Note to self: buy more Amirault and lay down. I’m struck by its age worthiness, knit and powdery tannin. The grapes are farmed from three different soil types. There has been a slight increase in SO₂ addition as the domaine feels they were too low in the past. Stash this away for twenty years.

I visited this property back in 2002, at that time it was one of the few organic properties in Barbaresco. The family is old-fashioned and that’s the way the wines are made as well. Here’s a nebbiolo with a touch of cumin seed and raspberry coated licorice.
