Langhe Nebbiolo Colombo 2021 & Barolo Garesio 2015
Gian Luca Colombo makes wines which are transparent, that give a clear, honest expression of the vineyard. Given that some of these vineyards are so special - you only have to look - the last thing you want to be doing is constructing a wine by using too much wood, or extracting too much, to make it taste like a Super-Tuscan, as many do. Gian Luca is mastering this craft of expressing the site, the terroir, the climat. And it is quite wonderful.
If you want to mix it with another wine from Barolo, the Garesio 2015, also made by Gian Luca, as a consultant winemaker, at £40 is outstanding. It's hard to find Barolo with this maturity. It's got beautiful notes of rose petals, hints of spice, and a lovely melange of maturing Barolo on the palate. This comes from from the Cerretta cru, in Serralunga, famous for Conterno's Cerretta, which is a few hundred pounds a bottle, and others, too, along with adjacent cru, Gianetto.
