These Piedmont classics are my favourite wines, perhaps. They’re also expensive enough that I can’t really afford a favourite producer, but rather, try different producers for special occasions. That tar characteristic is so compelling. I’m heading to Barolo in a few weeks to learn more!
@@drmatthewhorkey I really like powerful reds and I have always been opting for Barolo. Just love the complexity. Don’t have that much experience with Barbaresco tbh, will definitely explore more !
New to the Nebbiolo game but I picked up the Barbaresco "Giacone" from Cascina Alberta (2018) on sale recently, and it hooked me into wine like never before. Roses in a glass?!? I'm in
Have fun!! These two are good places to start. You are spoiled for choice as the quality overall is very high. I would suggest going to a wine shop like La Vite Turchese in Barolo and taste a lot before deciding who you want to visit.
My favorite Barbaresco is from my good friend Italo Stupino, from Castello di Nieve. Love the Barbaresco normale and the Santa Stefano Cru. "Killer" !!!
Barbarella is only about 11 miles away from Barolo as the crow flies and nebbiolo is the same varietal for both, but WOW what a difference in price!! The difference in taste doesn't justify it imo
Little late with my comment, but here in Ecuador unfortunately, we don't hace too many options on these wines, but one I love that I can find is La Ca' Nova, a small producer from Barbaresco. They're Barbaresco 2018 normale is easy-drinking and outstanding, and I've tried one of their 2 crus, from Montestefano, which is also great but better for the cellar for now (I tried the 2019)... Have you tried this producer?
There are more greater producers in Barolo than in Barbaresco. Producers come first, and terroir come second. I dont really bother about vintage in Piedmont. What is most important is the style of wine-making. Thankfully we are seeing less barriques, really cant stand prominent oak with delicate grapes like Nebbiolo.
@@drmatthewhorkey What are your favorite producers of Barbaresco/Barolo? Mine are Gaja and Roagna for Barbaresco, and Bartolo and G. Rinaldi for Barolo. As much as I'm firmly in the traditionalist camp, I admit that Gaja's wines are splendid, for Barbaresco. For Barolo, alot of people are loving Giacosa and Conterno for their powerful style but I very much prefer the floral elegance that Bartolo and G. Rinaldi have.

@@drmatthewhorkey Thank you very much 🙏
When you say 5-10 years do you mean after release? Like the vintage is 2019, but release is around 2023? So would you drink a 2019 after…2028?
After release not afte the vintage

Ohhhh I know that wine of course and yes, the Santa Stefano Cru, what a vineyard!! Good taste.
Barolo for a special occasion, Barberesco for a daily wine. That’s how the Piedmontese people handle it 😉
Whoooa Barbaresco as a daily wine… that’s living in luxury
@@drmatthewhorkey he was thinking Barbera, not barbaresco. That’s how it is in Piemonte.
@@EqualsDeath You made Dolcetto cry!
@@itsmederek1 dolcetto is good too but Barbera is consumed in much bigger quantities :)

Very good producer! Enjoy it. Not bad for a selection in Ecuador
@@drmatthewhorkey there are some importers bringing interesting stuff here! Love the channel, keep up the good work, greetings from Guayaquil!
I had both Barolo and Babaresco. I prefer Babaresco anytime
Ohhhh why is that??

Good call on the oak treatment!
