My top three

Ettore Germano, Cerretta Sergio germano’s favourite Barolo from his portfolio is the quintessen­ce of Serralunga – power and intensity without being heavy, with a shock of electric energy to balance the concentrat­ion and depth. 97 Drink 2019-2031

Poderi Aldo Conterno, Cicala

One of the great names who helped to revolution­ise the quality and image of modern Barolo. The 2008 Cicala truly reflects some of the cool, green, balsamic qualities of the vintage; edgy, tightly structured but generous and approachab­le. 93 Drink 2019-2029

Bruna Grimaldi, Badarina

This producer was an exciting discovery for me at the 2018 nebbiolo Prima. The quality impresses, as does the enthusiasm and commitment of Simone grimaldi, involved since 2015. One to watch. 92 Drink 2019-2030
