  • Hi! I am Mark Middlebrook and I am here in the Paul Marcus Wines Cantina. And, I am going

  • to talk in this segment about Barolo, the king of the Nebbiolo-based wines from Piemonte

  • in northwest Italy. Barolo is a, what the Italians called a DOCG. Simply means an appellation.

  • A named style of wine. Made from one hundred percent Nebbiolo, a grape variety that is

  • indigenous to that part of Italy, northwest Italy. And, many people consider it to be

  • the greatest wine of Italy. Greatest type of wine of Italy. It is aged for a minimum

  • of three years. Typically in oak barrels, either smaller barrique French-style barrels

  • or larger bote. The more traditional larger casks. There are a variety of styles that

  • people use different kinds of barrels and so on. But, what distinguishes it is this

  • kind of profound expression of the grape variety Nebbiolo. Which along with Pinot Noir, and

  • Riesling, and perhaps Cabernet Sauvignon, makes some of the greatest wines in the world.

  • I have here two examples to kind of indicate a couple of differences. Both are made by

  • the same producer, the same winemaker and winery. Mauro Veglio is his name. It is a

  • small family winery as are most of the wineries, the producers in Piemonte. The main difference

  • between these two is the vineyard sources. This is a, what the Italians call Piemontes,

  • they call Barolo Normale. Normal Barolo. And, normale means usually a blend of different

  • vineyards, often somewhat younger vines, a little less complex. Although, still plenty

  • complex because it is Nebbiolo and because it is Barolo. But, the kind of entry level

  • Barolo if you will. The second wine, also from Mauro Veglio, is a single vineyard wine

  • from a vineyard called Vigneto Gaterra. Mauro actually makes three or four different single

  • vineyard wines, I just brought this one along. And, each vineyard has its own character.

  • As is true in Burgundy, in Germany for Riesling. Depending on the soil type, the climate, the

  • altitude, the exposure to the sun. All the things that we wrap into the French term terroir.

  • So, different wine made by the same person, in the same way, in the same year will taste

  • differently depending on the particular vineyard source that it comes from. More spicy, more

  • licoricey, more fruity, more tannin, less tannin, etcetera, etcetera. Different types

  • of flavors. I love to drink these wines. They are not inexpensive. Generally, retail in

  • the United States these days a Barolo runs between thirty five and a lot more than thirty

  • five dollars. Thirty five to eighty five maybe. It can be more than that. But, they are wonderful

  • wines to open at special occasion dinners. I like to decant them. They really, they are

  • wines that respond to air. So, pouring them into a decanter and then you get them in a

  • nice big wine glass that narrows at the top like this. You swirl and get some air into

  • it. Really really says beautiful Nebbiolo aromatics, which a lot of people describe

  • the aroma of Nebbiolo as tar and roses. That is, there is a dark, earthier, deeper, kind

  • of powerful component. Tar, earth, etcetera. And then, there is a really bright, floral,

  • aromatic, beautiful side. And, Nebbiolo is a great variety that really uniquely blends

  • those two notions of power and elegance. And, Barolo certainly makes some of the best expressions

  • of that wonderful combination.
