Cantina D’Arcy Langhe Nebbiolo 2020
$105.00Myers’ drop-dead gorgeous Langhe bottling is based on two 30-plus-year-old parcels of Nebbiolo rooted at the foot of Barbaresco’s famous Ronchi Cru. This celebrated, limestone-rich site runs along the southern belt of the appellation, near the town of Barbaresco itself. The deeper soils of the vineyard’s lower climbs gives a more open style of wine—exactly […]

Massolino Barolo 2019
$110.00“The 2019 Barolo is a very serious wine. Readers looking for an easygoing, entry-level Barolo will not find that here. Bright and sizzling with tannin, the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to fully come together. Crushed rocks, red/purplish fruit and dried flowers emerge with some coaxing, but this is really […]

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste 2017
$295.00Considering some of the casks spent up to 2 months on skins, this is remarkably pure with extremely fine tannins. Compelling aromas of cassis, tar, cherry cola, leather polish, nutmeg, liquorice, cigar box, roses, cherry and violet. Tighter than the Le Vigne, and I prefer this in 2017, although usually Le Vigne gets my nod. […]

Albino Rocca Nebbiolo d’Alba 2020
$55.00“The 2020 Nebbiolo d’Alba emerges from the part of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio that is in Alba (as opposed to in Barbaresco). Wild cherry, cedar, tobacco, spice, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that open in the glass. Mid-weight structure and polished tannins add to its considerable appeal.” 93 […]

Cascina delle Rose Barbaresco ‘Rio Sordo’ 2018
$145.00Another classic Nebbiolo profile, but perhaps more animal, elemental and masculine. Fresh leather, rose, sandalwood, Port wine tobacco, aniseed, blackcurrant, blueberry and dark cherry. Rich and deep, but with no loss of elegance or purity. Interwoven red, blue and dark fruits, sweet balsamic, juicy, not so much as linear, but nevertheless precise, expansive and palate […]

Lalu Langhe Nebbiolo 2021
$90.00Organic. This vibrant, perfumed Nebbiolo equally blends two sites that were both planted by Lalù. The first site, Roncaglie in La Morra, is a plot of land that Lara Rocchetti and Luisa Sala bought in 2015 and planted in 2017. Looking towards Verduno, this parcel faces east at an altitude of 400 metres. It’s a […]
