Borgogno Barolo ‘Cannubi’ DOCG 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

"The 2016 Barolo Cannubi is the first Borgogno Barolo made from organically farmed vineyards, which represents a pretty significant shift here. Bright and beautifully lifted in the glass, the Cannubi is so expressive today. Succulent red berry fruit, spice, blood orange, rose petal and star anise build as this sensual, open-knit Barolo shows off its allure, which is considerable."Galloni, Vinous

Elio Grasso Barolo Chiniera 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The 2021 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a deep, powerful wine. In most vintages, the Gavarini Chiniera is a bit more linear, but the 2021 has an extra kick of textural depth that is such a hallmark of the year. Iron, chalk, dried flowers, mint and red cherry fruit build with a bit of coaxing. You will find a potent, explosive Barolo that hits all the right notes.Antonio Galloni 97 Points
Original price was: $274.Current price is: $247.

Elio Grasso Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The 2021 Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè is fabulous. Bright and transparent, with captivating depth, the 2021 is a stunning beauty. Enveloping balsamic notes make a strong opening statement that remains a theme here. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and blood orange all come alive in the glass.

Bright and vibrant ruby colour. On the nose there is a seductive and aromatic bouquet shared between aromas of red fruits such as black cherry, raspberry and a finish of floral and spicy notes.The palate distinguishes itself with freshness nourished by a fully integrated acidity which reveals fruity and once again spicy flavours of this wine. The palate is silky and balanced thanks to ripe and fine tannins. They soften the palate and lengthen its sensation of rich and elegant texture. They n

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Villero' 2013
The Super Stars!

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Villero’ 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

I haven't tried the 2013. If the 2015 is anything to go by this will be stunning! The most ‘Burgundian’ of these 8 cru, shimmering and transparent, signalling the elegance and finesse to unfold. A beautiful and intriguing wine with those Castiglione complexities of cranberry, strawberry, cherry-skin, dried flowers and herbs. Tannins are beautifully bound with the acid line, the finish becomes seamless and tingling. Worthy of the Villero name. Vietti's is now $900 a bottle! Dense garnet colo

Jesus wept on the Bones of Saint Gratto! The very blood of Christ!Stunning. If I ever made a wine of this caliber I’d retire on the high.Galloni’s note is bang on! The acid-tannin complex steps up again from the ‘standard’ Riserva. The tannins are layered, of depth, fine and long. You can ever so easily lose yourself in the glass! Mind-boggling complexity!"The 2015 Gattinara Riserva Osso San Grato marries finesse with power in grand style. Rose petal, sage, mint, sweet pi

Barale Barolo ‘Cannubi’ 2015

Nebbiolo | Italy, Barolo

Cannubi to the core! Savoury, dark, brooding, rich aroma with a hint of chocolate. You expect power from the nose. It comes through on the palate. Bold even tannins sit under a solid core of fruit that despite it’s generosity and richness has an elegance to itt. Something savoury layered in. Quite complete. I expect as the tannins resolve a little here and secondary development build this will be quite something. It has a certain harmony about it that rings true of great wines.

Deep and concentrated, the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière evokes aromas of rose petals, red berries, Indian spices, raw cocoa and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and vibrant, with powdery tannins and lively acids, it's the most elegant young Platière that I've tasted from the domaine.William Kelley, 91-93 Points

Owned by the Rosso family since 1920, the plot was partly replanted in 1984 and 2000. Situated about 2 miles (3km) to the north of Serralunga village, Cerretta lies close to the hamlet of Baudana and envelops that of Cerretta.The fruit for this Cru wine comes from the best parcel which is shaped like an amphitheatre facing south-east. This part of the vineyard provides a particularly good micro-climate for Nebbiolo since it is protected from stronger winds by the copse at the bottom of the s

Dark and brooding give it time and watch it blossom! Take the Barolo add 3 more layers for aroma, flavour and tannin. Ramp up the sophistication of the mouthfeel and you're kinda close to where the Villero sits. Dark and brooding give it time and watch it blossom! Awesome side by side with Sordo's Villero, very different in style. Both fantastic wines, you can see the common thread through the two.The 2016 has incredible energy, line and length, the tannins are superb. This is a Neb-Heads d
