Merenda Sinoira

Kidi Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

9.0

Napa cab vibes. Big fruit. Biggish tannins. Is cran-lime a thing? Saliva still firing from the acid.

A little departure from most Nebbiolo, but I like it.

Excellent Chardonnay to accompany a fantastic “merenda sinoira” with Ferruccio and Anna in Monforte D’Alba. Paired with salami, tuna, stuffed peppers, stuffed chili pepper, hummus, marinated zucchini. Fantastic Saturday. — 6 years ago

From our friends at Le Volpe e l’uva in Florence. A simple but really enjoyable nebbiolo from the Langhe. Doesn’t seem to have the backbone for ling ageing...but it’s drinking beautifully right now. Went great with the linguini and basil cream sauce (with tomato and basil chicken meatballs) we made for dinner. Yum! — 5 years ago

2006 Vigna Merenda from the Sarmassa hill. First of a four-pack. Gave it a quick aeration. Fragrant nose, whiffs of raspberry, loads of dark cherry. A little alcohol on the nose. Served a bit cold at first, but nice flavors of bright cherry, anis / licorice. Tight and still young. Next night after more time to breathe, much softer: more what seems to be expected from the Vigna Merenda. Glad I have a few more to work through over the next several years. — 10 years ago
