Barolo and Barbaresco ? Age and Beauty
Thomas Rivers Brown is one of California?s most in-demand and influential winemakers of our modern day, with a hand in many of Napa?s and Sonoma?s most sought-after and acclaimed wines. And when we asked him for a collection of some of his best wines for this auction, he gifted us with a beautiful selection of wines from the Piemonte region of Italy, home to the noble Nebbiolo grape, one of his favorites.
Like Thomas? wines -- which are beautifully crafted, rich and expansive -- these historic Barolos and Barbarescos are all that and a consummate representation of their individual standout vintages.
These 6 bottles represent almost 20 years of the greatest vintages of Barolo, from 1964 through 1982, and have stood the test of time.
All in 750 ml. and cellared in optimal conditions:
1964 M. Mascarello Barolo Riserva
1971 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Rio Sordo
1974 Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis
