The 2016 Barbaresco is a stunning wine with tremendous richness for this bottling. Ample, deep and powerful, the 2016 exudes pedigree and class from start to finish. I can't remember a straight Barbaresco here with this much fruit density and unctuous ric...
The 2015 Barbaresco Ronchi is gorgeous. The richness of the vintage marries very well with the personality of the site, which results in an ample, powerful wine of real character. Bright red cherry, mint, chalk and floral overtones abound. The tannins ...
Here in its first release, 2015 Barbaresco Cottà, shows the natural breadth of this vineyard in Neive. There has a real sense of weight and gravitas that distinguishes the Cottà in this range. I would give the 2015 at least a few years in bottle to fu...
Our awaited 2021 vintage is finally in stock and likely to sell quickly since cru single vineyard pricing keeps going up. Now is the chance to get some of the normale Barolo from Brovia a wine made from Crus Brea (Ca Mia) in Serralunga, and Villero an Rocche Castiglione in Castiglione Faletto. The wine is always made in an elegant style showing a balance, a finesse and underlying power giving potential to cellar. I have long been impressed with the consistency of quality from the winery even the young vines fruit delivers.

The 2018 Barolo Villero is laser sharp and etched with ferrous mineral notes next to wild berry, cherry, cola, campfire ash and grilled rosemary. This elegant, mid-weight wine shows a very long finish and should not disappoint on the cellar-aging front. I...
The Brovia 2018 Barolo Garblèt Sue' reveals a fine texture with seamless aromas of purple and red forest fruits that appear delicately and softly. Those lifted primary notes are followed by a filigree of spice, tar, truffle and fragrant earth. The wine cl...
