2021 Taliano Michele - Barbera d'Alba Laboriosa Superiore (750ml)
2024 Vajra, G. D. - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Clare JC (750ml)
DESCRIPTION: Claré JC is a unique wine, our take on the forgotten days of
Nebbiolo, when it was enjoyed in its lighter and fresher garment. The winemaking

VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Fruit from our young Nebbiolo vineyards.
