Quite ripe and rich on the attack but with an underlying power of spice and fruit that gives both structure and drive. Drinking well already. L&S (Feb 2012)

With its accessible tannins, Beppe Accomo's Nebbiolo (the grape of Barolo and Barbaresco) is made to be drunk while still in its youth, although this is perhaps just about a young adult, with the gorgeous, slightly floral cherry fruit accompanied by subtle savoury notes and that elusive earthy, autumn leaf quality you get in this part of the world. Rating: 92 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (Jan 2014)

Fantastic - has the sort of earthiness and animal tones that Pinotholics long for. Firm structure still, but just entering its drinkable window. Delicious - actually has a chocolatey character that reminds me of old Hunter Shiraz. Rating: 17.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2013)

Much more interesting on the nose, less dominated by the oak than the 2009. Still has some vanilla sweetness but has more floral notes. A little more austere than the 2009 but also a little more grainy. Some tea aroma again, strawberry, lapsang, touch of olive. Dense and very very young. 2013-2018 Rating: 17.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2012)

Bricco Maiolica

Beppe Accomo is a passionate and ambitious viticulturist making wines of excellent quality on his 20 hectare estate, in a beautiful valley in this prime spot at the heart of Diano D'Alba. In 1928, his grandfather who worked the land as a sharecropper, managed to buy 5 HA of this perfect terroir - and the family has proudly continued that tradition and clung on to this prized terroir ever since, adding parcels of vines as they can.

Beppe makes gloriously uncomplicated, yet sophisticated and engaging wines that do not require years of bottle age. They are wines you just want to drink! His Barbera is from old vines which produce tiny bunches of grapes making a wine with concentrated aromas of black cherries, deep colour, and fine rich flavour with hints of chocolate on the finish. Equally successful is the deep purple, ripe morello cherry fruit-packed Dolcetto - one of the best from Diano d'Alba by a long stretch. His Nebbiolo is also chock full of raspberry and bilberry fruit with tremendous structure and length making it one of the best simple expressions of Nebbiolo which can be drunk on a regular basis and when relatively young.
