Vigna Martina Barbera d'Alba 2016
Popped and poured; consumed over a few hours. The 2016 Barbera "Vigna Martina" is deep, dark ruby with an almost impenetrable core. More than ample in the fruit department with all the dark berries. However, it's got enough of the non-fruits: the inorganic earth, purple flowers, some herbs and spices, to leave one in no doubt of its origin. This is certainly one of the more polished versions of Barbera. As for longevity, even at 6 years post vintage, this seemed fairly primary. That being said and based off my experiences with Barbera in this category, I expect the secondary characteristics of leather to begin emerging in the next couple of years. Tasty now and should continue to reward through 2030. — 2 months ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2021
Love Elio Altare wines, one of my favorite Piedmont producers. Entry level nebbiolo that drinks way above it’s price point. Think value priced Barbaresco. — a month ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2018
From the man himself, Elio Altare, at the cusp of integration with at least a couple of facades and decades to go… Classic Barolo with rose petals, cherry, sharp tannins, and brutally elegant. — 2 months ago

Dolcetto d'Alba 2021
Lots of fruit on the nose, followed by more fruit on the palate. Subtle dry tannins, but very smooth. It's definitely not as exciting as it's Nebbiolo neighbors, but those can also be quite a force to be reckoned with. This is a nice, easy wine to sip whilst chatting with friends. Lovely! — 2 months ago

It has a medicinal quality in the same way his dolcetto has also. Is that a Perno/Disa signature? Transportively good. — a day ago
