It has been quite some time since I've drunk Luigi's Dolcetto and, now that you mention it, I can remember some vintages that were on the grapey side. That's not always a turn-off to me, though, not as long as the wine's balanced, which I found it to be in the past. He does absolutely great work in the vineyards and produces really fine, ageworthy Barolo, albeit in a relatively modern style.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322497686869465958.post-58083291391193612172009-02-19T16:33:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:33:00.000-08:00David - Just updated this post.

I'm also a fan of both Abbona and Baudana (I poured the '07 Sori dij But at my Italian wine on a budget class last night), so you picked quite the trio. What about the Baudana, though? Did you not care for it or just not get around to opening it?David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322497686869465958.post-32145188199204672412009-02-19T13:41:00.000-08:002009-02-19T13:41:00.000-08:00I will have to try some more Arneis.

Point me to the Anna-Maria dolcetto next time i am in (which will be Saturday), as it has gone three for three on people i trust.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
