I disagree that Giacosa has been punished by Gambero Rosso. Just the opposite – Giacosa has been awarded numerous Tre Bicchieri.

Great post, in any event – thanks for the translation!

Thanks for translating. Funny but at last year’s Tre Bicchieri I thought Mascarello and Giacosa were not present because they didn’t need to be, not because they are being discriminated against… Somehow I don’t see either of those brands being the victims. I see a variety of styles being embraced by the American Nebbiolo drinking public, from modern to more classical. So the final portions of the text seem to be quite one-sided.

I talked to some old winemakers in Piedmont and asked if there had always been so many vineyards. Ma no! Hehe. I still have to look up what wines they made there very long time ago. Seems to have bean frizzante and very light.

This is a primary source document for the traditionalism/modernist debate, and should be required reading for everyone interested in wine, whatever their personal taste. Thank you.

I grew up in the California wine world, and it wasn’t until drinking the great wines of Italy that I realized wine wasn’t just a family thing but my thing as well. This translation (and much of this blog) is just more fuel to the fire to go out and find the true producers of Barolo and Barbaresco (and other great wines), or even better, get back to Alba (or elsewhere) and enjoy them in their home country.
I’ll look forward to continued reading of your blog!
