I stumbled upon these two gems while leafing through an importer’s book and my eyes nearly jumped out of my head! Do these unicorns really exist? This blue chip Barolo Cannubi from a vintage pretty much considered as one of the best vintages ever from...
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.

35% Corvina,35% Corvinone, 23% Rondinella and 7% Oseleta Decanter: A relatively restrained nose shows dried garden herbs with plum and floral nuances. On the palate, fig and prune flavours are laced with cigar smoke...
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,...
2018 Baricchi Barbera d'Alba 'Riva della Coda' This miniscule estate is making some of the most compelling wines we’ve tried recently. Located in Neviglie, on the fringe of the Barbaresco appellation near the town of...
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...
Fans of good Barbera all agree that the category is wide, diverse and lots of fun to explore. From the lighter spicier wines of Asti and northern Piemonte and their more supercharged, age-worthy brethren in Nizza to the more substantial, dark,...
Winery Notes: A wine obtained exclusively from Pinot Bianco grapes, a varietal of great excellence, particularly suited to hilly areas, which has adapted perfectly to Friuli and in particular to the area of Collio. The Pinot Bianco has been planted in a...

Mario Fontana is a very cool guy. His tiny cellar is a one-man show at the highest part of the Perno road that divides Monforte d’Alba and Castiglione Falletto, right next to ‘Reppublica di Perno,’ one of...
Wine Country: Italy Wine Subregion: Piemonte The discovery of Cornarea was the product of several years hard research in the Langhe- a search for an Arneis we could recommend to our customers that the locals there themselves loved. I looked...
Damilano is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo. The family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno started cultivating and producing wine from the grapes from his own vineyards. Giuseppe improved the general quality of the vinification...
100% Marzemino, a red grape variety grown in Trentino, Lombardia and Veneto. You’ll find it mentioned in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, as apparently Marzemino was a very polar red wine at the Habsbourg Court in Vienna back then. Fermented and...
Terlan Muller Thurgau is a delicate pale yellow color. A fine spicy aroma of grapefruit and white pepper enters into a highly harmonious relationship with ripe peaches. Taste: With a well-balanced structur and a lively acidity, this...
