I’m being greedy here, but hear me out. Barolos (or Nebbiolos more generally) were one of my first few loves when I first got into wines. Then for some reason, I encountered a string of god awful bottlings for a few years. Don’t know what happened. Still don’t know why. Turned me off the wine completely.

Then came the recent string of absolutely delicious Barolos and Barbarescos. Even better yet: some of them drank so well young, without being “dumbed down”.

So, you can’t blame me if I’m propelled by greed to try and extend my good Nebbiolo luck. May the wine gods favor me.
