Dolcetto d'Alba 2023

Fresh, tingly nose. Lots of bright fruit and a subtle almond note on the palate and a nice bitterish note on the finish — 4 months ago

Vigna Scarrone Barbera d'Alba 2021

Vintage 2021 | dark colour, blackberry, plum, hint of violets. A rounded taste with spice. Beautiful balance. I like this wine that is a bit arrogant and playing hard to get. — 7 months ago

Vignavillej Dolcetto d'Alba 2022

No formal notes. Some dolcettos are fun loving, gum chewing kids; this is decidedly not, more like a middle aged professional going out for a joy ride. Which is to say: more emphasis on the black fruited, darker dimensions of this varietal. . Still more about the fruit & grip, absolutely feather like tannins if any, & joyful. — a year ago

A brawny and pleasant Dolcetto — black fruit forward with hints of anise and an unusually tannic bite. — 10 months ago

Valmaggione Nebbiolo d'Alba 2016

Very clear and transparent. Lovely wild strawberry and liquorice palate, plenty of power such that it could almost pass as a barolo, but not drying. 14%. Really very good. — 6 years ago

Parigi Nebbiolo d'Alba 2022

Reddish in color with a purplish hue.

Elegant nose and full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing raspberries, cherries, black plums, black currants, coffee, light oak and spices.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is an elegant and very pleasant Nebbiolo from Piedmont.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in used American and French oak barrels for 12 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$30.
