Briccoserra (a blend of red grapes from Piedmont in northern Italy) offers awkward aromas of mature fruit and smoked meat, along the lines of honey baked ham or cured beef. You can feel the heat in the mouth and the bold intensity of the structure.

This is a gorgeous expression of Barbera with deeply sophisticated notes of exotic spice, smoke and toast that follow bursting notes of ripe fruit and blackberry. At first the wine feels soft and velvety on the palate and then that telltale acidity kicks in at the end.

Barbaresco Vigne Erte offers aged aromas of black mineral and wet river stone backed by bright aromas of forest berry and black cherry. It’s a smooth, polished wine with a firm tannic backbone and impressive length.

Black notes of spice, plum and ripe prune emerge from the nose of this concentrated and rich expression of Barbera from Alba. The Serraboella interpretation puts a lot of emphasis on the freshness and overall quality of the fruit.

A sinewy wine that begins with barnyard and blueberries wrapped around a mineral core. The palate is earthy and medium-bodied with diffuse berry and molasses notes that lead to a medium finish with jazzy white pepper spice. A good partner for hangar steak. Drink now.

Dense and chewy, this highly nuanced example offers up an enticing combination of animal notes (sweaty saddle, leather) and vibrant fruit (raspberry, cherry). The abundant tannins and ambitious level of oak will benefit from five to 10 years aging.

Here’s a rich and densely extracted Barbaresco from the Erte vineyard in Neive that will appeal to those who like a bigger, more extracted style of Nebbiolo. The wine is bursting with intense layers of black fruit, prune and plum followed by sweet tones of exotic spice. The mouthfeel is chewy, tart and very firm.
