I tasted the 2016 Villero during my visit to Piedmont last fall and was blown away. Tasting through the 2016 Barolos and Barbarescos really drove home what an important vintage it is. Even in the context of a great vintage, Oddero's Villero left a deep impression.
Earlier this week, we offered Ferrando's 2016 Etichetta Bianca. Today, we return with the much more limited Etichetta Nera.
Compared to Etichetta Bianca, Etichetta Nera is richer, denser, more masculine, and intense. It’s a powerhouse wine, but with breathtaking finesse.
Carema is alpine Nebbiolo of breathtaking grace.
For decades, Ferrando's Carema has been the benchmark for the beauty and profundity that Nebbiolo achieves in the northern extremes.
The wine world has become obsessed with Rinaldi's soulful, finessed, and old school style.
It's become nearly impossible to find the wines in quantity. Today, I'm happy to offer the 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo, one of the hardest wines in the lineup to find.
Nervi-Conterno simply hit the bullseye with their 2016 Gattinara.
There's no doubt that 2016 is an important vintage in Piedmont. The wines are gorgeous.
Roagna's 2014 Barbaresco Paje VV may very well represent the pinnacle of their stunning 2014 collection. It's impossible not to dwell on Galloni's quote above. It gets to the core of things. The Pajè VV is haunting. I'm very happy to have a second opportunity to offer this wine.
Brovia is one Piedmont's elites, and the 2015 Brea - Ca' Mia drives this home. The Brea Vigna Ca’ Mia is one of Brovia's most loved bottlings.
"Gravitas that is impossible to miss" -Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media A tasting of over twenty wines held in early March proved Galloni's note above powerfully correct. Paitin's 2016 Barbaresco Sori Paitin was a standout. At as low as $49.95, the 2016 Sori Paitin offers some of the greatest value that we've seen from Barbaresco in a long time.
Vigna Rionda is one of Barolo's great sites. Rionda is a well exposed, limestone-rich vineyard that has the potential to deliver epic Barolos.
Buying Oddero's 2015 Villero didn't require more than a moment's thought. It's among our favorite wines from the vintage, and when you factor in price and quality, there's no competition.
Poderi Colla came as a revelation to us. We first tasted them in the 2013 vintage, and the wines were brilliant.
For us, 2008 marks the vintage where Roagna broke through to an entirely new level. We've worked with Roagna since we opened fifteen years ago.
Marco Petterino’s wines are otherworldly. Located high in the Alto-Piedmont, where Nebbiolo sheds some of its muscle in exchange for elegance and floral aromatics, Petterino crafts traditionally-made wines with breathtaking finesse and indescribable integrity.
The Barolos of Roberto Conterno are simply profound. The explanation for their greatness is easy. Roberto’s exacting standards focus on perfecting every little detail. The sum is an almost logic-defying profundity.
High up in the Alto Piedmont, no one does purity and refinement as well as Colombera & Garella. Ever since their first vintage in 2010, Colombera & Garella has been a benchmark for the region. The 2016s are among the best vintages that we've seen from them. We're huge fans of the vintage in general, and the way that it dovetailed with Lessona and Colombera & Garella's style is amazing.
Roagna's 2014 Barbaresco Paje VV may very well represent the pinnacle of their stunning 2014 collection. It's impossible not to dwell on Galloni's quote above. It gets to the core of things. The Pajè VV is haunting. Last week, we offered the basic Pajè bottling, and today I'm happy to offer its old-vine sibling.
For years now, Roagna has been the benchmark producer in Barbaresco and one of the most exciting estates in all of Piedmont. Their 2014 Barbarescos are simply stunning.
Conterno's Monfortino is otherworldly. It's one of the most profound wine experiences around, and it's a distance runner. The wine simply stops you dead in your tracks.
Rocche is a key site for Brovia. Not only does Brovia have a very choice parcel within this vineyard, but it’s also their oldest holding and home to their oldest vines.
The longevity of Ferrando’s Carema Etichetta Nera is legendary. Neal Rosenthal, Ferrando’s importer, speaks of a 1964 Etichetta Nera that hit its apogee in 1998—at 34 years of age. This is a bottle that rewards patience.
Few wines have attracted the fan club that Ferrando's Carema has. The reason is simple: Carema is alpine Nebbiolo of breathtaking grace.
The Petterino estate seems lost in time. With Conterno's purchase last year, it's official that the northern Piedmont has blown up. (Though for many it happened long ago.) Still, you can find producers who spent years in relative obscurity and that results in plenty of value to be had.
Just over six months ago, I announced the 2013 Nervi Gattinara Molsino as my wine of the year. Looking back, the decision looks even better than it did originally. We've drunk a few bottles and they've been stunning.
For their sheer purity and soulfulness, Giovanni Canonica's wines have a cult following. The amount of textural complexity and clarity that Canonica coaxes out of Nebbiolo is mind-blowing.
