I have mixed feelings about these 2011s from Guido Porro. The wines were beautiful when I tasted them from cask last year, but an extra year in the cellar does not appear to have been beneficial. My impression is that the 2011s should have been bottled earlier, as the wines come across as a bit dried out.

I tasted Guido Porro's 2011s from tank just prior to bottling. The 2011s here are beautifully expressive and full of promise. Porro remains one of the more under the radar growers in Piedmont. Over the last few years in particular, Porro's wines have been particularly brilliant. Readers looking for traditionally made wines that haven't skyrocketed in price will want to check out Porro.
