Marchesi di Gresy 2016 Barbaresco Martinenga
Wild cherry and redcurrant are lifted by dried rose, orange zest and fine herbs, with forest floor and liquorice adding savoury depth. The palate is graceful and firm, built on fresh acidity and finely drawn tannins rather than weight. The finish is long, floral and quietly earthy. Decant before serving with braised beef or truffle dishes.
Mauro Sebaste 2016 Ghè Barolo Riserva DOCG
Intense ruby in the glass, with rose and violet opening onto spice, leather and tobacco. The palate is dry, powerful and persistent, supported by firm, well-judged tannins. Floral detail and savoury depth remain closely knit through a long, structured finish that shows both authority and measured restraint.
Mauro Sebaste 2020 Casa Berzia Diano d’Alba DOCG
Blackberry and ripe plum lead a generous, fruit-forward nose, with a light floral lift adding freshness. The palate is smooth and rounded, its dark fruit held by soft tannins and balanced acidity. A characteristic bitter-almond note emerges on the clean finish, giving the wine a distinctly savoury close.
Marengo 2020 Vigna Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC
Oreste Stefano 2015 Perno Barolo Riserva DOCG

The palate is focused and measured rather than showy, balancing floral lift with fine savoury depth. Structured for the table or cellar, it finishes dry, composed and quietly persistent.
Azelia 2017 Barolo Margheria
Scorched earth opens the nose before toasted hazelnut, forest floor, dried herbs and a faint floral note emerge.

Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provide structure, while a saline edge lengthens the finish and rewards patient cellaring.
Cellario E! Grino Grignolino Piedmont 1 L
Pale ruby and lightly framed, with bright red fruit, gentle spice and a quiet earthy-mineral note. The palate is smooth, fresh and balanced, with enough character to carry cured meats, mushrooms, ragù or grilled fare without feeling heavy. Bottled unfiltered, it works equally well lightly cool as an aperitif or alongside a relaxed meal.
Diego Conterno 2023 Ferrione Barbera d’Alba
Lively red fruit and plum open with warm spice, giving way to a fresh, medium-bodied palate.

Polished and versatile, it suits grilled sausage, tomato-based pasta or slowly braised meat.
Cavallotto 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis
Earthy and smoky at first, opening into dark cherry, blood orange and dried fruit. Firm acidity and tightly knit tannins give the palate a powerful, classical frame, while concentrated fruit carries through the middle and into a focused, persistent finish. Still youthful and structured, this will reward decanting or further cellar time. Serve with braised beef, game, truffle dishes or aged cheese.
Giordano Lombardo 2020 Sasso Alto Barbera
Tangy blueberry, cherry and kirsch give this medium-bodied red a bright, generous core. The fruit stays vivid through the palate, supported by lively acidity and an easy, approachable texture. A fresh, clean finish keeps the style versatile at the table. Serve with tomato-based pasta, roast pork or grilled sausages.
Cordero di Montezemolo 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba
Cherry and raspberry lead an aromatic, garnet-hued red, with wild herbs, minerality and brown spice adding savoury complexity. The palate is balanced and elegant, combining lively acidity with supple tannins and a gentle floral note. Fresh and inviting through the finish, it suits salumi, pasta, braised beef or roast game.
Cordero di Montezemolo 2015 Enrico VI Barolo DOCG
French oak, baked plum, vanilla and roasted coffee bean lead, with a cool menthol note adding lift. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate brings espresso, liquorice and fleshy black cherry into focus. Taut, close-grained tannins frame the richness, carrying the savoury, oak-shaped profile to a firm, drying finish.
Cordero di Montezemolo 2019 Barolo Bricco Gattera
Dark cherry and plum lead a rich, concentrated nose, joined by spice, soft tobacco and a touch of candied licorice.

Gaja 2018 Sito Moresco Langhe DOP
Musso 2017 Pora Barbaresco DOCG

Albino Rocca 2018 Barbaresco Angelo
Iris, wild berries and sandalwood shape an aromatic, graceful nose. The palate is savoury and elegant, with sour cherry, orange zest, liquorice and coffee bean unfolding in measured layers.

Colombera & Garella 2016 Cascina Cottignano Bramaterra
Dark cherry in the glass, with plump cherry and raspberry lifted by a quiet floral perfume. The palate moves through red and black berries, savoury herbs and a distinctly stony, mineral line. Tempered acidity and broad, medium-grained tannins keep the ripe fruit composed. Decant briefly and serve with roast duck, wild mushrooms, braised beef or aged mountain cheese.
Giulia Negri 2019 Barolo Serradenari DOCG
Violet and rose aromas lead, with orange peel and forest strawberry adding lift. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet poised, combining fresh red fruit with firm, relaxed structure. Dusty, ripe tannins and bright acidity give the wine shape, carrying floral and citrus detail into a focused, persistent finish.
Paolo Scavino 2015 Bric del Fiasc Barolo DOCG
Woodland berries, wild herbs and rose lead, with eucalyptus and roasted coffee adding savoury depth.
