G. D. Vajra Barbera d'Alba 2017
91
Our Score
(9/2019) This is a long and strong wine with a refreshing touch of youthful tannin. Dark plum and cherry flavors lead the way with Moroccan spice notes adding a nice complexity. Give this friendly Piemontese red 30 minutes in a decanter to get it really rocking and it will be as dinner table versatile as anything going.

G. D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo 2017

(8/2019) Though all women and men are created equal, this is not true of Piemontese Nebbiolo. The highest expressions of this singular grape variety from Barolo and Barbaresco are fascinating, top-level wine junkie material that command eyewatering price tags and demand patience in the cellar. There are also youthful, carbonic maceration variants that are cheap and cheerful but don't offer true varietal expression. For just under $20, Vajra achieves something quite difficult to do, crafting this varietally authentic, high-toned expression of young-vine Nebbiolo. Floral with lifted notes of strawberry, red plum, raspberry and pulsing food friendly acidity, the Vajra Nebbiolo feeds the need for happy, fresh food friendly wine while your Barolo slumbers in the cellar.

Deltetto "Clone 777" Langhe Pinot Nero 2017
91
Our Score
(6/2019) From one of Piedmont's best producers of sparkling wines comes this excellent, single-clone, certified organic Pinot Noir from the Deltetto family. Historically, most of the Pinot Noir grapes they grow are used in the production of their metodo classico wines, but now that the Pinot Noir vines are getting older they are able to turn out a serious still wine. This medium-bodied effort is delicious and complex with notes of black cherry, plum and wild raspberry layered with nuances of dried earth, baking spices, tea leaf and dried red floral tones. With one foot in Burgundy and one firmly planted at home in Piedmont, this wonderful expression of Pinot Noir is unique, smartly priced, and most importantly, totally delicious!

De Forville Dolcetto d'Alba 2017
90+
Our Score
(12/2019) If Lou Reed drank Dolcetto, it would be this one. Chewy and honest, this is what most Dolcetto d'Alba used to taste like back in the day. Rugged yet charming, the wine geeks among us will drink this by itself, but the rest of us will want food - ideally something with red sauce and sausage in it. That'd make for "a perfect day."

Monchiero Carbone "ReCit" Roero Arneis 2017
90+
Our Score
(11/2018) Arneis is one of Italy's most versatile white varietals and we love this latest release from Monchiero Carbone. Medium in body with medium-plus acidity, it is tense and nervy, with salinity, white rock minerality and an expressive citrus and white peach stone fruit mid-palate. With impressive concentration, mouthfeel and length, this is great by itself and will nicely complement chicken, pasta and most anything you put on the table.

Ghiomo "Lavai" Barbera d'Alba 2017
90+
Our Score
(8/2019) The 2017 vintage of the "Lavai" Barbera d'Alba from Ghiomo is flat-out gorgeous. It bursts from the glass with ripe fruit flavors of macerated cherries, dried strawberries and black raspberry coulis layered with complex secondary nuances of dried oregano, fennel, crushed rocks and baking spices. The texture is soft and silky with brisk acidity and a long finish. Pair this up with practially anything, but especially good with red sauce pasta and pizza.

Tenuta Olim Bauda "La Villa" Barbera d'Asti 2017
91
Our Score
(8/2019) Pure and precise, this is one of the most refined Barberas you'll find for the price. The 2017 La Villa offers a robust mouth presence with flavors of ripe cherry and wild raspberry. Medium to full in body, it offers a lovely, juicy quality along with bright and fresh palate-cleansing acidity. Perfect with simple pizza, pasta with red sauce or - better yet - serve it up with your favorite grilled meat dishes.

Wine Advocate
(6/29/2018) "Dolcetto is sometimes considered the ugly duckling of the Langhe. But in a hot vintage such as this, the grape flaunts its inner beauty and charm. The 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba delivers earthy and raw aromas of black fruit, plum and black olive. There are dusty sensations of crushed mineral or granite on the close. The finish offers vibrancy, depth and freshness."

(12/2018) What a pretty wine! This jumps from the glass with delicate, pure aromas. Nuanced peach skin, apple blossom and lime zest flavors are complemented by a great texture on the mouthfeel. A perfect combination of the cheerful and serious sides of Gavi.
