Beautiful nose of dried flowers and underbrush. Totally fresh on the palate. Wonderful, balanced aged nebbiolo.

So beautiful, clean and pure expression of Nebbiolo with ripe, clean pommagranate, orange zest, and cranberry. The tannins are so soft and subtle, you hardly even notice they're there. A true delight!

A stellar vintage of Brovia's entry level barbera. Inky, rich, dusty cherry with gorgeous acid through the finish. Killer wine for the money.

Unoaked Nebbiolo: freshness & acidity cut through Porchetta like a Santoku through a block of butta.

One of the most stupidly good wines for the money I've ever had to sell. Alone in the paint wine.

Yes!
Finishing off a great night of wine with this exceptional Nebbiolo from Brovia. 0.5 ha single-vineyard site. All stainless, which in some vintages can make it angular, but this wine is so open and singing right now with chewwwwy tannin (in a good way).
