TASTING NOTES

The 2018 Timorasso Derthona Montemarzino is only the fourth vintage produced and has quickly captured the imagination of collectors. Made from the Timorasso grape, Luca produces the very best example from a tiny one-hectare plot in the Colli Tortonesi, 400 metres above sea level. Ripe and honeyed, this displays a fine balance of refreshing acidity and creamy texture. We suggest...

Fenocchio's smallest production wine, a Bussia Riserva that spends 90 days macerating on the skins. Long maceration is key to Claudio's winemaking style, and it reaches its peak here with immensely complex aromas of truffles, black cherry, rosewater, and aromatic herbs. A subtle, velvety wine with remarkable depth.

TASTING NOTES

First produced in 2013, this is an especially soft, open-knit style, and yet there is plenty of Nebbiolo persistence and overall grip. It doesn’t take much to see where the Faset is likely to go in coming vintages. Grapes come from a tiny half hectare plot and no more than 2,000 bottles are produced.

TASTING NOTES

This is just the second vintage of this wine, made from a parcel rented by a family friend. Antonio Galloni writes: “Barbaresco Albesani is frankly on another level relative to the other Barbarescos Luca Roagna has recently added to his range.” The chalky soils contribute to the wine’s fragrant aromatics.

TASTING NOTES

Another new wine for the Roagna family, first produced in 2014, Gallina offers the hedonistic quality that typifies wines from this site whilst also displaying the classical feel of Roagna’s Barbarescos. Like Albesani, this comes from a leased parcel of vines in Neive.
