1. Not a producer I've had before but apparently an up&coming star. Took over the LaMorra estate of her family at age 24. Her background in Burgundy really shows thru in this wine. A fairly new addition to the Kermit Lynch portfolio.

Funny, I had this over the weekend as well. I very much enjoyed it, and yes, it seems that her wines often get called "Burgundian" Nebbiolo, which makes sense. The softer more elegant interpretation certainly helps with the food I eat. I've also dabbled in her Barolo bottlings, which of course need even more age. Definitely someone to watch, if one is attracted to the style.

Interesting, Rahsaan. B/B are often labeled as the Burgundy of Italy. But if they're made too much like Burgundy and don't have the tannins that rip your head off.... they're not authentic B/B!!

Yes, I've heard some critique her by saying she's just making softer and less character-filled Barolo. But that doesn't resonate with me. I like the character of her wines!

Apparently her vines are also the highest-altitude plots in Barolo, which adds to the tone and character.
