$56.00This 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo is a fantastic introduction to the Cigliuti style of pure, ripe fruit framed by supple tannins and cleansing acidity. A lighter style Cigliuti but by no means light. Classic aromas of cherries and roses lead onto a fine yet sumptuous palate. 100% Nebbiolo from 15-year old vines growing on the Bricco […]

Albino Rocca Nebbiolo d’Alba 2018

The Nebbiolo vines here vary in age from 15 to 60 years. The 2018 was matured for 12 months in large Austrian and […]

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 […]

Cascina delle Rose Mixed Pack
$549.00 Per case of 6A few words from Ned Goodwin MW on the vintages: “2019 is the first of a triumvirate of very good vintages, following the forward, frisky and imminently approachable 2018’s. To make recent comparisons, 2019 is dense of extract with a bulwark of firm, marked tannins. It is frequently compared to 2013, by others to 2016. […]

Cantina della Stazione Barbera d’Alba DOC 2021
$45.00Dave Fletcher’s wines all possess a cool, savoury sleekness, but in the Barbera we find more flesh, mid palate weight and rounder shape. Perfumed and heady with bright. Dark, blue and bramble fruits. Some tertiary notes too of cocoa powder, Asian spices and turned earth. There’s a little more heft here and the tannins, savoury […]

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. […]

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 […]

Cavallotto Dolcetto D’Alba Vigna Scot DOC 2020

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 […]

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 […]
