Tasting Notes: Baptiste Cousin's "Ouech' Cousin" is a real treat. With a Grolleau in carbonic maceration, one can expect something a little too "light"... Here, of course, one finds that suppleness, crisp red fruit and the freshness typical of this grape variety, but the mouth remains silky, delicate and ripe, proof of a healthy harvest harvested at maturity. The Domaine Batossay still offers a wine of disconcerting ease but which does not lack depth.

Tasting Notes: This wine tends to be his lighter red, a vin de soif which still has a touch of structure and elegance. Most of this feel comes from the fact that the wine is mostly made up of what is called the running juice. In what I often see repeated with small winemakers, they will make a different ageing to this juice, which naturally comes from the grapes during the maceration and the press juice, which comes from when they actually press the grapes. The running juice tends to give a lighter wine in feel and structure. In 2019 this is around 85% Gamay from a grower called Patrick Thomas in Saint Georges sur Layon, grown on limestone. Côme gave the grapes a 12 day carbonic maceration, then aged in tank, before blending before bottling with just a touch of his Grolleau Noir 2018 and Cabernet Franc 2017, which all came from the same grower. Both of which he already had ageing in his cellar. The idea is to just to give a touch of structure to the wine.

Tasting Notes: "Macaia" is a word of the Ligurian dialect, probably of Greek origin (from malakia, languor), or perhaps English ("muggy air"). It indicates a particular meteorological condition that occurs in the Gulf of Genoa, the sky is overcast and the humidity is high. Given its specificity, the word has taken over in nautical and meteorological terminology. Over time, the term has also taken on a metaphorical meaning, indicating a particular melancholy and gloomy mood, mixed with anger. The grapes after harvest macerate for about 15/20 days. Affinage takes place in steel tanks and 4 months in old wood barrique and then an additional 4 months in bottle before release.

Tasting Notes: Hand picked fruit, left to sit overnight to cool down, crushed and de-stemmed the day after into open fermenter either wood or stainless. After a few days of maceration when the cap rises Lapo start plunging daily from once a day up to 4 times in middle of the fermentation. Drained off to press when bone dry, usually after 4 weeks on skins. Lapo does combine free run and pressings. Racking of the wines happens at least couple of times in between the pressing off and the completion of Malolactic fermentation before the entonnage happens. Only neutral barrels are used. The wines are made with no addition of selected yeasts, malo bugs, copper sulphate, fructose, tannins and the sulphites are kept to a minimum. BAROLO del Comune di La Morra is a blend of two excellent crus Bricco Rocca and Fossati , which are spontaneously fermented in open fermenters. Despite the hot July and August vines were not stressed and the fruit conditions were excellent, picked early in October. This Barolo shows pure fruit character, great depth and beautiful tannins, an absolute beautiful expression of the Nebbiolo grape.

The wine is obtained through spontaneous fermentation and using only indigenous yeasts, not clarified and unfiltered, aged in large cement vats.
