Vietti Barolo 'Brunate' 2018

Nebbiolo from La Morra, Barolo

Vietti Barolo ‘Brunate’ 2018

The 2018 Barolo Brunate is a deep, layered wine that is going to need at least a few years to come together. Today, the Brunate is quite primary and backward, but all the ingredients are there. Sage, menthol, licorice, dried flowers and spice build with a bit of coaxing. Drink 2028 - 2048 Galloni

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Châtelots' 2022

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

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Châtelots’ 2022

This is also aromatically really fresh with its blend of dark raspberry, violet and a crushed fennel aromas. The mouthfeel of the slightly richer flavors is also caressing but here there is a subtle minerality on the lacy, balanced and youthfully austere finale that delivers slightly better persistence.

Margherita Otto 'M8' Barolo MAGNUM 2017

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo MAGNUM 2017

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello. The 2017 M8 is a blend of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte & Serralunga fruit! I rarely buy wine site unseen. I did so with the 2016 M8. I couldn’t resist! The story and experience behind Allan Manley’s launch of his own venture has seen him work with a veritable who’s who of Barolo ending with Maria Theresa Mascarello where he still works. As you might expect he’s a proponent of blended Barolo vs

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva 10 anni' 2015

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino ‘Riserva 10 anni’ 2015

The 2015 Riserva Diecianni is a special Brunello, savoury, earthy, with a sweet core of fruit, a little spice and much more beyond. The quality of the tannins, their depth and complexity alone impress. The super-fine-resolved acids offer exceptional energy. At 11 years old this is a Brunello in a beautiful place with much more to come. Flowing with long, even tannins.It represents a significant step up from the already impressive Brunello. Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded June 2026A wond

Terre Nere 'Prephylloxera' Etna Rosso D.O.C. The vineyard of Don Peppino 2022

Red Blend from Etna, Sicily

Terre Nere ‘Prephylloxera’ Etna Rosso D.O.C. The vineyard of Don Peppino 2022

To taste wine from 140 year old vines that has not been influenced by growing on a rootstock is becoming a rare thing at a global level. Darkly alluring and youthfully backward, the 2022 Etna Rosso Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Calderara Sottana smolders up with a blend of sweet spices, dusty violets and ash, giving way to dried black cherries, sage and cloves. This is velvety yet finessed, with a polished wave of ripe red and blue fruit that flows across a juicy stream of acidity. Hint

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' 2016

Nebbiolo from Gattinara, Alto Piemonte

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara ‘Molsino’ 2016

Richness and generosity, yet freshness’s. Dark, long, fine, generous, composed and long. Still waiting to express its true self. Perhaps with a bottle over a night rather than a taste it would. It clearly has a long life ahead of it. Such incredible length. Starting to opening up in the glass with a little coaxing it is built so impressively. A special wine. The acid and tannin profile will see it hold for many years. Another expression of Nebbiolo that differs from those of Valtellina and Bar

Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Nicole Lamarche ‘Echezeaux’ Grand Cru 2019

Sometimes when your vineyard is surround that's OK especially when it's surrounded by DRC! I've had the pleasure of drinking La Grande Rue a couple of times. It's the benchmark wine of the estate that sits across a tiny laneway from LaTâche. La Grande Rue is sensual, feminine, with an incredible perfume, and silky texture.

Exuberantly fresh aromas of essence of various red berries with a broader array of spice notes leads to detailed, even chiseled, lighter weight flavors that exude both energy and minerality on the understated, firm and moderately austere finale.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 PointsThe Chatelots vineyard (2.96 hectares) is also close to the town and partly adjoins Les Charmes.

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

 The 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is a dense, hulking wine. Powerful and dense to the core, the Montestefano is a big, broad-shouldered wine that is going to need a few years to be at its most expressive. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, spice, menthol are all amplified in this potent Barbaresco.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 97One of the bottles in this lineup that falls on the darker and bolder side of the spectrum, the Produttori del Barbaresco 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Mont

The Produttori del Barbaresco 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello shows greater richness and structure on the mid-palate, with ripe and supple flavors of red and purple fruit that give the wine an especially generous personality. This is a concentrated expression of Nebbiolo, yet it remains direct, sharp and beautifully focused, fully living up to the reputation of this highly collectible vintage. The added depth of fruit is balanced by freshness, creating a wine that is both powerful and elegantly c

Cappellano Barolo 'Rupestris' 2020

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Cappellano Barolo ‘Rupestris’ 2020

The 2020 Barolo Rupestris is elegant, sculpted wine. It shows the mid-weight structure of the year nicely. Sweet red cherry fruit, mint, chalk, white pepper, orange peel and dried flowers open with some coaxing. I would leave this alone in the cellar for a few years, as time in bottle is essential here. I won't be surprise if this fills out a bit over the coming years, as is often the case here. Drink 2026-2045Antonio Galloni - NR as per request from Cappellano
