Cellarmaster Jeff Chilcott described 2010 as "a cooler year with a lot of tannins," adding that the wines are a bit tough today. Production of the estate's Gaiun and Camp Gros bottlings was considerably higher in 2010 than in 2009, added Chilcott, but although the two vintages are quite different in style, I found them similar in quality. By the way, don't miss the 2008 Camp Gros, which showcases di Gresy's sappy, perfumed style, with atypical depth and weight. It remains to be seen if the painfully young 2010 version will equal the '08.

Cellarmaster Jeff Chilcott described 2008 as "a cooler vintage that deserves time; fragrant and structured. It's a nebbiolo baby." But the estate was not yet willing to show the Camp Gros or Gaiun. The two 2007 Barbarescos produced here are knockouts, offering a rare combination of texture and perfume. Chilcott describes 2007 as "silky," 2006 as "robust," 2005 as "aromatic," and 2004 as "round and approachable." By the way, don't hesitate to snap up a bottle of the wonderfully creamy and soft 2010 Moscato d'Asti La Serra; it's far from the nerviest moscato on the market, but its pure fruit salad and floral aromas are intoxicating. Also recommended: 2010 Dolcetto d'Alba Monte Aribaldi (85).
