2021 Sottimano - Barbaresco DOCG Cotta
The 2021 Barbaresco Cottá is one of the most forward wines in this range, as it so often is. Aromatically expressive and light on its feet, the 2021 delivers tons of flavor intensity, but without excess weight. A return to more traditional winemaking h...
2020 Sottimano - Barbaresco Basarin
The 2020 Barbaresco Basarin is a wine of pure and total sensuality. For a just bottled, young Barbaresco, the Basarin possesses magnificent balance. A burst of dark red fruit, spice, rose petal, mint and blood orange hits the palate, followed by a good...
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...
NV Trillo - Moscato d'Asti DOCG Brut (750ml)
A fresh and vibrant twist on classic Moscato d’Asti! Trillo’s Brut bottling offers all the aromatic charm of Moscato — think white peach, orange blossom, and honeysuckle — but with a cleaner, drier finish that keeps things wonderfully crisp and refreshing. Lightly sparkling and low in alcohol, it’s the perfect choice for brunch, aperitifs, or an easy afternoon sip. Delightful on its own or paired with fruit tarts and soft cheeses.
2023 Vajra, G. D. - Barbera d'Alba Superiore (750ml)
A pretty red, with a hint of camphor gracing its core flavors of cherry, raspberry, blackberry and violet. There’s a mineral streak, and light tannins leave their grip on the lingering aftertaste. Drink now through 2033. 2,400 cases made, 200 cases import...
2021 Vajra, G. D. - Barolo Coste di Rose (750ml)
Just mid ruby. Lifted and perfumed raspberry; really opens up in the glass. Touches of exotic spice. Still compact and really youthful. Juicy and with a wave of chewy tannins. Will need more time to fully open up but showing great promise.
2021 Vajra, G. D. - Barolo Ravera (750ml)
The 2021 Barolo Ravera is laced with bright red-toned fruit, iron, spice, cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. Bright acids and beams of tannin give the Ravera its distinctively driving feel. Today, the 2021 is a bit sinewy. I suspect it will always remain a v...
2021 Vajra, G. D. - Barolo Bricco Viole (750ml)
The 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a wine of stature and breeding. Vertical in shape, the Bricco delle Viole has so much to offer. Dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, gravel and licorice add an attractive savory edge. The 2021 is an especially somber, ...
