Conheça os 10 melhores Barolos e Barbarescos

A revista Decanter traz mais um interessante painel sobre Barolos e Barbarescos, os grandes vinhos do Piemonte. Ian d'Agata, um dos especialistas em vinhos italianos da publicação, selecionou os melhores vinhos da região sobre a ótica dos "Single Vineyard" ou "Crus" de vinhedo. 

Habitualmente, as seleções de vinhos do Piemonte são focadas no estilos de sua elaboração, sejam  "tradicionais" ou "modernos". Mas Ian d'Agata chama a atenção para um novo prisma de observação de Barolos e Barbarescos, focando na expressão de um único vinhedo, capaz de dizer claramente qual é a sua origem. 

Veja os 10 melhores Barolos e Barbarescos "Single Vineyard" selecionados por Ian d'Agata:

Aldo Conterno, Romirasco, Barolo 2006 

One of the most famous Barolo crus from the lightest soil. Classically structured but atypically lighter-styled. Red berries, violets, roses and lots of silk. 18.5pts/20 (95/100pts)

Drink 2018–2045

Ceretto, Bricco Rocche, Barolo 2006 

Arguably, Castiglione Falletto is home to the most balanced Barolos of all. Archetypal, suave and smooth. Richly flavoured red cherry and minerals, tobacco and spices.18.5pts/20 (95/100pts)

Drink 2018–2025 

Bruno Giacosa, Asili, Barbaresco 2005 

Italy’s best winemaker? Barbaresco’s best vineyard? A magical wine. A smorgasbord of sour red cherries, roses, minerals and tar. 18.25pts/20 (94/100pts)

Drink 2015–2035

Mario Marengo, Brunate, Barolo 2006 

Brunate makes the most intensely perfumed and balanced Barolo of all. Plenty of floral finesse and energy.18.25pts/20 (94/100pts)

Drink 2015–2025 

Paolo Scavino, Monvigliero, Barolo 2008 

Verduno gives tough-as-nails Barolo; Monvigliero is the one true grand cru. Stylish and pure, almost opulent. Great length. 18.25pts/20 (94/100pts)

Drink 2015–2040 

Cogno, Ravera, Barolo 2008 

Novello didn’t exist before Cogno arrived; today, it’s a hubbub of activity. Ravera is the best site. Typically juicy, full-bodied. Robust. 18pts/20 (93/100pts)

Drink 2015–2040

Pio Cesare, Il Bricco, Barbaresco 2006 

Cool-climate Barbaresco, from the crooked crags at 500m. Pure red berries and mineral brightness on a never-ending finish. 18pts/20 (93/100pts)

Drink 2015–2035 

Renato Ratti, Rocche, Barolo 2005

Rocche dell’Annunziata is one of the top five Barolo vineyards. Amazing balance and grace. Intense and lively finish. 18pts/20 (93/100pts)
Drink 2015–2035


Oddero, Vignarionda, Barolo 2006
Along with Brunate, the best Barolo vineyard of all. Traditionally made, with tough tannins: remarkable depth of spicy red berries and roses. Precise and mineral; this will age longer, and better, than you or I. 17.75pts/20 (92/100pts)
Drink 2018–2050

Chiarlo, Cerequio, Barolo 2006
Almost atypical La Morra: much bigger and creamier than the usually lighter-styled wines from this hamlet. Rich and fleshy, and made from vines growing close by Michele Chiarlo’s new luxury resort that overlooks this famous cru.17.5pts/20 (91/100pts)
Drink 2015–2028
