Violets & licorice! Lovely glass of wine from a great family winery. If you see any of these guys wines, grab them!

Highly aromatic on the nose with Violet's and cherry. Great for summer, this was better than the barbera at lunch.

Explosive fruit, great nose, incredible structure. From 3 crus in the town of Barolo. Quintessentially Piemonte.

Fresh and crisp red fruit. Modern style of #dolcetto #piedmontesewines sensations of pips and flesh. Spicy and refreshing.

8.9 but gets to 9 for the price. Black cherries, crushed violets, root beer, black licorice. My favorite note is this mix on the nose and palate of black sharpie and pen ink in the background. Big dose of black pepper.. would compare it to an old world Syrah but with balanced acid
