Spontaneity and vitality
If it is true that four noses are needed to understand a Barolo, as Pavese always reminds us, it is also true that not even a decade of tastings and continual visits are enough to critically comprehend an area like the Langhe that, in regard to its complex interpretations, is not inferior even to Burgundy.
Thus put yourself in the shoes of your truly, whose visits to the hills around Alba are shamefully sporadic. One thing appears to be beyond question: if it is true that 20-30 years go the new young producers who brought in roto fermenters and the use of barriques sought to challenge tradition, and were met with diffidence, it is also true that over the years the so-called ‘traditional-style’ producers were influenced by the results achieved by the young producers in the 1990s. This perhaps without admitting it, to then forget and start again, improved.
