Boasso Barolo Gabutti 2018
$55.00Add to cartA rich Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most delicious crus where the fruit is picked, pressed and fermented before aging in new oak for three years. This is a wine that is never filtered and is left to age further in bottle before release where the flavors have time to harmonize. Boasso is a smaller producer and this wine offers a great value in Barolo that will develop more complexity with age.

Brovia Barolo 2020
$75.00Add to cartIn 1863 Giacinto Brovia founded the Brovia estate in the village of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo district.

Cappellano Barbera d’Alba 2021
$70.00Add to cartThe wines from Cappellano are highly revered and sought after by collectors, but this Barbera is how you can get in on the ground floor. The grapes for this wine are grown by a longtime friend of the Cappellano family and come in minuscule quantities. While some Barberas are just simple, this wine spends a little more time in the cellar to give it that extra oomph. A delicious, fun, and complex offering.

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.

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.

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.
