James Suckling & Zachys wine event NOBLE B': BRUNELLO, BARBARESCO ANDBAROLO TASTING

               Hey #WINELOVERS!
              This wine event happened in #NewYork at the City Winery on Tuesday May 6th! The great thing about this wine event is that the wines exhibited were all premium wines. It definitely showcased the top italian wine producers! All of the wines featured were graded 90 points and above by James Suckling.

Most of the Barolos were great, but the ones below grabbed my attention: 


                                                        
(with Simone Ortale [Agronomist] of Casina Adelaide)                                            He displayed 3 Barolos: Cannubi 2010, Pernano 2010, and Fossati 2010.         My favorite was Cannubi 2010 (shown in the picture above).


 Amazing producer!
 Roberto Voerzio presented 2 Barolos: Fossati Case Nere reserva 10 Anni 2004, and Vecchie Vite Dei Capalot e Delle Brunate Riserva 2007. My favorite was Fossati Case Nere Reserva 10 Anni 2004!


                                                                                   The amazing wine producer Bruno Giacosa and his daughter Bruna, featured 2 Barolos and 1 Barbaresco. Barbaresco Albesani Santo Stefano 2011, Barolo Le Rocche del Falleto 2009, and Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva 2007. The three were marvelous!



           
 With Anna Abbona (picture on the right) and Valentina Abbona (picture on bottom left). What a great duo, mom and daughter! From Marquesi di Barolo.                                                                 They presented 3 Barolos: Cannubi 2008, Sarmassa 2007, and Riserva 1990.     The latter was my favorite!                                                                                                      


                                               The Boffa family displayed 3 well-structured Barolos. Barolo 2010, Barolo Ornato 2009, and Barolo 2004. My favorite was the Barolo 2004!          
                        

                                         Great wines from Paolo, Mario, and Guido Damilano. They brought 3 Barolos: Cannubi 2009, Cannubi 2008, and Liste 2008.  My favorite was Cannubi 2008 (shown in the picture above).

 (Ciacci Piccolomini)                  
 My favorite of the three: Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso Catareina d'Oro Riserva 2007                                                                                
   

                                       Katia Nussbaum has some amazing organic wines!! San Polino displayed 3 Brunellos. Brunello di Montalcino 2009, 2008, and 2007. Katia also brought a great bottle that was not listed, the 2006. My favorite was the 2007 vintage. 



 Campo del Drago 1999 (Castiglion del Bosco). This wine brought by Massimo Ferragamo was a great addition! It is a very unique and special bottle. The dragon on the bottle is actually carved!

                                                          What a great producer! Casanova di Neri featured two Brunellos.              My favorite of the two was Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2008
