The screw cap really takes the fun out of opening the bottle. Fortunately quality has not changed. Nice balance between sweetness and acidity. — 22 days ago

Roero Arneis 2023

2023 vintage. Couple of bucks less and slightly better than the Arneis I picked up 3 months ago. Ridiculously cheap $18 resto cost and delicious. Would buy it but not exactly blowing through Arneis unfortunately and not ready just yet to go with it btg. Gawd, I could crush this for a spell. Quintessential Summer juice. 7.17.24. — 9 days ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2016

Pleasant at first pour but underpowered. Needed 45 minutes and decant to start. Improved over time. Darker red than I was expecting. Young wine and quite smooth. Some racy notes at the perimeter but more of an easy drinking succulent Nebbiolo than a brooding one. — 4 days ago

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

Slight bricking. Nose is somewhat muted. So much rose and dark cherry. Really brooding. A classic Barolo. BYOB blind Italy theme — 5 days ago

Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Reddish in color with light intensity.

Nice and elegant nose of red fruits with chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, spices and coffee.

Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young, 4 year old Barolo, is already drinking nicely, even by itself.
Well balanced and elegant.

This 2020 vintage was great for Barolo, and is very approachable right now. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years and beyond.

I've had the 2015 vintage a few years ago, and this vintage is drinking better. Complex with a soft mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle and better with some airtime. A good sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too.

A blend from three different Nebbiolo Vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba. Aged in large oak barrels for 2 years.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$60.

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

2020 vintage. Light-medium body. Obviously too youthful but dry and dusty today with the promise of better balance and focus down the road. 7.17.24. — 9 days ago

Castello di Verduno

Basadone Verduno Pelaverga 2022

This is excellent red that punches well above its weight. One note, but very enjoyable. Full bodied, sour cherries, with a satisfying tangy finish. Wonderful chilled. — 7 days ago
