Josetta Saffirio Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2018
$55.00
Classic Nebbiolo perfume of tar, roses, blood orange and cherry. Round in flavour, voluptuous even, but the curves are perfectly measured. Medium bodied, vibrant red fruits with a savoury structure. The squeeze of tannin is perfect, placing the fruit on a podium. Glorious Nebbiolo, for lovers of Pinot. Waters Wine Co
From younger vines in the same Castelletto terroir, the grapes were de-stemmed and given a 24-hour cold-soak for bright fruit retention and softer tannin. The wine was fermented in stainless steel, before 12 months in large oak barrels. Rather than being a ‘Baby Barolo’ style, this has a firm identity of its own.
“Floral and fruity with cherry and burnt-orange aromas. Medium-bodied, firm and chewy. Solid finish. Lightly bitter finish, in a good way, as it adds complexity. Drink or hold.” 91 Points, Jamessuckling.com

Sentio Nebbiolo 2021
$65.00A wonderful juxtaposition here between nebbiolo florals, fruit and tannin/acidity. There’s an imposing structural strength behind the delicacy of the florals and the concentration of fruit. It’s early days, but the basis for an exciting, long-lived wine is here. Rose, anise, cranberry, cherry, dried flowers, earth and leaves introduce a wine that the longer it […]

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. […]

Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba 2021
$95.00Barbara Sandrone describes this as a mini Barolo, as do so many Barolo producers when discussing their nebs, but marketing pitches aside, I don’t think that does it justice. You can have too much of a good (great) thing and the Valmaggiore is so elegant, composed and beautiful, without trying to emulate Barolo. Grown in […]
