Nebbiolo
GAJA 2019 Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont, Italy
Reveals multidimensional aromas and flavors of rose, cherry, licorice and spices. This is fused to a vibrant structure that, for now, gives a taut, almost racy profile. Marrying power and grace, this ends in a long, floral- and spice-tinged aftertaste.

Giuseppe Rinaldi 2018 'Brunate', Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy
Medium in body and classic in feel, with that extra bit of textural resonance that is such a Brunate signature, the 2018 has real potential. Dark cherry, melted road tar, tobacco, spice, menthol, sage and licorice all build in the glass.
$499.99
Giacomo Conterno 2018 Cerretta, Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 1.5L
Lavender, rose petal, mint, licorice and blood orange are nicely woven together. This is an attractive wine and shows the nervy, edgy style of the year. Cerretta fruit from Serralunga d'Alba makes for powerful, structured and concentrated Nebbiolo.
$899.99
Ettore Germano 2018 'Prapò', Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy
Aromas of underbrush, camphor, pine forest and toasted nut form the nose. Linear and firm, the nervous palate features dried cherry, hazelnut and tobacco set against taut, fine-grained tannins. Tremendous value, and a classic representation.
$79.99
G.D. Vajra 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo, Piedmont, Italy

ROAGNA 2018 Albesani, Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont, Italy
Camphor, cedar, violet and ground clove aromas come to the forefront. Full-bodied, elegantly structured, cherry marinated in spirits, licorice and tobacco next to backbone of tightly wound, fine-grained tannins. Well-balanced and precise.
$199.99
La Ca' Növa 2021 'Montestefano' Barbaresco DOCG, Piedmont, Italy
Dark, rich and intense, but also light on its feet, dazzles from the very first taste. Dark red/blue fruit, lavender, licorice, gravel, dried herbs and menthol open with a bit of coaxing. A striking mid-palate depth, compelling inner perfume, mind-blowing
$54.99
Poderi Aldo Conterno 2015 Bussia Colonnello, Barolo DOCG, Italy
The luster of new oak shines bright here, as do the very bright and assertively ripe cherries and red plums, as well as orange zest. The tannins are a highlight with a very fluid and fleshy core of red-fruit flavor, building to a tight and long finish.
