* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This bright Pinot Nero from Monferrato in Piedmont offers ripe raspberry and cherry aromas with spice, polished stone and leather. The wine is simple and lean in the mouth.

I have to admit: I 've never "gotten" this wine. This ne plus ultra of Gavi just doesn't do it for me. Vaguely sweaty aromas join almond and unripe peach scents on the nose, followed up by lemony, underripe flavors.

Standard tart and refreshing stuff, with added notes that hint at anise and sour cream. Light-bodied, drink as an apéritif.

This vibrant metodo classico Brut sparkling wine from Piedmont delivers rich tones of peach, sun-dried apricot and toasted bread. It has tonic, persistent perlage and offers a creamy, sophisticated feel in the mouth.

Here’s a Cortese-based white wine that rests on the lees for extra texture and richness. The wine is redolent of peach, apricot, honey and exotic fruit. It feels fresh and linear on the close.

This is a broad and sophisticated Gavi sparkler with rich aromas of mature peach, pear, toasted bread, yeast and lemon meringue. The wine is textured and dense in the mouth but its lively effervescence keeps it fresh and zippy on the close.

Lean, sharp and herbal, this is a true apéritif wine that whets the appetite. A slight sour-cream note on the palate is offset by a tangy citrus-laden finish that blends in some cinnamon-spiced pear flavors.

Very toasty aromas, with scents of baked apples and honey. The wine seems slightly overdone, maybe a tad overripe. You get that from the mushroom and heavy apple flavors on the palate. And the finish is hot. However, with nothing terribly off, the wine is solid. —M.S.

Very sulfuric at first, such that it takes too much time to find its legs. Flavors of citrus and herbs are marred by an egg flavor created by the sulfur. Just not that fresh due to funky aromas, although in its favor, it improves with time.
