This weekend was sentenced Italiana in the old press in politics. Vini d'Italia is the largest Italian wine festival where you can really get himself a broad overview of Italian wine are high quality and fascinating diversity. I have collected some notes on some of the best impression on the red front:
2000 Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo, Ghem
Beautiful, mature nebbiolofarve and nose with mushrooms, nedfladsæbler and strawberry porridge. Beautiful and vivid in flavor with material and structure for many years to come - good, soft fruit and delicious, juicy tannins. Papillon import.
2004 Fratelli Ferrero, Barolo Gattera e Luciani
Court developed nose, but with more suppleness in fear and acid. Strawberry fruit in the nose with caramel, rubber and nøddetoner from the cask. A little dump pg dusty front of the mouth, but opens up really nice back with good acid cadence and hard tannins. Sour berries, heavy smoke and fadgummi a long aftertaste. Papillon import.
2006 Foradori, Teroldego Rotaliano
Beautiful, sparkling nose with a lighted fruit of blueberry, apple porridge, a little cocoa and liquorice - almost spritz of fragrance. Weaker in the mouth, where it is refreshing but not so complex and lacks a little grip. Surely a winner at the table where it should not perform against tougher structured wines. Bichel import.
2007 Cagiorgna, Etna Rosso
Yes! Nerello Mascalese at full blast! Smoke, wet clay and bold spring flowers in the nose. Slim and medium full body with ok acid, estimates minerality, good concentration and lovely, strong tannins which makes late but vigorous. Ok length and overall nice, sleek PowerShot style. Sticking out in the crowd, but live probably just not up to the price of 369, - Distinto import.
2006 Tirburzi, Sagrantino di Montefalco 'Taccalite'
Dark, sweet nose with stewed of dark berries, juicy wood and caramel. Soft and thick in flavor - dark, rich fruit well balancveret high, 'deep' acidity and very good tannin grip. Too much alcohol early in his mouth and dominates the aftertaste. Good length and super acid, but annoying with the dominant alcohol. Maybe it will dampen slightly with time. Distinto import.
Sottimano, Barbaresco Fausoni, Pajoré and Riserva
Sottimanos Barbaresco stored in 25% new barriques, but that does not print fadbamser bored at all. Here is super track of drums, and Sottimano works closely with cooper on the right egetype and light roasting degree. For riserva produced special dishes.
07 Fausoni is incredibly open the jar, really floral and perfumed aroma of fine, red fruit and bell-clear hazel nuts. Mil in flavor and (for type) easy finish. One can see the open and warm vintage and Neive milder terroir - is surprisingly ready to drink.
07 Pajoré is a slightly different case. Dividends vinification and storage are 100% identical to Fausoni, but there are clear differences: Pajoré is more serious, complex and knotty with darker fruit, licorice and heavier sand tannin structure. It does not so much as Fausoni right now and here and the acid is not so pleasing, but there is better grip and focus to the structure. Must be.
04 Riserva (blend of Cotta and Pajore, made in 04, 05 and 08) have significantly more closed nose, giving almost nothing compared to småsøstrene. Sweetish nebbiolofrugt and leather tones. Great fullness of flavor, really impressive and unexpected compared to the detaining scent. Great fruit and mega grip - serious and very nice balance. To the future! Atom Wine imports Sottimano. With approx. DKK 300 for non-riserva are priced somewhat high compared to the competitions in the price range, but it's an incredibly likeable and dedicated producer of top-selling products across the board.
Poggio di Sotto, Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino
07 Rosso: Wow, the best rosso I have tasted ever. 2 years in large casks and clear: Traditional sangiovese pass up the tube in surprisingly mature in nature. Large, sweet, sweet sangiovesefrugt with rhubarb compote, vaniliesukker and fungi. Slightly weaker in the mouth where it can have something light and slightly acid poor. But juicy and with really nice balance and great elegance.
05 Brunello is slightly more closed, 'brown' in style. Does not at all like a big step up compared to Rosso and it's probably something not even the two cohorts and Rosso very brunelloagtige upbringing considered. Same sweet character and greater weight, but also Brunello is tannin poor and seems easy and a bit lax in the finish. I gave all my attention, but it needs enough time after all. Atom Wine import.
2008 Vietti, Barbera d'Asti Three Vigne
Open scent of black cherries, liqueur-filled chocolates and sødlakrids in otherwise relatively slim style. Good concentration in the mouth and nice balance of dark fruit, freshness, richness and acidity. Unmistakable barbera. Along with Aldo Conca Conternos Three Arrows 07 the best barbera today in my opinion.

Along with Aldo Conca Conternos Three Arrows 07 the best barbera today in my opinion.
2006 Vietti, Barolo Castiglione
Traditional but very open nose with smoke, nuts, cherries and plums. Very nice 'meeting' of the elements of taste - focused fresh and fierce. Strong tannins which fades in at the right time. Recalls Germano in style but not quite as distinctive.
Ettore Germano foriøvrigt was also among the highlights, especially 05 Cerretta which has the amazing characteristic of Brazil nuts in a sweet nebbiolofrugt-nose. 06 Prapò had lit fruit and super-aggressive tannins, but not quite as open. Niche Wine imports Vietti, Viniropa import Germano
2006 Barolo from Brovia, Aldo Conterno and Giovanni Corino
2006 Brovia, Barolo Rocche has closed nose with smoke, chalk and slender bright berries. One can smell the dryness. Fine taste, with chalk, high acid and tannin brutal finish, which makes early action and release very reluctantly. Raspberries and blackberries umødne hold well into the aftertaste.
Aldo Conternos 2006 barolo is hard and edgy, seems a little bland and uninspired pt. But nice sweet fruit in the medium-bodied style and really delicious licorice in both aroma and finish. Serious and with crossed arms, but with good balance and closely interwoven elements which bodes well.
2006 Giovanni Corino, Barolo Giachini is clearly the most open and rewarding barolo in this trio of Conterno, Brovia and Corino. Supports La Morra, the prejudice the perfumed, accessible style. Sweet flowers and plums in the nose and really yummy, soft nebbiolofrugt in flavor with red berries, plums, licorice and smooth grip. Almost barbera-vibes in both nose and mouth .. This is an absolutely fantastic Barolo range Domaine Brandis import!
Felsina
Felsina is among the best producers in Chianti with enkeltmarksriservaen Rancia Chianti Classico and IGT-wine Fontalloro in front.
Felsinas Basic Chianti 2008 Chianti Classico is fresh and classic with rich black cherry, branched tones, yoghurt and light fruit sweetness in the nose. The taste has good acidity, fine berry and green tones. Between Rich and body built for the table.
2007 Chianti Classico Riserva Ranci a is not in the 07-year group no charmer on this day. Closed and not super-interesting in the nose. The taste offers really nice and hard structure. Sour cherry and accents sødtobak with dark licorice in the finish. Good, sleek finish.
2007 Fontalloro (IGT Toscana, 100% sangiovese, 20 months in barriques) is an entirely different conversation. A fantastic wine also on the day and in the somewhat difficult relationship here, where a wine Rancia is struggling. Wide open, sweet nose with big fruit filling and delicious fadnuancer. Very nice, deep acid in flavor, almost like indkogte apples. Lots of caramel and sour berries. Beautiful, vigorous and perfectly put tannins and mega long, delicious aftertaste with tannins are hanging on the teeth. Beautiful! Domaine Brandis import.
Massimago 1883
Massimagos 2008 Valpolicella Superiore is a fantastic barrage of fresh, red and soft fruits. School Valpolicella in the nose and one with a scent like this, what do you do with Ripasso and Amarone? Lagrein-style with ripe soft cherry spritz of acidity a la red currant porridge, milk, and grass. Fresh taste with great fruit, fruit acid gets it almost to a sense bubbly. Delicious fruit currants and ripe cherry sweetness underneath. Seductive and super surprise.
2006 Amarone della Vapolicella have the same elements, but does not feel unexpectedly heavier. Deeper fruit, more complex, with sweet-spicy features enormous concentration and heavy sweet licorice. The mandatory alcohol is not forsaken and feel so little clumsy here too (but it is perhaps a matter of habit when it comes Amarone). But nice new acquaintance! Viniropa import.

Domaine Brandis (Tom Brandis center) stands for Vini d'Italia which is an excellent event where much of the best Italian wines are represented. It is a unique opportunity to sample the breadth and quality within an all genres and regions. I missed this year suffered the previous year's bright rooms and tranquil ambience. There were too many people this time (the late Friday session), the long queues at the end of the table and the dark, noisy hall in politics was to make a frantic overall impression, which made it difficult to speak calmly with importers and producers who were present . But nevertheless, as always, interesting and with good experiences in between. Very very great wine in one place! See you next year :-)
