Vintage Barolo VS Barbaresco Piedmont Wine Tasting Friday, September 16th 7:30pm and all the Barolo and Barbaresco in the store on SALE!!!
"Good wine needs no bush."
(from: As you like It) William Shakespear 1564-1616 English Dramatist & Poet
Barolo is one of the world’s most age worthy wines, but there is very little of these older vintage wines available on the open market today. I like to compare these Italian treasures to the great wines of Burgundy, another region that deals with harsh conditions with a varietal that is very finicky. Nebbiolo like Pinot Noir only produces great wines in the a few areas of the world.
Barbaresco has always been considered lighter in style than Barolo but today that is not necessarily the case. It is a much smaller wine producing region and with less producers than Barolo, so it is not as well-known and therefore not as respected by collectors although today many feel that Barbaresco is just as good as Barolo but we are doing scientific work here at Wine Watch so we wanted to give you the chance to decide which is better.
Join us as we experience some of the best producers from both Barolo and Barbaresco going back to the epic 1997 vintage. The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $295 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
I have included all the Barolo and Barbaresco in the store on this offering for those of you that can’t make the tasting.

A brief History of Barolo
Barolo has a long history of wine production, the area was named some 400 years ago and probably came from the Celtic brolio or brol, meaning "wood" or "orchard". The region of Barolo encompasses approximately 3,000 acres of vines situated southwest of the town of Alba, in all or part of 11 communes. First is La Morra, with nearly one-third of the total acreage. Following in decreasing order are Serralunga d’alba, Monforte d’Alba, Barolo, and Castiglione Falletto, and parts of six other villages. One of the most famous and most sought after vineyards in Barolo is Cannubi.
There are two main valleys in the Barolo production zone: the Barolo Valley to the west, and the Serralunga Valley to the east. La Morra and Barolo itself are the major villages in the western valley, which also encompasses Cherasco, Novello, Roddi d’Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Monforte are the major towns; Diano d’Alba and Grinzane Cavour are also included in this district. There are distinct characteristics that are indigenous to the wines of various area: the wines of Serralunga Valley have suggestions of licorice and tar, the Barolos of Serralunga itself display camphor and mint; those from Castiglione Falleto have a pronounced licorice characteristic as well as nuances of spice, mint, dried peaches, and prunes; those from Monforte recall spices, mint hazelnuts, and almonds. The wines from the Barolo Valley bring up underbrush and truffle, as well as licorice. Those wines from the village of Barolo have less of a licorice character but more suggestions of underbrush, truffles, and mint. The wines of la Morra, especially those from the slopes, combine nuances of white truffle, mint, tobacco, spices, cherries, and blackberries and those from Cannubi display motes of white truffles, underbrush, raspberries, and black cherries.

Barbaresco
Barbaresco is a red wine produced in northwest Italy’s Piedmont region. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, like its Barolo counterpart, is a highly tannic and acidic wine that needs years of cellaring to reach harmony. Prior to being released in the market, DOCG regulations require that the wines are aged for a minimum of 26 months, with at least 9 months spent in wood barrels; for the riserva bottlings, there is a mandated period of 50 months aging, with at least 9 months spent in wood barrels. Although Barbaresco and Barolo have much in common, traditionally Barbaresco tends to express a more feminine side, while Barolo is characterized as masculine and stately—but certainly exceptions exist. Expressive aromatically, scents of dried cherry, raspberry, licorice and rose petals are typical of the wine.
