The jury was out on the 2018 vintage of Barolo for a long time. The harvest was the product of about every natural malady known to man and it took extraordinary attention and meticulous farming and cellar work to get it right. The good news, though, is...

Apples, they say, don’t fall far from their trees, and five minutes with Carlo Mondavi will confirm that the same applies to grapes. Carlo is very much like his dad Tim, and there’s an awful lot of his famous grandfather in there too!...
"There is a red wine of Nebiule (Nebbiolo) made in this neighborhood which is very singular. It is about as sweet as the silky Madeira, as astringent on the palate as Bordeaux, and as brisk as Champagne. It is a pleasing wine." - Thomas Jefferson ~ 1787...
The base wine is a 10-year old Barolo Riserva, which gives the Chinato an unsually soft-textured, generous personality. All of the typical notes of sweet herbs, cinnamon, cardamom, flowers, anise and baking spices are layered into a sweet, expansive...
Winery Notes: Guyot method with medium-short pruning. Fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. 15-17 days maceration; malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats. 12 months in French barrels (50% new oak and 50% oak aged 2...
The 2015 Barolo is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years, while the red berry and floral notes remain fresh. Alberto Burzi crafts this wine from a collection of parcels in La Morra.
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:"This wine celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2016. Representing its 99th birthday, the 2015 Barolo Tre Tine is a blend of fruit from Ravera (60%), Le Coste (20%) and Cannubi San Lorenzo (20%). These sites...
The name Palladino needs no introduction here at PRIMA as it has been the source of our best-selling Barbera d’Alba (still available for $19.99) for going on five years. Their Barolos, though, are much rarer as very few cases actually make...
Fantastic purity of fruit and ripeness with sweet strawberries, white pepper, limestone and dried flowers both on the nose and palate. Full-bodied with layers of fruit and firm, chewy tannins.

To take advantage of one of the most exciting vintages ever at this seminal property, the Scavinos have bottled the second-ever release of the Riserva San...
We’ve sold every vintage of the Sandrones’ wines here at PRIMA since the 1988 harvest arrived (along with me) in 1994, and I can say, that the two Barolos they made in 2017 are amongst the sexiest, most elegant achievements...
Always the most exotic and easily identifiable wine in the cellar, this is super charming and aromatic. Cinnamon sticks, anise seed and a ton of almost blueberry-like fruit make this a standout. Wine Advocate: The Oddero 2017 Barolo Villero is...
Winery Notes: Deep garnet red colour. Fascinating and deep on the nose. Notes of hay, cut grass, tobacco, white pepper and wild mint. Robust, muscular on the palate, with a taut and mineral finish. The tannins are typical of Serralunga: angular,...
The Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore shows good concentration and a robust bouquet with dark fruit and nutty aromas that remind me of toasted hazelnuts or almonds. Those nutty aromas segue to earthy truffle and potting soil that are also specific to...
If you’ve ever driven from the town of
Barbaresco to the neighboring hilltop town of Neive, you’ve most likely driven down the hill and turned right on the Tanaro road. As you head towards Neive and look to the immediate left side of your...
This small estate with cellars near the town of Neive is about as Old School as it gets. Although there is a computer, a fax and a telephone in the office these days, there is virtually no other technology in sight. The old stainless steel...
Still the cantina’s signature wine, this cuvee still comes 100% from the Fiasco cru in Castiglione. A more forward wine than the monolithic 2019, this will drink sooner, albeit it will not be as gracious in its youth as, say, the 2018. ...
A very fragrant, polished Movig that drinks more like a fine Burgundy than a robust young Barolo. Excellent length and a seductive palate that will beguile for many years. Intriguing as always. Vinous 93, JS 96

A delightful primer on the many attributes of the Nebbiolo grape, this lithe, aromatic beauty hails from the Giacosa family’s vineyard just on the Roero side of the Tanaro river, right across from the family’s holdings in the Neive commune of...
