The Almondo family have been in Piedmont for the past 600 years, yet their foray into winemaking only dates to 1980 when Domenico came up with an ambitious plan to create top quality wine from their family vineyard. The result is superb, and the Roero Bric is a Nebbiolo-based red cuvée that will age beautifully and represents a stunning value alternative to the more famous names across the Tanaro river, Barbaresco or Barolo. The 2021 exhibits tell-tale floral and sweet yet crunchy red cherry aromatics, with hints of peppery spice. Lovely mouthfill and power, this is very pleasant now and will improve for the next 5 to 7 years. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2018 G.D. Vajra, Barolo, Bricco delle Viole 6x75cl
"The 2018 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is not super intense, but it is balanced in its own way. The wine is subdued but complete with softly yielding tannins to support an elegantly streamlined... mouthfeel. Bricco delle Viole is a high and cool growing site in Barolo at 400 to 480 meters in elevation with characteristic Sant'Agata marl soils with fossils. The wine represents a selection of fruit from over seven hectares. With fermentation in steel tank and aging in large Slavonian oak, you are invited to a silky, lifted and beautifully delicate experience with an accessible personality."

2019 Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco, Asili 6x75cl
"Most approachable, even at this early stage. Yet the Asili Barbaresco shows mightily impressive depth of flavour for a cuvée that is all about delicacy and elegance. No doubt this is courtesy of... the naturally limited yields of the 2019 growing season, and the fleshy texture brings a level of opulence that befits this cuvée beautifully. Pretty gorgeous stuff… " Mr Wheeler Wine Tasting Note

2019 Prunotto, Barbaresco Secondine 6x75cl
"The 2019 Borboresco Secondine is a classy, elegant wine. Sweet perfumed aromatics meld into a core of sweet red cherry fruit, pine, spice, menthol, licorice and tobacco. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2019 has plenty of depth and tons of complexity to match. This is a fine showing." 92 pts., Antonio Galloni, vinous.com

2013 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Brunate 6x75cl
"Bright ruby colour with a light orange hue. Delicate fragrances of violets, aromatic herbs, dark fruit and sweet spice are intriguing and refined. Composed and finely structured the palate... replicates the
complexity of the bouquet. Silky tannins and a bright acidity lead to a lengthy finale. A Barolo of superb austerity and elegance." Enzo Boglietti Tasting Note

2018 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Case Nere 6x75cl
Bright ruby colour. Alluring aromatics of red fruit, liquorice and some mineral notes. Classically
structured with an exquisite density, the tannins are beautifully evident but fine and very pleasant. The clay portion of the soil is responsible for the robust structure while the clay patches provide for the freshness and balance of aromas.

2020 Elvio Cogno, Barbera d’Alba, Pre-Phylloxera 6x75cl
“It has a dark, brilliant ruby red color with intense violet reflections. The aromas are enveloping, harmonious and deep, with evident spicy notes at the first impact and fruity notes of raspberry,... strawberry and ripe cherry. Pleasant harmonies of wildflowers on the finish. In the mouth the wine has a great structure, fresh and with excellent acidity and great balance, with an enveloping tannic texture, with flavors that recall black cherry, blackberry and plum.” (Winemaker's tasting note)

2016 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Case Nere 6x75cl
"Trademark smoky nose. Nice structure here and a bit more sweet fruit to support the powerful tannins. Nice mouth-watering acidity lifts the wine and this should age and really come into itself nicely." 17 pts., Alistair Cooper, jancisrobinson.com

2009 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Case Nere 6x75cl
"Good deep red. Very ripe, high-toned aromas of mocha, coffee and cocoa powder; slightly porty. Then sweet, very ripe and rather easygoing in the mouth, with a wild musky quality enlivened by notes of herbs, clove and pine needles. Fairly oaky Barolo but sweet and pliant, even silky." 90 pts., Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com

2018 G.D. Vajra, Barolo, Albe 6x75cl
"Lovely Nebbiolo aromas of rose, violet, red berry and botanical herb shape the fragrant nose. Smooth and savory, the elegant palate features juicy red cherry, crushed raspberry and cake spice... alongside polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. It's already drinking beautifully but also promises years of pleasure. Enjoy through 2030." 94 pts., Kerin O'Keefe, 9/1/2022

2016 Enzo Boglietti, Barolo, Brunate 6x75cl
"Light, bright ruby colour with an orange hue. Beautifully lifted bouquet of red and dark fruit, fresh
rose and some spice. A classy version of Brunate that combines austerity, vibrant fruit... characters
and fine tannins. Persistent, fulfilling and exquisitely varietal. The silty clay soil with little organic matter is responsible for the powerful yet austere structure, the large clay patches give the complexity of flavours and aromas." Enzo Boglietti Tasting Note
