The 2024 Gavi is a pale silver/straw color and is lifted and fresh on the nose with both floral and savory aromas. Vinified and aged only in stainless steel without oak, it opens to notes of pithy lemon, fresh flowers, green melon, and fresh tarragon. Medium-bodied and snappy on the palate, it has a crisp, refreshing feel and is a versatile wine for the table that will be very well-suited to snappy green salads. Enjoy it over the next several years.

A youthful magenta color, the 2023 Barbera D'Alba is fresh and fruity. This vintage was released at the end of 2024 and is the blend of more than 10 different locations in the Barolo and Barbaresco region as well as from villages outside the appellation. The nose is fresh with notes of ripe cherries, candied flowers, delicate baking spice, and just hint of turned earth. It’s medium-bodied and has snappy freshness, with a plush texture and a hint of savory earth notes, making this a very food-friendly wine, perfect for pasta nights and pizza. Drink over the coming 4-5 years.

A very linear and tight single-vineyard barbera with flint, spice, black licorice and dark fruit aromas that follow through to a medium body with vivid fine tannins and a bright finish. A very serious wine with polish and structure. Drink or hold.

Coming from Vigna Mosconi from the oldest vines now, the 2022 Barbera D'Alba Superiore Fides is a deeper purple/magenta color and is a more serious expression of Barbera. It’s raised the same way as the classic Barbera but sees a longer time in bottle prior to release. The nose opens to notes of lavender, fresh blue and black berries, fresh herbal spice, and peppercorn. The palate is approachable upfront, with a ripe, medium to full-bodied richness, but it has structure to age and has a lovely, graceful finish. Drink 2025-2035.

Displaying a deeper red color with more pigment, the 2021 Barolo Pio is more layered, savory, and noble in its feel all around and opens to notes of fresh cherries, licorice, lifted clove spice, and forest herbs. It shows a good deal of intensity on the palate, with firm, structured tannins, and while it’s medium-bodied, it feels more expansive and has mineral drive. It demands a bit of cellaring but will drink well over the next 15-20 years.
