2020 Sottimano - Barbaresco Cotta Briche
The 2020 Barbaresco Cottá is dense, powerful and closed in on itself. Black cherry, plum, spice, menthol, mocha and earthiness add to an impression of gravitas. Huge tannins give this potent, brooding wine a great deal of structure. This impressive, yo...
2021 Sottimano - Barbaresco Fausoni
The 2021 Barbaresco Fausoni is a wine for readers who appreciate the more linear, old-school style of Nebbiolo. Chalk, white pepper, mint, tobacco, cedar, blood orange and sweet red cherry fruit all race across the palate. The 2021 won't be ready any t...
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...

The 2021 Barbaresco Cottá is one of the most forward wines in this range, as it so often is. Aromatically expressive and light on its feet, the 2021 delivers tons of flavor intensity, but without excess weight. A return to more traditional winemaking h...
2019 Travaglini- Gattinara Tre Vigne(750ml)
The 2019 Gattinara Tre Vigne is another attractive wine in this range. It is done in a more forward style than the other wines in the lineup, presenting a touch more new oak sweetness. Macerated cherry, kirsch, new leather, herbs and a kiss of oak all ...
2020 Travaglini- Gattinara DOCG(750ml)
The 2020 Gattinara is a very pretty wine in the classically austere style that is such a signature here. Crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, mint and rose petal lend lovely complexity throughout. This is beautifully done, not to mention a real charme...
2020 Vajra, G. D. - Barolo Albe (750ml)
