    RED Wine      
    BREZZA, GIACOME
 Brezza remains one of the most under the radar growers in Barolo. His Barolos remain medium bodies, with a classic sense of austerity.

These wines are especially recommended for those of you who love traditionally made Barolo!

 BAROLO CASTELLERO
G. Brezza

Antonio Galloni - Brezza's 2010 Barolo Castellero offers up a super-classic profile of dried rose petal, anise, mint, coffee, sweet herbs and dried cherries. A gracious, mid-weight Barolo, the 2010 stands out for its soft, approachable personality and impeccable sense of balance. Sweet floral and spice notes linger on the soft, feminine finish. This is the most ethereal and fleeting of the 2010s. The Castellero is also a bit less polished and complete than the other Barolos in the range.		 2010 £48.00 AG92

 BAROLO SARMASSA
G. Brezza

Antonio Galloni - Expressive violets, flowers, mint, tobacco and dried cherries emerge from 2009 Barolo Sarmassa. Darker and more powerful than the Cannubi, the Sarmassa fills its broad-shouldered frame beautifully. Sweet herbs, anise and rosemary are some of the nuances that develop on the intriguing, beguiling finish. The 2009 should be cellared for at least a few years to allow the tannins to soften. Sarmassa has more clay than Cannubi, which lends depth and richness to the wine.		 2009 £48.00 AG92
2014-26
           
    GIACOMO FENOCCHIO
 With vineyards in the heart of Barolo production zone, the Fenocchio estate has produced wines for over five generations, following family traditions handed down from father to son.
Before the Second World War the wine was sold principally in local markets, but new energy arrived with Giacomo Fenocchio as he acquired new vineyard holdings in 1964.

 BAROLO
Giacomo Fenocchio
 

Richard Hemming, jancisrobinson.com - Juicy black bramble fruit with a charred beef edge. There's oak scent here too, lending a delicious cinnamon and clove spice. Serious structure with boisterous acidity cutting through the tannin. Smoky on the finish, and beautifully complex.

2011 £24.00
