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 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."

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."

Madeline Triffon, M.S. - "A stunningly steal! This utterly delish Italian red manages to be rich, ripe, earthy and polished, all in the same mouth-filling sip. Extracted color stains the glass, and the fruit mimics juicy red and black plums, laced with anise..."

Why Michael F. loves this wine: The result of owner Anne-Charlotte's daughter's request for a more graceful Chateauneuf-du-Pape after attending college in Burgundy, this is eminently drinkable with notes of bright cherry, allspice, savory elements, with great nuance, but yet the plush texture we know and love of Rhone blends. Lovely!

Why Madeline Triffon, M.S. loves this wine: Refined style, integrated wood, not flashy, creamy, ageworthy!
