This first whiff of this wine is like peering into the Grand Canyon's, where layers of red and black berries stretch endlessly, growing deeper with each inhale. Every swirl reveals new depths of sweet tobacco and woodland spices that tease the senses. Pure Nebbiolo power shows its true colors on the palate, where firm tannins and ripe fruit cascade through infinite layers, never hitting bottom. Drink Now - 2040.

Elegant aromas of crushed stones and lemon peel rise with delicate precision from the glass. The energetic palate snaps with tart citrus and stony mineral notes, while zippy acidity propels everything forward to a refreshingly saline finish.

Purple fruit bursts from the glass like a summer berry pie cooling on the windowsill, with sweet spices and violet candies playing backup singers. This is classic Barbera doing its favorite dance move: zesty red fruits and flowery notes zip across the palate with that trademark lightning bolt of acidity keeping everything fresh and fun. 

The dynamics of crushed red berries, cranberry, umami, and sweet oak are swirling on the top notes. At the same time, the mouthfeel is juicy with mulberry, cranberry, and citrus cream flavors, rushing into a dry but gravelly finish that makes the palate salivate. pair with roasted half-chicken, seasonal veggies.

While most people are more familiar with the Louis Roederer name from its tête de cuvée wine, Cristal, the Champagne house also produces this much more wallet-friendly bottling. Roederer releases different collections, each representing a new chapter for the winery, and this represents the 245th. This iteration can be defined by notes of ripe peaches, yellow nectarines, rosemary, citrus, and brioche. There’s also a flinty minerality that adds freshness on the palate.
