continue Reading]

Before vintage 2011 there was still a difference of Designation for the Dolcetto di Dogliani: we could find DOC for the Dolcetto wines and DOCG for the “Superiore”ones, because with a higher alcohol percentage. In 2011 all the Dolcetto wines have become DOCG and the word Dogliani is only written on the label. The wine… [Continue Reading]

The most widely grown red grape variety in Italy, after the Sangiovese, is the Barbera, that is used “in purity” for the production of its own piedmontese wine. Originally from the Monferrato area and then into the Langhe hills around Alba (Cuneo), the Barbera is now a wine of prestige thanks to better techniques of… [Continue Reading]
