2021 Sottimano - Barbaresco Pajore
The 2021 Barbaresco Pajorè is a wild, exotic wine that marries the intensity of the year with tons of classic structure. There's plenty of richness and body, but the Pajorè is pretty shut down today, as it almost always is at this stage. Sage, lavender...
2021 Sottimano - Barbaresco DOCG Basarin
The 2021 Barbaresco Basarin is a dense, rich wine. Macerated cherry, plum, lavender, rose petals, spice and new leather are all dialed up. The natural intensity of the year comes through in this decidedly dark, intense Barbaresco. A return to super-cla...

2021 Taliano Michele - Barbera d'Alba Laboriosa Superiore (750ml)
NV Trillo - Moscato d'Asti DOCG Brut (750ml)
A fresh and vibrant twist on classic Moscato d’Asti! Trillo’s Brut bottling offers all the aromatic charm of Moscato — think white peach, orange blossom, and honeysuckle — but with a cleaner, drier finish that keeps things wonderfully crisp and refreshing. Lightly sparkling and low in alcohol, it’s the perfect choice for brunch, aperitifs, or an easy afternoon sip. Delightful on its own or paired with fruit tarts and soft cheeses.

Just mid ruby. Lifted and perfumed raspberry; really opens up in the glass. Touches of exotic spice. Still compact and really youthful. Juicy and with a wave of chewy tannins. Will need more time to fully open up but showing great promise.
