Yeah buddy. Dialed up the funk huge on the nose. Barnyard and Brett. Palate is pummeling with sandpaper tannin and tight, focused smoke. Body is big and hot but somehow refined.

Heaven in a glass. All the funk and more funk. Absolutely killer. So food friendly.

Alto Piedmont, but toeing the line with Cru bojo rather than Nebbiolo. Cool year and is quite evident; herbaceous, dried roses, orange rind, damp leather, autumn leaves and dried red fruit. Sinewy tannins and vibrant acidity, still feels like there's years ahead.

Beautiful rich texture with sappy cherry, leathery notes and dried rose. Stunning fruit even after 17 years. Great primary fruit which is bulstered by perfumed aromas. Tannins are completely resolved and the acid is still providing beautiful lift. 1998 vintage

Another good value from the Alto Piemonte. Great with a burger and chicken at union square cafe. Aromatic, mouth filling, balanced, loads of freshness.

Was delighted about how good this was just right after pouring it into a decanter without much agitation. Even better when it was enjoyed with a fennel sausage pizza.

Perhaps the best value for Nebbiolo year after year, in my opinion

Super deep. Evolved throughout the meal. Geeked out about how well it paired with smoked ricotta in the kale salad. 🤓👌😜

Smells like dark berries, turned earth, leather, clove and rose oil, sappy black cherry and truffle flavors. Firm but approachable now, from experience these can go multiple decades without breaking a sweat. Alto Piemonte delivers great value per usual.
