Part of the Badarina MGA (Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva, or Cru) in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba, the vineyard is characterised by its considerable altitude, which brings a touch of freshness to the Barolos produced from its grapes. Barolo Badarina Docg from the Reverdito winery is vinified exclusively in wooden casks. Garnet red with orange highlights. Intense, complex bouquet with spicy and fruity notes. Full-bodied and elegant on the palate.

The Segni Di Langa Barolo DOCG 2018 is a true masterpiece from the Piedmont region of Italy. This vintage showcases the signature characteristics of the Barolo varietal, boasting a deep ruby red hue with garnet reflections. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and a hint of truffle dance elegantly with notes of violet and tobacco. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. The 2018 vintage is a testament to the skill and expertise of Segni di Langa, with its well-balanced acidity and intense flavor profile. This Barolo pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised beef or aged cheeses. Decanting is recommended to fully appreciate the complexity of this exceptional wine. A true delight for any wine connoisseur.

On the palate it is very vigorous, rich in extracts, with lively and pleasant tannins that are rounded through a skilful use of wood. A powerful, tantalizing Nebbiolo by Luigi Pira with a great ageing potential.

Situated between Neive and the town of Barbaresco itself, Cotta beautifully combines the rich, fuller-bodied nature of Neive, with the tannic structure of Barbaresco. With a south-west exposure, it is usally the richest and roundest of the Sottimano crus, typically showing abundant red and black fruits with refined nuances of mint, leading to a palate of notable length. The tannins are there, but beautifully expressive and silky. A benchmark Barbaresco with a 15-20 year cellar life.

ELIO ALTARE, Barolo DOCG The Elio Altare Barolo is a blend of Nebbiolo grapes from the La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga dAlba and Barolo sub-regions. Only 800-850 dozen bottles are produced each year from vineyards planted on south and south-east facing slopes in the late 1900s. The vineyards, on various soil types, are farmed organically, but along traditional lines. The grapes are crushed and then macerated on skins for 4-5 days in temperature-controlled rotary fermenters before fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is matured for 24 months in French oak barriques before bottling unfined and unfiltered. The Elio Altare Barolo shows an intense ruby-red colour with hints of garnet. On the nose fresh scents of small red fruits, raspberry, redcurrant and wild roses evolve into licorice and spice notes. The palate is typically warm, elegant and persistent, with soft tannins and a long finish.

Boroli Barolo Cerequio comes from one of La Morra’s most historic crus, a natural amphitheatre of Nebbiolo known for its warm, sheltered aspect and long reputation for producing refined, ageworthy Barolo. The Boroli family source fruit from premium parcels in this “Riviera delle Langhe” hillside, where clay-limestone soils with sandy veins and constant ventilation give ripe but balanced grapes with natural freshness. In the cellar, carefully selected bunches are destemmed and given a long maceration with submerged cap, before maturation in oak to shape structure while preserving site detail. In bottle, Cerequio typically shows clear ruby colour, bright cherry and strawberry, floral notes such as camomile and rose, and hints of spice, cedar and liquorice, wrapped in firm yet polished tannins and a long, savoury finish. This is Boroli’s La Morra statement: Barolo of poise and fragrance that drinks well in its first decade yet has the backbone to evolve gracefully in the cellar.
