This wine just gets better and better. Early vintages of the Nebbiolo were sourced exclusively from Massolino’s younger vines in Serralunga—a declassified Barolo if you like. Today there are two more parcels in play: Monforte’s Cascina I Maschi vineyard lies at altitude right on the border of the Barolo area, where the soils are rich in chalk (Massolino credits this cool site with the resultant vibrant perfume and ripe acidity); then there’s a parcel in Alba on lighter, sandy clay soils, which brings power and fruit concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eThe blend is roughly one-third from each terroir, and there’s little doubt the sum of these three sites has bought even more brightness and early drinking appeal to what was already an outstanding Langhe Nebbiolo.

It’s an appropriate name seeing that one of the people behind this outstanding tequila is LA-based punk guitarist Andy Coronado. The other significant player is the renowned tequilero Melly Cárdenas, who fashions La Gritona at her small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco. One of Mexico’s few female master distillers, the fiercely independent Cárdenas—who has 20 years of quality Tequila production under her belt—shares Coronado’s love of the exceptional and unconventional, and leads a team staffed by only local women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a Reposado, La Gritona is light on colour and sweetness—Coronado and Cárdenas want none of the flavours that mask many commercial Reposados like vanilla, chocolate and dulce de leche. Instead this is packed with delicious, honest and savoury, roasted agave flavour, reminiscent of the old-style ‘rested’ Tequila, before the mass market took hold: “It’s tequila like our grandparents drank,” says Cárdenas. Working with 9- to 10-year-old, mature Blue Weber agave grown in the iron-rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands, every step of production after harvest takes place under Cárdenas’ own roof. The agave is steam-cooked in a single, thick-walled earthen oven for 24 hours and then allowed to rest for another 24 hours before crushing. The collected liquid is naturally fermented (no additives are used to push things along) in open steel vats at a rate dictated by the ambient air temperature and the wild yeasts, usually lasting between six to nine days. The double distillation takes place in small steel stills.  Those bespoke bottles by the way are made from recycled Mexican glass, hand-blown just an hour’s drive from the distillery. Coronado uses any recycled clear glass he can find (mostly old Coke bottles) then chips in a few Dos Equis bottles for the green tint!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distilled blanco is then rested in reused American whiskey barrels for eight months before bottling.

Despite being a lesser-known grape, it plays an important role in the history of this domaine. It was Hans-Günter Schwarz (the legendary cellar master who made the wines here from 1962 to 2002) who brought Rieslaner to Müller-Catoir and planted it in the Haardt’s Herzog vineyard. Schwarz made some fabled sweet wines from Herzog Rieslaner (which are nigh-on impossible to find), and since 2003, Franzen has enthusiastically taken up the torch. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\" sugg=\"true\"\u003eRieslaner’s inclination to botrytis (even in dry years) while retaining high acidity makes it Müller-Catoir’s most reliable sweet wine variety.
