The best Barolo at Da Fabiana, Bossolaschetto, Piedmonte with the three Cubans. 95 euros. Complex, big, quite elegant. However, the Langhe Nebbiolo last night might be better, forgive me. Curly really liked it. — 7 months ago

Great frizzante. Very light and bubbly with substance like kombucha. I was drink this at the pool. Enjoyed at GroSperi in CPH. — 4 years ago

Delightful. Create a chicken parm with a twist and some steamed spinach. I needed to decant it and let it breathe for a while. During the aperitivo hora. — a month ago
