2020 Sottimano - Barbaresco Cotta
The 2020 Barbaresco Cottá is dense, powerful and closed in on itself. Black cherry, plum, spice, menthol, mocha and earthiness add to an impression of gravitas. Huge tannins give this potent, brooding wine a great deal of structure. This impressive, yo...
2016 Sottimano - Barbaresco Riserva (750ml)
Only produced in the best vintages and held back for a late release, this spectacular wine represents a special selection of fruit from the oldest vines on a 1.5-hectare slope. The Sottimano 2016 Barbaresco Riserva M. Sottimano transports us back to one o...

2021 Vajra, G. D. - Barolo Coste di Rose (750ml)

2021 Vajra, G. D. - Barolo Ravera (750ml)
