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)

£155 / Case£25.83 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 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
£228 / Case£38 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2019 Bruno Giacosa, Barolo, Falletto 6x75cl
Ripe and generous, featuring an array of dark fruits and sweet spice with a distinctive smoky character, typical of this terroir. The palate is dense and round, still quite closed but the effortless... freshness of the vintage provides length and true depth. A wine that needs time to settle but will provide true joy for those who have the patience to wait.
Duty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2019 Bruno Giacosa, Barolo, Falletto Vigna Le Rocche 6x75cl
A shy nose, first revealing distinctive wild herbs and crushed rock notes. The fruit expands in the glass enhancing the complexity of this truly blessed site. Ample texture and with an expansive... palate, this offers a lingering and profound freshness that gives harmony and depth to this elegant, precise vintage. The 2017 is comparable to the legendary 2016, but it needs time to be enjoyed at its prime.

"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
£137.50 / Case£45.83 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Future Arrival 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.

A blend of Dolcetto from hillside vineyards in Neive, Treiso, Nevigli and Alba. Luscious, velvety in texture, with ripe elderberries on the palate with slight dusty notes. Succulent, authentic, sweetly-fruited Dolcetto that is incredibly versatile with food.

"Treiso. Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby with orange tinges. Concentrated, complex nose with hints of cardamom and nutmeg. Elegant, lively fruit followed by bags of coating, bitter-sweet tannins that... are still a little tough and with marked acidity on the finish, but this has the bones for ageing." 17.5pts., Walter Speller, jancisrobinson.com, 14/5/2019

"Transparent pillar-box red. Powerful nose of dried something. Cherries? Rose petals? Perhaps both. Super-fresh, despite the alcohol, with such great presence in the mouth. It's not nearly ready but... it's clearly destined for great things. Sweet and chewy with a strong mineral undertow. Jewel-bright fruit. Real lift but more powerful than ethereal. Even slightly pungent with a whiff of cordite. Really refreshing health juice. Great stuff." 17.5 pts., Jancis Robinson, 10/3/2021
