Regular Price $32.99

This example by the 4th generation, old school producer Brovia, is the sole white wine in their arsenal. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, its fresh and bright but with impressive weight and laudable stone fruit and floral flavors.

Antoniolo ‘Juvenia’ Nebbiolo, Costa della Sesia 2013
Regular price: $29.99
Sale Price: $23.99
Nebbiolo is the grape that makes the famed wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, but is also found in Alto Piemonte, the Alpine foothills an hour north. This wine hails from the tiny appellation of Coste della Sesia, just outside located just outside of Gattinara, which is where most of the holdings of Antoniolo are located. This is an early drinking style of Nebbiolo, but is still firm and structured and intense, as it should be. Classically exhibiting tart cherry, dried roses and smoke, the wine is polished and smooth and readily enjoyable. Some critics suggest this is a wine that will improves for a decade. Why wait?
