Join us for a rare opportunity to taste a lineup of classic Barolo and Barbaresco wines from some of Piedmont's most revered villages. These wines never disappoint and are especially brilliant with winter fare—think soups, stews, braises, and hearty roasts.
Our local Italian wine expert and buyer, Tim Adams, will be pouring and sharing background, insights, and stories behind each bottle.
2019 Barbaresco Fastet Mura Mura
"A Big wine with lots of character, vivid aromas of leather, sun baked earth and wild sage, with juicy, deep flavors of roasted cherries, grilled plums and raspberries. The wine has great structure for further aging, too."

2018 Barolo DOCG Fratelli Giacosa
"Notes of dried strawberries, ground cloves, walnuts, hints of leather and crushed stones. Juicy and racy with medium to full body and a compact tannin structure. Attractive fruit character. Sleek and fruity. Better after two or three years."

2020 Barolo Badarina Grimaldi
"The Bruna Grimaldi 2020 Barolo Badarina offers a rich quality of dark fruit that is especially indicative of its roots in Serralunga d'Alba. The wine opens to earthy sensations, dried autumnal leaf and plum. It shows great intensity over medium-plus richness. There is a fun note of roasted hazelnut like the kind you buy on the street in paper wrappers."

2020 Barolo Ravera Monforte Rocca Giovanni
"A line of cherry is at the center of this supple red. Rose, mint, earth and anise accents add depth as this tightens up on the finish. Balanced, with a light dusting of tannins in the end."

2019 Barolo San Rocco Azelia
"San Rocco is a small MGA located on the northern side of Serralunga d'Alba with steep slopes that open toward Cerretta with clay and limestone. The 2019 Barolo San Rocco (with 7,300 bottles made) benefits from tighter space and a protected microclimate to produce powerful wines. However, this vintage certainly needs more time in bottle and is nowhere near expressing its full potential now. The bouquet is rigid and unyielding at this time. This is a characteristic of San Rocco."

2016 Barolo Ris Castelleto Forte Massa
"Closed with a black wax capsule, the Forte Masso 2016 Barolo Riserva Castelletto shows power, focus and austerity that comes from those extra years of cellar and bottle age. With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, this is a full-bodied Barolo with firm structure and a long succession of wild fruit, toasted nut, earth and spice aromas."
