About

Welcome to an independent exploration of the world of wine. Here, we uncover the fascinating journey of grapes from vine to glass, discover the dedicated winemakers and their origins, and delve into the unique flavors that make each bottle an experience. I'm not a sommelier, nor do I have any affiliations with wine importers or stores. I'm simply a wine enthusiast who enjoys documenting my tasting adventures and insights, all while maintaining the utmost impartiality.

The Langhe Nebbiolo is sourced from a vineyard in the village of Barbaresco, known for its lean soils rich in mineral salts. The harvest is carried out by hand, with the grapes undergoing mechanical pressing that expels the whole stalks without crushing the seeds. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in steel tanks, with maceration lasting around 15-20 days. This Nebbiolo is aged exclusively in steel and concrete, which helps to maintain its purity and expression of the vine and terroir. Bottling is done in the waning moon phase, with no filtrations or clarifications.

·@Lo Bar·Cascina delle Rose Unveiled by Vasyl Velykanskiy

Pale like some Australian Pinot Noirs! The nose is seductive with notes of wild strawberry, mulberry, earth, peonies, and a hint of mushrooms. Wonderful texture—delicate, multilayered, and complex. Almost perfect balance with a long, juicy aftertaste. There's even a hint of blood sausage in the finish. Gentle yet full of character.
