2010  Broglio, wood box

The local dialect for sharecropper is schiavenza which should give one a clue as to the style here; this is no modern barrique aged Barolo estate. The Barolos here are aged in the traditional large Slovenian barrels called botti, they use only naturally occurring yeasts and ferment the wines in cement cisterns. Their holdings include approximately 8 hectares split between Serralunga and Monforte D’Alba and include the heralded crus Prapo, Bricco Cerreta, and Broglio. In the vineyard, Schiavenza does not use pesticides or herbicides; harvest is manual and is conducted according to the phases of the moon. The only piece missing from all of this information is just how good the wines are. The quality here is shockingly good. Schiavenza’s wines are elegant, pure expressions of Nebbiolo that would embarrass many a more famous addresses. Wine Spectator: 94pts.

2015  Erse

Erse is named after the Greek goddess of sunrise as a fitting tribute to the time of day when this dew-kissed vineyard is the most picturesque. Erse is made from a blend of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, and Catarratto grown in the ancient volcanic soils on the hillsides of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. The grapes are fermented and aged in stainless steel in order to deliver all the undiluted character and freshness of this unique terroir. -- Bright ruby-red in color, Erse entices the senses with aromas of crushed berries, plums, and smoky minerality. On the palate, it is a delicate, finely textured red which unfolds into a lengthy, elegant finish.

2015  Calderara Sottana Vechie Vigne

Calderara Sottana Vechie Vigne -- Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio -- Colour : pale ruby with mahogany hues. -- Nose : penetrating bouquet, rich ripe fruit and spice. --Flavour : structured, full and complex, with rich tannic feel. The estate is located on the northern slopes of the volcano, with vineyards between the village of Solicchiata and the town of Randazzo, the area historically recognized as the finest in the appellation for fine red wines. The property consists of over 30 hectares, divided into 10 parcels in four crus, with a total vineyard surface of 23 hectares. Except for 6 hectares recently planted, the vines of the rest are between 50 and 100 years old. The vines of one parcel, having survived phylloxera, have reached the venerable age of 130-140 years old. Four parcels lie in Calderara Sottana at an elevation of 600-700 metres. By far the rockiest cru in the appellation, in the roughest parts you can’t see the soil for the black volcanic pumice carpeting the vineyards. Two vineyards lie in Guardiola, between 800 and 900 metres altitude, on very poor soil: volcanic sand mixed with basaltic pebbles and traces of ash. Two more properties lie in Feudo di Mezzo. Very old vines, also terraced, traditional alberello plantings, very tightly spaced, also worked exclusively by hand. Loose deep volcanic ash roughed up by a good measure of small volcanic pebbles. Two vineyards lie in Santo Spirito. Besides estate owned vineyards, Terre Nere has long term leases on 4 hectares and buys grapes from small local vignerons who follow organic procedures. All the wines are produced from local varieties, and all are D.O.C. Etna. Two versions of Etna Bianco are produced.
