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.

Braida Bricco dell’ Uccellone 2021
$116.00Add to cartA gorgeous Barbera that showcases the sensual and powerful side of the grape. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak before another year in bottle.
We love it, but don’t just take our word for it. Here is the review by the excellent Antonio Galloni from Vinous:
The 2019 Barbera d’Asti Bricco dell’Uccellone is one of the best versions of this wine I can remember tasting. Rich and full-bodied to the core, with stunning depth, the 2019 offers up a beguiling range of black fruit, mocha, chocolate, grilled herbs, lavender and incense. There’s still plenty of concentration and oak to support it, but without the excesses of some recent years. it has been a while since I have been able to say a Braida wine is exciting, but the 2019 certainly is!

Calea Nero d’Avola 2023
$14.00Add to cartA joint venture from Polaner Selections and Botter winery that is designed to be fun, food friendly, and value friendly.

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.

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).

Cosimo Taurino Notarpanaro Rosso 2013
$25.00Add to cartThis wine is an easy recommendation and hopped right out the gates as a staff favorite (especially for Will) showing that no matter the price point you can find wines with depth and soul.
Hailing from Lecce in Puglia (the heel of the Italian boot) where most wine is made in bulk to be drunk out of a jug comes a wine that’s rustic and earthy while still being classic and elegant. This is Grand Cru Puglia, a diamond in the rough?
Cosimo Taurino takes his wines seriously, holding them back for years to tame the tannins and allow them to harmonize in the bottle. This current release is a 2012!

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.

Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino 2020
$132.00Add to cartThis is another Tuscan wine that will be a favorite for Burg-hounds.
Gianni Brunelli, a shockingly under-the-radar producer tucked into the hillsides of Montalcino, one of the finest and most transparent Brunello’s we know that is just starting to pop up onto Italian wine lover’s lists after a 100-point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate for the 2016 vintage. Reviewer Monica Larner said, “If you seek the truth in Sangiovese, I think you find it here.” What more could you want?

Grifalco Aglianico del Vulture Gricos 2022
$29.00Add to cartAfter a stint in Tuscany the couple behind Grifalco decided to decamp for a new project somewhere else in Italy. In Basilicata they found terroir and untapped potential that they were excited to explore, particularly in the shadow of the Vulture volcano where stellar Aglianico grows. This wine is their entry level bottling and it is a delightful look at what the grape can be.
