Cappellano Barolo Otin Fiorin Pie Rupestris 2019
$275.00Add to cartThis wine is everything you want Cappellano to be: it’s earthy and complex, mineral and layered, and almost monolithic. We love this wine, but if you are patient enough to age it, it will reward you even more with gorgeous tertiary notes of truffle and forest floor that jump out of the glass.

Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino 2019
$109.00Add to cartThis is a great entry into the 2019 vintage that can be enjoyed now, but will also be great laid down for a few years. It has the heft that some seek, but there’s plenty of nuance that comes from their deft balance between the wildness of the grapes and the slickness of the cellar hand.

Cascina Luisin Barolo Leon 2007
$225.00Add to cartA Barbaresco producer who for a long time couldn’t make Barolo due to the regulations—so this is a relatively forward drinking Barolo that doesn’t need decades and decades to open up. It’s in the perfect place right now.

Cascina Penna-Currado Barbera d’Alba Carra 2022
$59.00Add to cartCascina Penna-Currado is the new and exciting project from the Penna-Currado Vietti family, spearheaded by Elena Penna, Luca Currado Vietti and their kids, Michele and Giulia. After running one of the Piedmont’s most respected wineries (see the last names), the family decided to focus on an artisanal expression of what the Piedmont can provide.
This is a focused and interesting Barbera with a core of pretty dark fruits and good tension. Luca is an incredible winemaker and we look forward to seeing how all of his wines develop.

Castelfeder Kerner Lahn
$29.00Add to cartHeading into Alto Adige (the far northern, semi-autonomous region of Italy that borders Austria) is like stepping into German wine country. The grapes for this Kerner grow at an altitude of almost 900m above sea level in one of the highest vineyards in South Tyrol. This German grape is a cross between Trollinger and Riesling and is named after the Swabian poet Justinus Kerner. It’s got great acidity, a vibrant freshness, and rich lemon, peach, and mango flavors.

Castello dei Rampola d’Alceo Toscana IGT 2019
$199.00Add to cartThis wine is a synthesis of the Rampolla family’s ideas about wine. It’s weighty, but still remains graceful. Classically styled but with a piercing minerality that lifts the deep, dark fruit. Some critics go as far as to call it transcendent giving it huge scores (97 Points, Vinous; 96 Points James Suckling; 98 Points, Wine Advocate).

Chateau Feuillet Petite Arvine Valle d’Aosta
$40.00Add to cartThe Valle d’Aosta is at the tippy top corner of Italy along the French border and boast some of the highest mountain peaks in the Alpine range. The warm mountain days and cool nights preserve acidity and the sandy granite soils make the grapes struggle, developing character. The wine has a mineral streak but is like tasting the blossoms in the sunny fields with electric citrus fruit.

Dal Forno Romano Amarone Monte Lodoletta 2017 750ml
$504.00Add to cartThis is a wine that will reward patience. Like most Amarone’s the Dal Forno is brooding, brimming with dark cherries and violets that play off the spice, earth, and coffee notes that add complexity. This balance between the rich acidity, the savory umami, and the fresh fruit leave this looking like a linebacker dancing a ballet. It’s graceful.

Felsina Vin Santo 375ml 2013
$76.00Add to cartThis Chianti Classico wine is embodied by the “mother” (the remains of the previous vintages) being moved from the previous years casks to the next. The Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Sangiovese grapes are carefully dried out before aging. This is one of our favorite sweet wines (a category that needs so much more love) and we think everyone, but especially Italian wine lovers, should try this.

Ficomontanino Zacinta Revi 2022
$25.00Add to cartAs producers working biodynamically, the Sole’s have a lot of animals around. This wine is named after one of the family’s beloved horses. This wine is just shy of being a skin contact style, it still has color and texture but doesn’t go full-on orange.

Gaja Rossj Bass Langhe Bianco 2022
$135.00Add to cartA Chardonnay that shows the other side of Gaja and the Piedmont. It’s zesty and refreshing but well rounded and made from estate fruit. Named for Gaja’s younger daughter and the location of the vineyard. It’s golden and complex, floral with lemon curd and white acidic peach with just a touch of mineral salinity. We love the long finish.

Giacomo Conterno Barbera d’Alba Vigna Francia 2021 Magnum
$225.00Add to cartThis is a Barbera (which often plays second fiddle in the Piedmont) from one of the regions greatest producers. The Barbera has great fruit but lighter tannins than their Nebbiolos, but given its pedigree it still has a definite heft. We think this is a true value wine to taste one of the greats. And it’s in a magnum!
