This very elegant Nebbiolo from Giulia Negri in the Langhe is from a North facing vineyard which is the highest in the Barolo region. Giulia was influenced in her wine making style by her experience in Burgundy. We picked this up after the SPIT tasting….

Cheers @Wilsononwine for introducing the likes of Bodegas Bideona and their site specific wines, much to explore here from Laderas (Alavesa), Las Parcelas to the beautiful village wines L4GDA (Laguardia) & V1BN4 (Villabuena)

@sineadamc He may have been well advised!

This amused me greatly, I was rooting around in my Dad’s cellar in Germany thinking I wouldn’t find anything interesting to open and what do I find but a whole stash from Dautel! 🕺
