Walter attended this year's presentation of the latest vintages of Barolo and Barbaresco in Alba recently and, as far as we know, is sharing his impressions and tasting notes earlier than anyone else.
To judge from his descriptions of the antics and politics involved, perhaps the presentation should be called Nebbiolo Prima Donna rather than Nebbiolo Prima... There's no doubt that it's a grape that demands attention, which Walter gives it in no small measure in his most recent clutch of Nebbiolo articles, spanning the Barbaresco 2013s, the Barolo 2012s and Riservas respectively from 2011 and the revered 2010 vintage. All in all we present reviews of hundreds of these compelling and increasingly sought-after wines.
