In terms of longevity, Cappellano's Barolos boast a structure that can keep stride with the great distance runners of Piedmont, like Conterno's Monfortino and Giacosa's Red Label.

Barolo at an Accessible Price Point
Rionda is a well exposed, limestone-rich vineyard that has the potential to deliver some of the greatest Barolos around.
In recent vintages Brovia established themselves as one of the great traditional estates of Piedmont. In the 2016, they leaped into an even greater level of quality. The wines are more refined, purer, and more detailed.
The 2016 vintage represents a high point for this great traditionalist. Just like the 2016 normale, the 2016 Garblèt Sué is one of the best examples of the wine that we've tasted.
Within the top ranks of Barolo, it's difficult to compete with Brovia in terms of value.
No place in their formidable lineup dramatizes this as much as their Barolo normale. In top vintages, this bottling over-delivers in an astonishing way.
I tasted the 2016 Villero during my visit to Piedmont last fall and was blown away. Tasting through the 2016 Barolos and Barbarescos really drove home what an important vintage it is. Even in the context of a great vintage, Oddero's Villero left a deep impression.
Brovia is one Piedmont's elites, and the 2015 Brea - Ca' Mia drives this home. The Brea Vigna Ca’ Mia is one of Brovia's most loved bottlings.
Vigna Rionda is one of Barolo's great sites. Rionda is a well exposed, limestone-rich vineyard that has the potential to deliver epic Barolos.
Buying Oddero's 2015 Villero didn't require more than a moment's thought. It's among our favorite wines from the vintage, and when you factor in price and quality, there's no competition.
The Barolos of Roberto Conterno are simply profound. The explanation for their greatness is easy. Roberto’s exacting standards focus on perfecting every little detail. The sum is an almost logic-defying profundity.
As we gear up for Festa di Barolo, my mind naturally turned to Piedmont. I tried to pull out all the stops with this list.
Conterno's Monfortino is otherworldly. It's one of the most profound wine experiences around, and it's a distance runner. The wine simply stops you dead in your tracks.
Rocche is a key site for Brovia. Not only does Brovia have a very choice parcel within this vineyard, but it’s also their oldest holding and home to their oldest vines.
There are few better things to end a meal with—or simply meditate over— than Cappellano’s Chinato. For us, it’s an indispensable part of our cold-weather drinking arsenal.
Brovia is at the top of their game. The 2015s drive this home once again.
This is one of the easiest purchases we’ve ever made. In recent vintages, Oddero's wines have really entered the zone. Their basic Barolo is easily one of the greatest values the region has to offer.
Last week, we offered Canonica's Langhe Nebbiolo and it sold out in less than two hours. Today, I'm happy to offer Canonica's rarely seen Barolo Paiagallo. Canonica's wines have become some of the hardest to find in all of Piedmont. Canonica’s Barolo Paiagallo comes from a mere 1.8ha vineyard.
For me, 1999 Monprivato is one of the most magical vintages of the wine. Mascarello’s Monprivato is one of the great monuments of Piedmont.
There are few better things to end a meal with—or simply meditate over— than Cappellano’s Chinato. For us, it’s an indispensable part of our cold weather drinking arsenal.
