Some beautiful new Barbarescos just landed. Great wines, with great press, that are approachable but with the complexity to age for many years. /span>
 
 New Arrivals from Barbaresco!

 

2016, 2017, & 2018 - Up to 97 Points

 

Elegant, age-worthy reds from Piemonte

 

From the 2016, 2017 and 2018 vintages we offer some beautiful expressions of nebbiolo. A run of three great vintages with stunning wines from the vineyards around the village of Barbaresco. The wines require less initial aging than their cousins in Barolo, and typically are harvested slightly earlier. But the flavors and aromas of nebbiolo come shining through, and these wines age just as gracefully.  Often referred to as being more 'feminine', the reality is that these are wines of elegance and grace, and surprising depth.

 

 
 

2016 Albino Rocca Barbaresco Angelo

$99.89/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now

 

97 WS / 96 WE / 94+ VM / 94 JS / 93 WA

Cherry, kirsch and peony aromas and flavors are the main features of this delicate red. These themes are accented by tar, tobacco and underbrush notes, showing an underpinning of mineral as this builds to a long finish. Beautifully balanced, with a white pepper aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2042. 175 cases made, 30 cases imported. — BS, Wine Spectator

 

Rose petal, iris, dark-skinned berry and spice aromas mingle with balsamic notes of camphor on this fragrant, stunning red. Elegantly structured, the precise palate evokes cranberry, Marasca cherry, star anise and thyme set against tightly knit but refined tannins and bright acidity. It's a quintessential Barbaresco, with fantastic tension. Drink 2024–2036. Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

 

 


 

 

2017 Azienda Agricola Ronchi Barbaresco

94 VM

The 2017 Barbaresco is supple and engaging, which makes it a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Sweet floral and spice notes meld into a core of sweet red berry fruit. Time in the glass brings out attractive floral overtones as the layers start to open. Ronchi's straight Barbaresco has been one of the region's under the radar gems for some time now. The 2017 is another fine edition.-- Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

95 WE

Ripe berry and dark spice aromas come to the forefront along with earthy truffle notes. On the savory, elegant palate, firm, refined tannins support raspberry compote, mature cherry and baking spice. It's nicely balanced, with fresh acidity. Drink through 2030. Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

 

2018 La Ca' Nova Barbaresco Montestefano

$46.89/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now

 

96 WE

Forest floor, cedar, new leather and camphor aromas take shape in the glass on this compelling, earthy red. Showing a Barolo-like structure, the full-bodied, savory palate has an alluring wildness and energy to it, delivering dried cherry, blood orange, black olive and licorice framed against a backbone of tightly knit tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. It's still youthfully austere and needs a few more years to fully develop. Drink 2026–2038. Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

 

2018 La Ca' Nova Barbaresco

$35.89/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now

 

95 WE

Balsamic aromas of camphor mingle with blue flowers, new leather and underbrush. Full-bodied and loaded with personality, the structured palate features raspberry compote, baking spice, star anise and an earthy touch of truffle. Firm, velvety tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced. Drink through 2030. Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast
