     October 30, 2006: VINI BUONI D'ITALIA 2007 by Mario
    Busso and Luigi Cremona:
    The winery is located on the hills of Monforte d'Alba in  
    Località Ornati. Their wines confirm this year the pleasant 
    surprises of the past years, and it is obvious the commitment
    of the property towards merging tradition and modern
    tecnnologies in the vinification. The personal style of the
    Winery is in each of their wines where the link wine-grape-
    territory is constant. 2002 Tenuta Roca Barolo is complex
    and tannic, and it shows potential for improvement with
                       aging. Tenuta Rocca Barbera d'Alba is rich, full, fruity and
                       round, but needs more time. Very characteristic is Dolcetto,
                       that shows mature fruit and balance.
