Vietti • Barolo Castiglione - 2017
This is one of the most versatile wines to emerge from Italy in recent years. A bread and butter winner for Vietti, the 2017 Barolo Castiglione is sharply contoured and bright, with an excellent quality of fruit that can be described as crisp, tonic and rich. That extra concentration comes in part from the hot vintage; however, the greater Castiglione growing area delivers consistent quality and persistence above all else.

Nada Fiorenzo • Barbaresco Rombone – 2018
The 2018 Barbaresco Rombone is magnificent. Bright and translucent, the Rombone captures the intense spiciness and minerality that are so typical of Treiso and this sector in particular. The power, intensity and nuance here are simply remarkable. Aging in cask helps preserve some of the more subtler notes in the wine that were previously obscured by French oak. The 2018 is superb, and also quite possibly the best edition of this wine I have ever tasted.
