100 points by Vinous.<br>From fifth-generation producer Vietti, the 2016 Ravera hails from one of Barolo’s greatest modern vintages. Powerful and precise with structure built for decades of ageing, it’s a rare opportunity to own a benchmark “King of Wine” from one of Piedmont’s most celebrated estates.

Established in 1858 by the first king of Italy, Fontanafredda is now the single largest contiguous wine estate in the Langhe region, with a fierce commitment to organic viticulture as well as woodland regeneration. The Platinum label represents the unique tradition of the Estate and more than 160 years of history. This is a serious, brooding Barolo, aged at the Estate for a minimum of 62 months to highlight the complexity, structure and richness of classic Barolo Reserva. Ruby red with the faintest hints of bricking on the edge. Intensely aromatic and complex, with black cherries, tobacco, dried mushrooms, nutmeg, and sweet balsamic notes all vying for attention. Supple, sweet fruit and round, powdery tannins on the palate. So much complexity with nothing out of place.

Lingo - Say it with confidence.This wine may be hard to pronounce, but the flavour rolls across the tongue. This Nebbiolo ( Neh-Bee-Ow-Low) provides a rustic, savoury palate, with delicious red fruit flavours and firm tannins.

Built by Alfredo and Katrina based on their passions and commitment to family and the Pizzinis Italian heritage. The Pizzini La Volpe Nebbiolo is a fruit driven savoury wine with soft tannins. Ideal food match with Italian inspired dishes.

The Maretti Langhe Rosso weaves rich and opulent Barbera (70%) with the haunting aromas and structure of Nebbiolo (30%) to create an inviting and rewarding wine with layers of complexity one that is truly expressive of this unique wine region.

This wine was made in 2011 and 2012 but not in 2013. The 2014 Barolo Falletto (white label) is fascinating to taste right after the Barbaresco Riserva Asili from the same vintage. There is no doubting the extra muscle mass and power that is obtained in the Barolo appellation, and from the Serralunga dAlba township specifically. This dramatic Barolo delivers darkness and density. It shows a beautiful appearance with faint highlights of dark ruby that add a subtle sparkle. At this point in its drinking cycle, the wine shows all the characteristic traits of its youth. This means it is more closed and rigid at present. That nervous tightness needs to be factored in when assessing the cellar longevity of this vintage. Hints of the wines inner complexity, sheer determination and textural fortitude are already bubbling up from deep inside this firmly layered Nebbiolo. I wanted to mention the tightness of the tannins now. These will undoubtedly serve to carry this wine forward over the coming decades. *95 points*, The Wine Advocate Monica Larner

Blend 2 combines two of the Nebbiolo clones we have growing at Pipan Steel Wines. It has the perfume from Clone 9 and the savouriness from Clone 10, resulting in a smooth, fragrant wine. Enjoy it with your best friends and favourite food.
