Broccardo Barolo I Tre Pais 2020

BROCCARDO! Sweet December madness, where did you come from? It was Halloween last week, I’m almost certain! But winter is definitely here – just ask the fans in Buffalo who got paid to shovel out their own stadium before the Niners/Bills game on Sunday – and nothing…NOTHING tastes better on a chilly winter night than young BAROLO! This is a relatively new producer – three brothers got it all started in 2009 – but that was only after DECADES of top-notch grape growing from both their parents and grandparents, going back to the 1970s. 

100% nebbiolo, with the Tre Pais PART referencing the Monforte d’Alba, Barolo (town), and Novello sites that provide all of this delectable, spicy, crunchy, and pristinely perfumed nebbiolo goodness. Tar & Roses? You BET! Plus other classically nebbiolo and Barolo markers – from pencil lead to orange pith, black tea, brandied cherries, and those silky yet substantial tannins that coat every crevice across your palate. YOWZA, this is good! Wine Enthusiast made this a Cellar Selection – calling out its “harmonious balance” and “serious demeanor”, while James Suckling used his favorite code word for a wine that he absolutely LOVES…WALNUTS!!! If that doesn’t make this a sure thing…our UNBEATEABLE under $30 price will certainly seal the deal! 

Barely enough to send an offer, and this BAROLO is straight BUSSIN! Double 93 POINTS, people…go, go, GOOO!!!
