This wine is from Italy, Piedmont region, Dolcetto D'alba sub-region. E. Pira & Figli is a very important name in the history ofBarolo. The Pira family, whose members have beenvignerons for generations, started producing and bottlingwine at the end of the 19th century. When the Pira lineageended tragically with the death of Luigi Pira, the estate wassold to the Boschis family of Giacomo Borgogno & Figli.Chiara Boschis took over the reins in 1990 with a clearvision of what she wanted to accomplish - to marry theextraordinary power of Barolo with approachability, enticing elegance, and lush, intense aromas. She vinifiesexclusive ly from proprietary vineyards, located in the verybest crus of Barolo: Cannubi, San Lorenzo and Via Nuova,comprising a total of 14 acres. Annual production is... Less

The producer Giacomo Conterno is clearly one of the two greatest names in all of Piemonte (the other being Bruno Giacosa), and each and every wine that bears the Conterno label is a profound example of its varietal and underlying terroir. While Monfortino is justifiably celebrated as one of the world’s very greatest red wines, the Barolo “Cascina Francia” is often very close to the quality of the Riserva, and is also one of the finest bottlings in all of Barolo. The Barolo “Cascina Francia” destined for bottling after approximately four years in wood.

This wine is from Italy. Conternoas 2002 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is a legend in the making, or now that it is in bottle, it may be more correct to simply say it is a legend. The late Giovanni Conterno and his son Roberto Conterno created quite a stir when they announced that they would make their Monfortino in 2002, a year in which most of the harvest in Piedmont was severely compromised by a cold summer and devastating hail in early September. But there was more. The Conternos not only announced that they would make their Monfortino in 2002 but no Barolo Cascina Francia for the first time ever in the estateas history. In a bit of defiance towards the press, the Conternos then announced no one would be allowed to taste the wine from barrel. Over the years, this stance softened. Visitors... Less

This wine is from Italy, Piedmont region. Chiara Boschis makes less than 1000 cases per year of her Cannubi, which has a persistent nose, packed with floral and fruity notes. It is a dry, soft and harmonious wine that drinks particularly well with braised meat, roasts, and aged cheeses.Wine AdvocateThe 2004 Barolo Cannubi possesses superb depth, clarity and inner perfume, with layers of fruit, sweet spices and menthol that develop in the glass as this magical wine gradually reveals its sublime personality and remarkable texture. Well-integrated oak, ripe, silky tannins and a finish that lasts forever round out this beautiful wine, which was simply stunning on both occasions I tasted it. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022.

This fine wine is a Italian Still Wine 2000 vintage from Piedmont Barolo produced by Marchesi di Barolo that is 750ml.

Good bright red. Crushed cherry, dried flowers, minerals and menthol on the nose, complicated by spicy oak scents. Extremely tight, dry and penetrating, showing almost painful intensity today in spite of its velvety texture. Classic austere Barolo... Stephen Tanzer's IWC.

This wine is from Italy. The 2006 Barolo Cascina Francia is a deep, muscular wine endowed with superb richness, inner perfume and structure. From cask this has always been an intense, inward Barolo and now that it is in bottle, those qualities seem even more prominent. Over time, the classic Cascina Francia bouquet of roses, tar, herbs and licorice comes forward, but only reluctantly. A massive wall of tannins prevents the fruit from emerging, but every now and then the wine shows hints of its ultimate potential. The finish alone is breathtakingly beautiful for its balance and inner sense of harmony. The 2006 is not as showy young as other recent great vintages such as 2001 or 2004, so I will not be surprised if it is overlooked, but it is a magnificent Barolo that only needs time, and... Less

The 2004 Barolo Riserva Rocche dell’Annunziata has developed beautifully since I last tasted it a few years ago. That said, I am amazed how bright and primary the fruit still is.

A Nebbiolo wine from Piedmont in Italy. 2004 Paolo Scavino Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva 750ml

A classic sparkling wine made only in the finest vintages using the “metodo classicoa approach, which employs the same techniques applied in the Champagne region of France.Vinified according to the same methods used to produce white wine and left to develop in stainless steel for six months before undergoing a secondary fermentation in the bottle. Disgorged no less than 36 months after “tiragea (second fermentation).

The latest addition to the Azelia line-up, the Barolo "Margheria" is an award-winning, single-vineyard bottling from the prized Serralunga vineyard in which the vines are 30 years old. Aged in French-oak barriques, of which a part are new, for 18 months and then for 6 months in large oak casks, only about 600 cases are produced annually. In it's very first vintage, the wine received 90 points from the Wine Spectator!

This stylish, integrated wine is marked by ripe wild cherry and red currant flavors with spicy notes of pepper, grilled nuts, tar and a hint of violets set in structure balancing refined tannins and high toned acidity. The vineyard, overlooking the town of Barolo, stretches north and eastward, and is comprised of five plots: Cannubi (proper), Cannubi Muscatel, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Cannubi Valleta and Cannubi Boschis (also called Monghisolfo) with a collective area of just under 85 acres. While many contend that there is little qualitative difference among the vineyard plots, nor from one extremity of the slope to the other, true purists insist that only wines from Cannubi proper should be entitled to the name as such, and that the four sub-zones should always be differentiated by name,...

The flavor calls to mind the sunshine of the Langhe hills; the bouquet is reminiscent of spice, tobacco, cinnamon and ripe fruit, with undertones of very fine wood. Color is garnet red, lively and intense, with slightly orange hues, but it is on the palate this wine fully reveals its magnitude, character and complexity: velvety, round, with soft tannins, well balanced components and remarkable persistence, it confirms the bouquet’s subtly spicy vein, with notes of liquorice and vanilla. Barolo, undoubtedly the noblest of Nebbiolo varietals, finds one of its highest expressions in Marcarini’s Brunate cru, resulting in an austere, majestic wine, with perfectly balanced acidity and tannins, indicating ideally ripened grapes.This wine takes its name from the homonymous single vineyard at La...

Tun 1401 is a very special vatting from the Balvenie's Warehouse 24, one of the oldest areas of the distillery grounds and home to some of the most special casks in Speyside. It was conceived by the Balvenie's malt master David Stewart, who was so inspired by the magical atmosphere inside Warehouse 24, that he created Tun 1401 to capture the essence of it in a bottle.There are 4 batches of Tun 1401, each with unique characteristics and ingredients. They were made under the guidance of Mr. Stewart, who hand selected every cask and monitored each batch as they 'married' over a three month period.The first batch was made for distillery visitors only, and was created from 6 casks - a 1973 Sherry Butt, a 1972 Sherry Hogshead and American casks from 1966, 1974, 1978 and 1988.Batch 2 was...
