Giacomo Conterno "Cerretta" Barbera d'Alba 2017
93+
Wine Advocate
(6/28/2019) "Barbera loves a warm vintage, and that's exactly what it got in 2017. Roberto Conterno tells me his favorite recent vintages are 2015, 2016 and 2017. Because of low yields in this hot and dry year, no large-format bottles of the 2017 Barbera d'Alba Cerretta were produced. The Cerretta vineyard is characterized by a higher percentage of clay soils, and this greatly impacts the density and the power of the wines that come from this site. This wine shows dark fruit intensity with some lingering sweetness (followed by 15.5% alcohol). However, the wine also offers concentrated freshness packed tight within the thick fiber of the fruit, and the results are never heavy. This beautiful wine just oozes Barbera typicity with soft and generous layering."

Deltetto "San Michele" Roero Arneis 2017
91
Our Score
(6/2020) This is one high-level Piemontese white that wouldn't look out of place in a lineup of warm-vintage 1er Chablis, at roughly half the price. Farming organically certified vines from a single hillside site, the Deltetto family has been growing Arneis in Roero for over 40 years - yet these wines still fly under the radar! The San Michele is a texturally-driven wine, having been fermented in cement and used barrique with some additional lees aging. The result in a complex, yeasty nose bursting with oyster shell and crushed chalk over poached pear, lemon spritz, yellow apple skin, and nutmeg. The finish is extremely long and this has the verve and flesh to pear with richer fish and cream sauces with aplomb.

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.

(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.

G. D. Vajra Langhe Rosso 2017
90
Our Score
(4/2019) With this 2017 Langhe Rosso, Vajra captures the beauty of Piedmont in a playful and energetic wine that is both fruity and complex. A field blend of Barbera, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and a handful of other Piedmontese grapes, it sings of fresh cherries, strawberry and raspberry with beautiful red floral tones and an enticing underlying earthiness that presents the wine's "old world" origin. This outstanding light colored red should be served with a slight chill and enjoyed with pizza, light pasta dishes, hors d'oeuvres or all on its own.
