Riserva Monvigliero is a wine of lovely intensity and personality with a pretty array of spice, balsam, cola, violet, candied fruit, plum and cassis aromas. It offers traction and length thanks to the fine, streamlined nature of the mouthfeel.

Made with the little-known indigenous Pelaverga Piccolo grape, this ruby-colored red wine from Piedmont delivers a crisp, fresh and streamlined package that is distantly reminiscent of Nebbiolo. It’s rustic but ripe with personality and if you are curious about new Italian varieties, give it a try.

Here’s a very elegant and ethereal expression of Nebbiolo with measured aromatic accents of drying mineral, wild berries and Indian spice. This is a delicate and feminine wine with freshness, tartness and a very fine quality of tannin.

Although this Riserva already has six years of age, it opens with surprisingly bright and youthful tones of cherry, blackberry and cassis. Those fruit aromas are folded within evident oak-driven aromas of spice and vanilla. The mouthfeel is firm, polished and this Barolo should age more years in the bottle.

A steep slope on the backside of Barbaresco’s main street, the Rabajà vineyard cru is among the region’s best and most celebrated. Vintners lucky enough to source fruit here are part of an elite winemaking group. This youthful expression delivers wild berry, cedar and black licorice overtones. Drink in 5–10 years.

With a little extra aging on it, this Riserva Barbaresco offers a full and generous mouthfeel and tight astringency with dark fruit, plum and spice aromas that give the wine heft and power on the delivery. At the back, earthy aromas of pipe tobacco or wild mushroom also appear.

Massara is a gorgeous, seriously beautiful expression of Barolo with dark concentration that follows straight up to the wine’s rim. Opulent aromas are of forest fruit, cherry cola, licorice, mesquite shavings and root beer. The wine has all the qualities for a long aging future including acidity, tannins and pulpy fruit tones.

Massara is textbook Barolo with elegant and ethereal layers of wild berry fruit, underbrush, hazelnut, cola, tar and licorice. The finish is characterized by bright acidity and fine, polished tannins. Pair this wine with any dish that includes wild mushrooms or truffles.
