Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo d’Alba Casa Vinicola 2022

Nebbiolo from Roero, Piedmont

Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo d’Alba Casa Vinicola 2022

Giacosa’s Nebbiolo d’Alba uses fruit sourced solely from the Roero area, and the wine alongside both the Arneis and Nebbiolo Valmaggiore from here have a long and storied history with Bruno Giacosa. It is no coincidence that 1974 saw the first bottling of both Arneis and Nebbiolo d’Alba from Giacosa, as they were sourced from the same growers. The same is mostly true today, and where the Arneis is grown in the predominantly North-facing slopes of the vineyards in Roero, the Nebbiolo comes

Vajra Barolo 'Albe' 2020
🇮🇹A Vajra Classic 🍷

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Vajra Barolo ‘Albe’ 2020

You can't beat this value. The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Albe is buttoned up with fresh primary fruit, and the wine does not have that hint of over-ripeness that is found across this vintage. The fruit is dark and savory, and there is a big mineral component to match, but the bouquet is nicely redolent of dark currant, plum, granite and a raspy dry note that brings crushed shale to mind. The tannins are quite impactful, and they give this wine extra runway for moderate bottle aging.Monica Larne

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne 'Les Bons Bâtons' 2023

Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne ‘Les Bons Bâtons’ 2023

The super-fresh essence of various red berries laced with a touch of just turned earth precedes sleek and utterly delicious medium weight flavors that flash surprisingly good power on the youthfully austere and crunchy finale. This is an excellent example of the genre and worth your interest.Allen Meadows, Burghound 87-89 PointsAs always, the fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines in the renowned Les Bon Bâtons vineyard (on the edge of Chambolle).

Pinot Noir from Mercurey, Côte Chalonnaise

Domaine Faiveley Mercurey 1er Cru Clos de Myglands Monopole 2024

Give it a couple of days open or a few years in bottle and you'll go to a happy place. An earthy nose of red and blue pinot fruit displays a top note of kirsch. There is both an attractive texture and verve to the acceptably dense flavors that deliver solid depth and persistence. This could be enjoyed young and given the attractive price point, this is one to look at for value.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 PointsJM 89

Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Rouge 2022
The whole nine yards!

Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Rouge 2022

This year's blend includes Bourgogne-level fruit from Leroux’s key sources: the excellent Maison Dieu in Pommard, Mon Poulain in Volnay and Les Belles Côtes in Meursault. In 2022, these sites are complemented by village wines from Monthélie. Leroux opted to use whole-bunch fermentation only on the homegrown components. Maturation took place in 2,200-litre Grenier oak casks. As always, this punches way above its weight division. So crunchy and pure, yet with depth, it’s loaded with gr

Domenico Clerico Barolo 2013
Masculine Precise

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Domenico Clerico Barolo 2013

From one of the Barolo Boys, it's only fitting that 2013 has ended up as the release in the year of Domenico's Passing A Barolo with a great purity of darker fruit, hints of tar, and, a perfumed lift of violets. Just a lick of oak adding to the wine's complexity. Lovely generosity and length of fruit. Long even tannins.

Cogno Barolo 'Cascina Nuova' 2017

Cogno Barolo ‘Cascina Nuova’ 2017

A very pretty entry-level offering from Elvio Cogno. Bright red berry and lifted floral notes pair nicely with the wine's gracious, mid-weight feel. Silky tannins match the wine's finely sculpted, saline-infused personality. "The 2017 Barolo Cascina Nuova is an attractive wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Bright red-toned fruit, crushed rose petal and mint open in the glass. The tannins are a bit grainy, but I would not push my luck too far on aging."Antonio Galloni, Vinous

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

From Ravera in Monforte. As the vines age they will make Barolo! From Ravera in Monforte, this is made from the youngest vines (that will eventually be made as Barolo) and is made the same way as her three Barolos and then aged in barriques for twelve months. As a baby Barolo, this has some serious pedigree with rich, plush fruit of red berries with crushed flowers. Hard to beat for the money and an ‘affordable’ cellaring option.

The 2019 Albe is looking good with loads of energy. There's a nice build in density and quality tannins that are layered and ripe with excellent weight. Darker fruits. It’s good to see this looking so vibrant, flowing and fun. Delicious. Baking spice, woody herb & lick of licorice very good. Full of energy. Great drinking.This is certainly one of the most popular and versatile wines made in Italy, and deservedly so. The well-priced G.D. Vajra 2019 Barolo Albe shows some ripe fruit

Ripe aromas include those of red and dark raspberry that are trimmed in discreet earth nuances. The racy, intense and well-detailed middle weight flavors conclude in an unusually robust, powerful and firm finale. This concentrated and excellent effort is definitely not a 'pop and pour' Bourgogne. ♥ Outstanding Top valueAllen Meadows, Burghound 87-89 PointsAs always, the fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines in the renowned Les Bon Bâtons vineyard (on the
