Albino Rocca Barbaresco 2017
$85.00
In addition to the classic parcel of old vines in Meruzzano, Rocca’s Barbaresco now takes in young vine fruit from three Barbaresco Cru parcels: Ovello, Ronchi and Cottà. The 2017 is yet another stunning value wine. It’s a juicy, vibrant Barbaresco with ripe plum, charcuterie and graphite-like notes, a medium-bodied persona and lovely, powdery tannins.
The 2017 Barbaresco is a gorgeous entry-level offering from Albino Rocca. Ample and beautifully resonant on the palate, the 2017 possesses striking depth while retaining all of the glorious translucence of Nebbiolo. In this vintage, the 2017 has a bit more body and overall richness than is the norm, but that works so well in dialing up the sweet red berry, spice, mint and floral notes. It is such a gorgeous wine. 92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
A lovely expression of cherry, plum, licorice and spice flavors marks this supple red, which firms up midpalate through the finish, where dusty tannins leave a mouthcoating impression. Fine balance. 93 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

Fletcher Minion Nebbiolo 2019
$35.00Very much an Australian, wearing the sun on some pretty broad shoulders. Blackberry, kirsch, cut flowers, and notes of earth lead on to a fullish palate where there’s a concentration of aniseed, bay leaf and a compote of black fruits. Terrific width, but what we really love are the tannins. Savoury, firm and a texture […]

La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo 2018
$54.00Giorgio Rivetti is very proud of this wine and his work in this classic, slightly cool vintage. The La Spinetta 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo offers dark tones and bright fruit definition with forest berry, wild rose and cedar wood. I actually tasted some ripeness and softness in this wine, which adds to its immediate and universal […]
