2023 Borgogno Giacomo - Barbera d'Alba DOC (750ml)

A truly dynamic bottle of bubbles. Incredibility fine for a bottle under $20.

With its intense ruby red color, this wine stands out with a particularly broad and nuanced bouquet. Aromas of blackberries, ripe blueberries, and small red fruits are complemented by fresh citrus notes, while subtle hints of dark spices and medicinal herbs add complexity. The wine finishes long, with a firm tannic structure that offers both depth and balance. Dynamic and flavorful, it features a lively acidity that integrates seamlessly with the tannins, resulting in a wine of great elegance and character. - TA

100% Melon de Bourgogne. Classic Muscadet on granite. The core of the "La Pépie" Sur Lie bottling is the 10-hectare heart of the Pépière estate, which is part of the Clisson cru in the tiny commune of Pépière near the winery; there is also a portion of purchased fruit from a nearby organic farmer friend in the mix. Pépière's farming is certified-biodynamic and the harvest by hand. The bunches are direct-pressed and the juice settled for 12 hours. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts; the wine is aged on its lees for 6-8 months in large, underground, glass-lined cement tanks. It is bottled without filtration.
