Dolcetto d'Alba 2023

One of my favorite vintners. Lots of good acids and bitey tannins. Some leather, raspberry and cherry, brambles, black pepper, touch of graphite? From Big Nose Full Body. 04/12/25 — 6 months ago

Marghe Nebbiolo d'Alba 2010

This wine was never I commend it to stretch nine years, but it was very satisfying and still offered that beautiful aged Barolo feel – in both texture and in floral/verbal nuance! For probably $16, I count this is a real bargain and fun experience for our Ginger teriyaki salmon pairing :) — 6 years ago

Piani Barbera d'Alba 2022

This is very elegant & harmonious.
Dark sour cherry with some crushed stone and a pinch of orange peel & herbs. Fresh. Juicy.
On the palate this is very smooth, juicy, with great flow and beautiful balance. The 14.5% alc perfectly integrated.
Nice depth & length, too.

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.
