2021 Rivetti, G.(La Spinetta) - Barbera d'Asti DOCG Ca' di Pian
2016 Roagna - Barolo La Pira
This drop-dead gorgeous red dazzles with an enticing fragrance of perfumed berry, fragrant blue flower, dark spice and camphor. Elegantly structured and focused, the taut, savory palate boasts remarkable finesse, vibrancy and a great depth of flavors incl...
2017 Roagna - Barolo La Pira
The 2017 Barolo Pira is a powerful, intensely savory wine. Dark cherry, herbs, leather incense and licorice all add to an impression. The Pira Barolo is one of the most reticent wines in this entire collection. It is hard to read today, despite its ob...
2017 Roagna - Barbaresco Paje
The 2017 Barbaresco Pajè offers up a compelling mélange of sweet redtoned fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, leather, cedar and tobacco. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2017 fleshes out nicely with a bit of time in the glass, showing its natural ...
2017 Roagna - Barbaresco Gallina
The 2017 Barbaresco Gallina is bright, translucent and bristling with energy. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, spice, anise, mint and chalk all run through this nervy, mid-weight Barbaresco. In 2017, the Gallina leans towards the more taut end of...
2020 Rocca, Albino - Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Rosso di Rocca
The 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo Rosso di Rocca is another pretty entry-level offering from Albino Rocca. This aromatic, light-bodied Nebbiolo is a tasty every-day drinker. Sweet red cherry, blood orange and spice linger
2015 Rocca, Albino - Barbaresco Montersino
The 2015 Barbaresco Montersino is silky, gracious and enveloping, all while retaining a very classic mid-weight sense of structure. Rose petal, mint, game, sweet red cherry, chalk and white pepper add an attractive aromatic register. All the elements are ...
2015 Rocca, Albino - Barbaresco Cotta
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...
2015 Rocca, Albino - Barbaresco Ronchi
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 ...
2017 Rocca, Albino - Barbaresco Ovello
The 2017 Barbaresco Ovello is fine and sculpted, as wines from this cru are, but in 2017 it has an extra bit of weight that really balances some of the natural austerity that comes so easily in Ovello. Crushed red berries, chalk, mint, white pepper and ro...
2017 Rocca, Albino - Barbaresco Cotta
One of the highlights in this range, the 2017 Barbaresco Cotta possesses tremendous depth along with the sheer breadth that is the key signature of this Neive cru. Black cherry, plum, leather, licorice, mint and lavender soar out of the glass, all with th...
