(Day 10)
We made a quick stop in Alba for lunch.
We walked downtown Alba to a place called, Vincafe. I had Insalata Bergera…I made a wrong order…I thought it was going to be a salad with lots of greens. But instead, it was tons of cheese and walnuts in creamy dressing over celery. Waaah.
Please give me vegetables…
In the afternoon, we were back in the town of Barolo. We visited Bartolo Mascarello, which is also one of my favorite Barolo producers.
We tasted the following wines:
2009 Langhe, Freisa…”Padre de Nebbiolo”
2010 Dolcetto d’Alba
2009 Barbera d’Alba
2007 Barolo…from 4 different vineyards
Although it was a quick stop, it was great to be able to taste their new releases and also see late Bartolo's original artworks.
