2020 Coppo - Barbera d'Asti DOCG Nizza Pomorosso
A plush, modern style, this Barbera offers sweet, ripe plum, fig and toasty oak flavors. Remains fresh, with balance and expressive flavors -- in a hedonistic way. Long, heady finish. Drink now through 2028. 2,500 cases made, 200 cases imported.
2023 Coppo - Gavi DOCG La Rocca
Coppo has managed Tenuta La Rocca in Monterotondo (Gavi) since the mid-1980s. Gavi is a classic white Piedmontese wine, made entirely from Cortese grape. It is one of the region’s oldest native varieties. Its name derives from the wine’s original consumer the noble court, corte in Italian. La Rocca comes from marl calcareous soil that lend it an unexpected mineral complexity.

2016 Corino, Renato - Barolo La Morra
I love these wines that source fruit from a single comune, or village, in the Barolo appellation. The entry-level Renato Corino 2016 Barolo del Comune di La Morra showcases silky tannins, loose textural fiber and pretty berry accents. Once you break it al...

2016 Damilano - Barolo Cannubi
The Damilano 2016 Barolo Cannubi shows depth and a profound nature. This is the DNA of the Cannubi cru, maybe the most celebrated in the appellation with mildly compact, well-draining sandy soils (actually, a mix of 45% sand, 35% silt and 20% clay, to be ...
2016 Einaudi - Barolo Costa Grimaldi
A ripe, layered Barolo with lots of dried strawberry, blueberry and floral aromas and flavors. It is rather more flamboyant red for this producer. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.
2016 Einaudi - Barolo Bussia
The 2016 Barolo Bussia is laced with a whole range of sweet floral and balsamic overtones, along with striking underpinnings of structure and tannin that give the wine its shape. A wine of energy, tension and nuance, the Bussia is just superb in 2016. Tim...
2015 L. Einaudi - Barolo Cannubi
A beautiful sense of resolve on the first impression with perfectly ripe red cherries taking center stage on the nose.
2017 Einaudi - Barolo Cannubi
The 2017 Barolo Cannubi is sensual and inviting from the very first taste. What the 2017 might lack in terms of structure or complexity it more than makes up for with its open, embracing personality. All the elements come together so effortlessly. Sweet r...
2017 Einaudi - Barolo Bussia
The 2017 Barolo Bussia is complex and ethereal in the glass. A whole range of floral and spiced notes give the Bussia its striking aromatic presence. Silky and harmonious, the Bussia is already very easy to enjoy. Even so, my impression is that the 2017 i...
