We are continuing the success of Barolo Night, this time destionation: Stockholm!
As per usual, we start the weekend with Friday Pizza and some “low key” wines. As you can see in the picture below the “low key” wines are quickly escalating! We did blind tasting Friday as well – because why not?? For me Wine of the Night was the Voerzio barbera, which is strange because his wine are normally not my taste. Vietti at a close second, but who are we kidding: all the wines are good!
Saturday went a little crazy – look at that lineup! Double blind tasting, as in we didn’t know which wines were which when we were tasting, not even our own. Super interesting both to compare the ones in each round but also comparing them all at the end. More detailed notes will follow!

A few weeks ago, Barolo Night 2.0 took place in Oslo. Overall there were 9 wines, tasted in 3 rounds and here are some tasting notes on the first round. Round 2 and 3 to come!
Mauro Molino Vigna Gancia 2008
Reddish brown. Flowers and dark berries on the nose. Round tannins, long finish
Enzoboglietti Riserva 2004
Reddish brown. Earth tones, leather, dark berries and dill on the nose. Tannins present, fruity.
Mauro Sebaste Prapo 2011
Reddish brown. Some petroleum on the nose. A little thin, tannins present.
In this round I was surprised by the Mauro Molino and the Enzoboglietti. Tobias (@tobias_wineandfood) loves Molino and is trying to make me love it too. And he’s not far away from his goal. Enzoboglietti was so impressive that I decided to visit them when I was in Piemonte in March. When it comes to the Mauro Sebaste I was not that impressed with the wine, nor had I heard of it before. Maybe I will learn more about it in the future, but your now I am sticking with the wines I already know and love.
Although you can’t find Enzoboglietti in Norway, if you’re in find their wines you should try a glass (or a bottle). A medium size winery in La Morra (100 000 bottles a year), this family run winery produces many great quality wines of many good wines.
Among them are Brunate, Boiolo and Case Nere. They have plots in Serralunga, Barolo and La Morra (and a few other places) and they make 15 different types of wine! Read more about them here.
