A Barolo that brings together three villages like a perfectly planned dinner party, each guest bringing their best dish to the table. This blend from Barolo, Novello, and Monforte d'Alba floats from the glass with the delicacy of vintage lace: dried cherries sharing gossip with cola and incense while herbs dry by the window. The palate arrives fashionably on time with pomegranate and red currants making their entrance, those fine tannins and bright acidity working the room like seasoned hosts. As the evening progresses, earth and savory notes take center stage like good conversation hitting its stride. — Jeff Porter
