Taliano, Roero Riserva, Bric Bossola, 2021
Roero Riserva isn’t well known here, but it’s a worthy alternative for more expensive Barolo, especially if from a single vineyard as here (Bric = a hilltop). Roero lies just across the river Tanaro from Barbaresco.... Read More

Taliano, Roero Riserva, Bric Bossola, 2021
Roero Riserva isn’t well known here, but it’s a worthy alternative for more expensive Barolo, especially if from a single vineyard as here (Bric = a hilltop). Roero lies just across the river Tanaro from Barbaresco. the Riserva must be aged for a total of 32 months before release, including a minimum of six months in barrel (here about two years in wood, half in small barriques, half in old vats). If you enjoy a traditional Italian red based on tannin and acid, look no further. Lifted strawberry perfume (and that perfume is there even after you have emptied your glass). Overt strawberry and raspberry flavours, vibrant and crunchy, over a classic Nebbiolo tannic structure, giving a fine-grained texture. Very aromatic - lending dramatic length - with hints of leather, pepper and liquorice. This always has great keeping potential. Was rather wonderful with rare roast beef. Now-2033
The brothers Alberto and Ezio Taliano, third generation growers, make wines which are transparent, true to the grapes and vineyards, and offer excellent value in an area where prices are often challenging. They farm 13 hectares assembled over quite a wide area, largely in Roero, which is just to the north of the river Tanaro, but also across the river in Langhe, source of their Nebbiolo d’Alba and Barbaresco.
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
