Lakme Lip Color Price

PIEMONTE. BAROLO. Gigi Rosso. Part 1.

with a break, but continued to narrate impressions of those wineries that have attended in his last trip to Piedmont in October

One of the top wines from GIGI ROSSO - Barolo Arione 2005 Brother Russia - Claudio (in depth) and Maurizio (opens a bottle)

Thus, 4 October, it came to the estate GIGI ROSSO (Gigi Rosso).

It's pretty a small family winery, which is headed by the patriarch Barolo wine production units (as we know some of the most prestigious Italian wines) Gigi Rosso , which has been for 40 years (!!!) hones skills of their wines. He was already a fairly old age, so he is actively involved in helping two sons - Maurizio and Claudio. Brothers, but how different in character!

Claudio engaged not only in the production of wines, but also marketing and for a time lived in America (which I think has imposed upon him a kind of "commercial" imprint). In addition, he also wrote a book about Barolo (one of them, he signed us and presented). As regards Maurizio, then the memory comes word that's a man! "(And show your thumb!). Sufficiently calm and even somewhat in the shade Claudio, but "who knows the music," and when he should be out of the shadows. He is the chief oenologist and wine-grower. Already at parting a few days (he arranged us "Vintage" and "earned it" dinner in a rustic trattoria) were surprised to learn that it is up to 2009 headed the Wine Consortium Barolo !

As usual review of the winery began with cellars and barrels ; time to visit Maurizio talked about the stages of production (just brought up here another batch of Nebbiolo), and ended, of course, tasting of all wines economy.

winery itself is in Castiglione Falletto , in the heart of the region Barolo, a family-owned, Russia is a few elite vineyards (so-called cru).
brothers are fans of Maurizio ecological approaches in winemaking and in the near term will be special. certificate, which indicates organic origin of their wines (ie, uses only organic fertilizer, the refusal to the maximum of chemicals).

Vineyards , owned by "Gigi Rosso":

1. ARIONE . One of the most prestigious cru, from the southern exposure in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. Soil - limestone + clay (it. calcareo-argilosa) are ideally suited for grades Nebiolo and Barbera and give wines of elegance, structure and sosobnost to prolonged exposure.

2. MONCOLOMBETTO . Located in Diana d'Alba doc and is situated on a hilltop at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level Area 5 hectares planted exclusively variety Dolcetto (which translates as "Honey", although wine is still dry), is considered one of the best areas for this "Rustic" grade (ie, having a typical rural village or even the aroma and taste).

3. ROCCA & GIOVINO. These two vineyards with a total area of 17 hectares planted with varieties Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Freyza (before the trip to Piedmont, I reported this grade and had never heard). These vineyards are located on a hill near the village of vyrshine Altavilla d'Alba Tanar between the river and the vineyards of the famous Barbaresco.
