Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.

Rivolta Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno 2017
93 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
– Ian d’Agata (Vinous)
Rivolta Aglianico Del Taburno 2017
100% Aglianico. “Outstanding example of what the Aglianico variety can deliver in the right hands. Ripe red cherry, orange peel and sweet herb aromas. Then rich, fresh and perfumed in the mouth, displaying outstanding cut and clarity to the vibrant red berry and blue fruit flavors. Finishes with a dusting of minerals and botanical herbs. Still very young and will age well.”

Sacchetto 2022 Pinot Grigio
Garofoli 2022 Farnio Rosso Piceno
A harmonious blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Montepulciano. The Sangiovese contributes vibrant Bing and red cherry notes, while the Montepulciano brings rich flavors of black cherry and dark plum. Smooth and approachable, this wine is perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with a flavorful wild mushroom and leek pizza.
