Nebbiolo

Share

Ioppa Ioppa $15.00

In the northwest area of Piemonte lies the DOC Colline Novaresi, from where this wine hails. 100% Nebbiolo and 100% stainless steel fermentation. Bright red fruits, watermelon rind, grapefruit with a rustic quality indicative of Nebbiolo. Still a bit of structure that makes this wine a certified winner for the summer.


Fiore Nebbiolo Fiore Nebbiolo $16.00

A beautifully balanced Nebbiolo. Aromas of dried violets, earth and hints of anise. The palate yields more savory earthiness, dark cherry, pomegranate, subtle notes from oak. Enough tannin to wait a few years, but enough acid to approach now. We envision a glass of this next to a piece of roast lamb.


Garetto in Pectore Barbera Garetto in Pectore Barbera $17.00

This is Barbera done for the American palate! Huge plum, spice and cedar show in this rich warm wine that envelopes your senses. Superiore means extra ripeness and alcohol in Italy and there's no doubt after even one sip.


Rivetto Barbera d'Alba Rivetto Barbera d'Alba $18.00

Our newest addition to the flight list is this Barbera dAlba from the Piedmont region of Italy. The Sommeliers searched and searched to find a rock star replacement for the previous Barbera which was beloved by all, and here it is. Smooth and juicy with hints of blackberries and wild flowers, smoke and char make it a perfect match for grilling and heavy cheeses.



Rivetto Langhe Nebbiolo Rivetto Langhe Nebbiolo $19.00

Nebbiolo is the same grape that makes our Barolo, Barbaresco, and Roero. This is the everyday version. Soft and herbal, tea colored with scents of dark cherry, tobacco, spices, basil and forest floor. Great food wine and also a fabulous sipper. Have anytime, with or without friends. Try it next door, we know youll be back.


Giovanni Rosso Langhe Nebbiolo Giovanni Rosso Langhe Nebbiolo $21.50

Excellent value wine from the Northwest of Italy, perhaps the best on our list, with dried fruits, spice and warm mocha cream. Loads of terroir and character but not overly heavy and still smooth. Great with any sort of game or grilled meats, even pasta in a Ragu.


Pasquale Pelissero Barbaresco Pasquale Pelissero Barbaresco $34.00

If your arent sure where to begin with our Nebbiolos, this is our middle one. Barbaresco is the Queen of the Piedmont, all light and finesse but packed with dried cherry, leather, tobacco and dried tea leaves. Elegance and Power


Michele Chiarlo Michele Chiarlo $42.50

What a beautiful find! For being so young this Barabaresco is super approachable. Dark cherry, leather, tobacco, and a subtle hint of chocolate. The lovely acidity balances well with the slightly grippy tannins. Pair with a steak or hard cheeses.


Fontanafredda Barolo Fontanafredda Barolo $46.00

When it comes it Italian wine, Barolo is king. Fontanafredda has been around so long they once supplied the royal family with their wine. Robust nose of dried violets and herbs, black cherry, subtle spices and even a little anise. Approachable yet noticeable tannins balanced well by its acidity. Truly this wine is noble.

  • Tintero Moscato

    #1 Tintero Moscato

    Sori Gramella refers to the one of the only single vineyard Moscatos, and Marco is the only producer to bottle this striking limestone amphitheater commercially. Once the 30 year old vines give up their bounty, and the grapes are harvested and pressed, they are kept in stainless steel at a low temperature to prevent fermentation until an order is received in order to provide the freshest wine possible.
