Why Tony D. loves this wine: "A veritable pantheon of Piedmonte giants comprise this blend. Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto play the staring role but not to be outshined by the presence of some more esoteric varietals like Freisa and Albarossa. All separately vinified and blended after maturing, it shows a wonderfully fresh, but firm and serious Piedmonte red for a fantastic value. Red fruits like tart cherry and red raspberry are accompanied by incense, red flowers, and a distinct rustic earthy quality. Tannins are well incorporated on the palate along with fresh acidity and a heartiness that belies its color. Every time I have featured this wine at a tasting, it always sells out. It remains one of my favorite values in all of Italy and perhaps all the wine-growing world."

Why Michael F. loves this wine: Purple-black in the glass, the oak sings with notes of ripe black plum and cassis, all carried along with a velvety fine-grained tannin. Delish!

Why Mike F. loves this wine: "50 year old Roussette vines from Frangy, a favored site in Savoie. Has the fatness of Chardonnay but with dazzling minerality. Made even more exotic and fetching by gingerbread, green apple and stone fruit notes."

Why Michael F. loves this wine: Nimble as a gymnast, this Sauvignon Blanc is sly with the way it explodes with notes of lemon-orange rind, green apple, and a mouthwatering saline acidity.

Why Travis R. loves this wine: "When speaking of this wine, Marcel Lapierre says 'It’s a wine... that you drink like a beer... when you don’t really want to drink a beer.'" If you have had the pleasure of their exquisite Morgon, these grapes come from the same area, but are made in a manner that produces a fun & friendly fruity-forward style, while still maintaining complexity. Enjoy with a slight chill."
