Barolo San Biagio

San Biagio 2006 Verduno Pelaverga
Classic white pepper characteristic of Peleverge, with a fruity backdrop, balanced with good acidity, medium-medium light body, with a long spicy finish

San Biagio 2005 Dolcetto d’Alba
Typical deep ruby color, fruity with spice notes, pepper, good acidity, lengthy finish and integrated tannins

San Biagio 2005 Barbera d’Alba
Animale selvatico, prunes, berries, fresh on finish, balanced with sweet round tannins and plenty of acidity

San Biagio 2004 Barbera d’Alba Superiore
Big Barbera, pepper notes, animale, sweet tannins, leather and a l o n g finish

San Biagio 2004 Langhe Nebbiolo
Earth, typical Nebbiolo color, tannins are strong, but sweet and long. Overall harmonic, but probably tastier in 2 years

San Biagio 2004 Langhe Rosso Jenin (100% Cabernet Sauvignon)
I didn’t want to like it after Gianluca told me it was Cab. I probably rolled my eyes- what are you doing with Cab in Piemonte? I was wrong. Spice, leather, round and meaty with a long finish, balanced tannins and good acidity. Maybe all Cab should come from the Piedmont

San Biagio 2003 Barolo
Dried plums, cinnamon, animale selvatico, grosso (not one word in English for rich and round without being fat, maybe “rubenesque”), harmonic with firm, ripe tannins and a long balanced finish. Hints of cypress trees.

San Biagio 2001 Barolo Sori del Rovere
Petrol, dried fruits and orange peel. Tannins are well integrated with a good finish and spice notes
