I follow you and appreciate your take on Italian wines; especially re: traditionally made Nebbiolo from the Langhe!

The 2007 Buglioni Bugiardo (ripasso) is a lovely wine at a bit less than half the price of their Amarone; it has a splendid bouquet and a mouth-filling richness balanced by lively acidity; it could easily pass as an elegant Amarone.

I’m hoping they come back soon. The wines are certainly of amazing quality!

It used to fly out the door.
One guy, McDonald, worked for Amtrak and would bring in 8 to 10 people at a time, twice a month. He would do almost a case of the wines a month – always Amarone!
At the same time, it was hard to find good Amarone to buy and still not be gouging the public.
