2023 Diego Conterno Baluma Nebbiolo Langhe

The Pure Foundation

Begin your journey with Nebbiolo in its most approachable form from one of Piedmont's most respected families. Diego Conterno's Langhe Nebbiolo showcases the grape's essential character without the power and tannin structure of Barolo or Barbaresco. This 2023 vintage offers bright red fruit, floral aromatics, and the ethereal elegance that makes Nebbiolo so captivating. It's the perfect introduction to understand the grape's personality before ascending to the great appellations. Drink now through 2030. Perfect with lighter fare like mushroom risotto or herb-roasted chicken.

2023 Renzo Castella, Langhe Nebbiolo "Madonnina"

The Artisan Expression

Continue with another exceptional Langhe Nebbiolo that demonstrates how skilled winemakers can craft compelling wines outside the famous appellations. Renzo Castella's "Madonnina" offers more structure and complexity than typical Langhe wines, bridging the gap between entry-level and appellation wines. Expect classic Nebbiolo aromatics of rose, cherry, and earth, with enough tannin to reward short-term cellaring. This wine proves that great Piedmont wine isn't limited to Barolo and Barbaresco. Pair with braised meats or aged cheeses.

2021 Covalli Barbaresco Piedmont

The Barbaresco Introduction

Ascend to the noble appellation of Barbaresco with this elegant expression from Covalli. Barbaresco, often called the "Queen of Wines" to Barolo's "King," offers more immediate approachability while maintaining profound complexity. The 2021 vintage showcases Barbaresco's signature combination of power and grace—expect intense aromatics of tar, roses, and red fruit, with refined tannins that make it more accessible than Barolo in its youth. This wine demonstrates why Barbaresco is beloved by those who appreciate elegance over raw power. Cellar 5-15 years. Ideal with truffle dishes or game birds.

2022 De Forville, Barbaresco

The Traditional Craft

Deepen your Barbaresco experience with De Forville's traditional approach to this noble wine. This producer represents the authentic spirit of Barbaresco winemaking, crafting wines that speak purely of terroir and tradition. The 2022 vintage offers the classic Barbaresco profile of ethereal aromatics, structured tannins, and the mineral backbone that comes from the region's calcareous soils. This is Barbaresco as it was meant to be—unadorned, authentic, and built for the long haul. Decant if drinking young or cellar for 10+ years. Perfect with braised beef or wild mushroom pasta.

2020 Virna 'Noi', Barolo

The Village Blend Virtuoso

Enter the realm of Barolo with Virna's exceptional village-level blend. "Noi" (meaning "us") represents fruit from multiple Barolo villages, creating a wine that showcases the appellation's diversity in a single bottle. The 2020 vintage offers the power and complexity that defines great Barolo—expect deep fruit, tar, roses, and the iron-fist-in-velvet-glove character that makes Barolo legendary. This wine demonstrates how skilled blending can create complexity that rivals single-vineyard expressions. Cellar 10-20 years for full development. Pair with aged beef or strong cheeses.

2020 Collina San Ponzio, "Fossati" Barolo

The Single Vineyard Finale

Conclude with the pinnacle—a single-vineyard Barolo from the prestigious Fossati cru. This wine represents the ultimate expression of Piedmont's terroir-driven philosophy, where specific vineyard sites produce wines of unmistakable character. The Fossati vineyard is known for producing Barolo of exceptional power and longevity, and this 2020 vintage showcases concentrated dark fruit, complex aromatics, and the structured tannins that will allow decades of evolution. This is Barolo at its most profound—a wine that demands patience but rewards with transcendent complexity. Cellar 15-30 years. Perfect with braised game or aged Gorgonzola.
