"Domaine Calot’s high-altitude vineyards in the village of Villié-Morgon are rooted in pure granite and boast some incredibly old plantings (vieilles vignes), some exceeding 100 years of age. Vincent Calot took over the Domaine when his uncle, Jean, the estate’s long-time head, passed away in 2015. All the wines are hand-harvested and fermented on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. Aging takes place in a combination of used, larger oak foudre and used barriques sourced from Burgundy. They are bottled unfined and unfiltered, producing some of the most consistent, transparent, and well-structured expressions of old-vine Gamay you'll find. The wines offer amazing value despite the ever-rising fortunes of Morgon."

Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
$129.99
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.
Reverdito Barolo Castagni 2016
$99.99
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 6,000 bottles
Soil: Marl & Limestone
Castagni vineyard lies at an altitude of 370 to 450 metres above sea level. Given the near perfect vintage, the 2016 Castagni offers beautiful drinking now but will most certainly reward cellaring. Incredible value for money here in such a pricey and sought after vintage. Lots of typical dark morello cherry and forest fruit, sweet spice and leather with a more savoury, smoky finish and firm but rounded tannins. This is a remarkably harmonious young Barolo.
