Oh but The AM totally rock 🤘 although I don’t like their latest stuff too much. I visited Vajra a couple of years ago. They also rock 🤣

Never tasted this bottling before, I just hoped for a decent showing. Instead, it completely reshaped my view of Barbera.

Deep opaque garnet with a slight tawny rim. The nose is captivating with blackberry jam, fig, cedar, dry pine cone, worn leather, clove, and a hint of truffle. Seamless palate - full body with vibrant
acidity, supple tannins that still have firm grip, and a velvety texture. Long, elegant finish. Still has 5–8 graceful years ahead. By far the best Barbera I’ve tasted.

In Rhino I trust.

A bit much. Not elegant but super intense and almost seemed young. Only 13% but felt like more. — 2 months ago

Talk about a wine you could drink everyday for the rest of your life. Balance. Lightweight contender. Medium tannins, in perfect form — a month ago

The winery started out as producing wines for its restaurant in Barolo exclusively.

This is 100% estate grown fruits. Dark and succulent with hint of purple floral. Delicious.

I always like this wine. Even the years that aren't as good, are pretty good.
