This lighthearted and fragrant expression of Nebbiolo opens with playful notes of cherry cola, blueberry and dusty mineral that give the wine backbone and staying power. Pair it with lamb or pork chops.

Here’s a red blend from Piedmont that opens with an inky-dark color and rich concentration. Aromas of Maraschino cherry, blueberry jam, spice and cinnamon complete an intense, albeit not particularly complex, picture.

Barbera is among the most food-friendly wines from one of the most unabashedly food-friendly countries on earth. This expression is elaborate and bright with plump fullness wrapped around a crisp, refreshing close.

This large-scaled wine shows plenty of tannins to match its concentrated black cherry fruit. Complexity comes in the form of tobacco, earth, and understated cedar and vanilla notes. Try after 2010.

The nose is toasty and smooth, with lots of spiced fruit showing. In the mouth, things turn a touch heavy; the fruit is mature and full, but it’s heavier than ideal. A finish of black pepper, exotic nuances and ripe flavors keep it firmly positive; some mushiness is the lone drawback.

Bold and rich by 2005 Barolo standards, Bricco Visette offers a bright embroidery of berry, spice, oak and tobacco aromas. Firm tannins support the wine at the back end and will help it age gracefully for the next ten years or more.

Here is a bright, polished Barolo with impressive intensity and complexity. The wine delivers aromas of red berry, cola, cherry liqueur, forest floor and black licorice. Pair it with veal with wild rice and mushrooms. Drink from 2015–2018.

Pinay is a tight and defined red blend from northern Italy with bright accents of cherry cola, forest berry, licorice and dark mineral. There’s a sharp, sour note on the close that would pair with smoked cheese.

Dense right from the start, with coffee, asphalt and black-cherry aromas. An earthy wine with a round palate full of chocolate and berry fruit, it’s power-packed in the mouth, where some drying tannins make their mark but don’t overwhelm. Has all the qualities of fine Barolo. Drink in three to five years.

Handsome nose of dark cherry fruit, chocolate and toast. Rich and mouthfilling, with good fruit that is buttressed, but not overshadowed, by oak. Moderate acidity and tannins, but nothing harsh or off-putting. Layered fruit with chocolate and licorice on the long mouthwatering finish. Best Buy.
