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.
Roberto Conterno's work with Barbera is without peer.
The Barolo Francia comes from one of Serralunga’s top sites. The commune is renowned for the density, texture, and heft of its wines.
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.
In short, Carema is an alpine Nebbiolo of breathtaking grace.
Even though much of the trip was spent tasting the great 2016 Barolos and Barbarescos, the 2018 Barbera Bricco del Cuculo was the revelation of my tastings. I immediately asked the importer how much I could buy.
Barolo at an Accessible Price Point
Small production, great vintage and a strong following.
Rionda is a well exposed, limestone-rich vineyard that has the potential to deliver some of the greatest Barolos around.
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.
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.
Rabajà is one of Barbaresco's crown jewels.
It is a dazzling wine. The site produces wines of impressive power, but that's only part of the story. Rabajà is above all about completeness and elegance.
Roberto Conterno is simply a force of nature and one of the most talented people working in wine today.
As the summer heat rages here, I'm happy to offer Conterno's incredibly refreshing and expertly crafted rosé.
Earlier this week, we offered Ferrando's 2016 Etichetta Bianca. Today, we return with the much more limited Etichetta Nera.
Compared to Etichetta Bianca, Etichetta Nera is richer, denser, more masculine, and intense. It’s a powerhouse wine, but with breathtaking finesse.
The Mascarello estate makes some of the most soulful and compelling wines anywhere.
Today, we're happy to pay tribute to Mascarello with an offer that covers three vintages of their Barolo, including 2010 and 2013, and their Freisa, Dolcetto, and Barbera.
Carema is alpine Nebbiolo of breathtaking grace.
For decades, Ferrando's Carema has been the benchmark for the beauty and profundity that Nebbiolo achieves in the northern extremes.
The wine world has become obsessed with Rinaldi's soulful, finessed, and old school style.
It's become nearly impossible to find the wines in quantity. Today, I'm happy to offer the 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo, one of the hardest wines in the lineup to find.
Nervi-Conterno simply hit the bullseye with their 2016 Gattinara.
There's no doubt that 2016 is an important vintage in Piedmont. The wines are gorgeous.
