Out of Brovia's consistently stunning line-up of single Crus, Rocche is always the stand out.
Carema is about an hour's drive from Barolo and amounts to its alpine cousin. It's one of the most riveting and most versatile wines around.
Roagna's 2017 Pira is jaw-droppingly good. It boasts an incredible spectrum of layered red fruits, game, earth, tar, herbs, and spice. All of this is backed up by a beautiful finesse and verve.
In 2018, Cerretta rivals Francia in a vintage where no wine was earmarked for Monfortino. This is no simple feat.
Few wines are so nuanced and complicated that the more you taste them the more deeply you become obsessed with them.
Roberto Conterno's work with Barbera is without peer.
Few wines deliver the mysterious depth and sheer soulfulness that Pagliaro does.
The Barolo Francia comes from one of Serralunga’s top sites. The commune is renowned for the density, texture, and heft of its wines.
When they were released, we felt that the 2013 Roagnas represented the high-water mark for this well-established estate.
In short, Carema is an alpine Nebbiolo of breathtaking grace.
Castell'in Villa, Conterno, Ferrando, Montevertine, Roagna, Valentini & More

Barolo at an Accessible Price Point
In his hands, the obscure, complicated, and somewhat unruly grape reaches a level that's without peer. There's nothing quite like Teran and Zidarch elevates the seriously noteworthy grape.
Bea's importer, Neal Rosenthal, calls Cerrete: "Perhaps the greatest combination of height and exposition in the appellation."
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.
While Le Pergole Torte is the pinnacle of the estate, the Rosso di Toscano represents incredible value. It's one of the smartest buys that we know and there are vintages where the gap between Pergole Torte and the Montevertine bottling narrows considerably. The 2017 is such a year.
The wines of Serafino Rivella possess such honesty and precision that it's hard not to be wowed by them. There's something mysterious and special about the wine. They have plenty of finesse and feel devoid of artifice.
