This is a very exciting time for connoisseurs
of fine Italian wines. Fans of Tuscany have seen huge ratings and
sought-after releases from great 2006 Brunello di Montalcino
vintage. For the fans of Piedmont, the 2007 Barolo vintage is
also going down in history as "greatness in the making" for Barolo
and other Nebbiolo-based wines. Below are excerpts from articles written
by professional wine publications Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and James
Suckling, both elaborating on this excellent Barolo vintage.
2007 Barolo: Greatness in the Making

Wine Advocate (Feb. 2011)
The 2007 Baroli are

are similar to the 2004s, but with more substance. The wines are radiant,
intensely perfumed and totally seductive, yet not at all heavy, in a style that
offers the textural richness of a warm vintage with the aromatics of a cool

Tasting Report: 2007
Barolo
By James Suckling
(former Senior Editor of Wine Spectator) (May 2011)
The 2007 vintage certainly is pleasing; sexy
would be another way of describing it. The Nebbiolos from 2007 give so much
pleasure already but they are balanced with a gorgeous backbone of tannins as
well as opulent fruit. I like to think of them as a mixture of the
fruit-forward 2000s with the firm and bright 2001s. The vintage is clearly
better than 2006 - a rather lean year.
