Flavio Roddolo has become one of our most treasured sources of no-frills bottles from Piedmont. Roddoloandnbsp;works his six hectares of vines in the hills outside Monforte with an immense amount of skill and devotion. His wines are stirring, soulful and singular, the product of a master in harmony with his surroundings. His are not wines to bowl you over with bravado or charm. They speak frankly and clearly of their place and they draw you in gradually, with strength and conviction but never with force. Once they have your attention, they are impossible to forget. If you are a lover of rock solid traditional Piemontese wines, you will find it is simply a matter of time before your admiration for these wines becomes an obsession. From vines just outside the traditional Barolo classification. 30 day maceration, aged in old barriques and bottled unfiltered. 250 cases produced.

Classic, rustic Nebbiolo. Nothing fancy, but certainly enjoyed. Needed a lengthy decant which I did not give it. Will be interesting to see how this develops over the next several years. Rating may very well improve.
