Sizzano Monsecco
From 40 year old vines grown in mineral rich soils, this wine is a blend of 60% Nebbiolo and 40% Vespolina and Uva Rara. A six month long fermentation in open topped, temperature controlled tanks follows at ten day maceration to extract the glorious black cherry, rose, and violet aromas of these varieties. The wine spends 18 months in a combination of old botte and second year French barriques. As with all Nebbiolo-based wines from great terroir, the combination of good acidity and firm, sweet tannins, make this ideal candidate for cellaring for up to 20 years.

Le Piane
Le Piane Maggiorina
"The 2015 Maggiorina is a crazy blend of more than 13 different grape varieties harvested from 25 separate vineyard sites. Leading roles are taken by the Nebbiolo, Croatina and Vespolina grapes, but there are white and aromatic varieties in there as well. This is a youthful and easy-drinking red wine that is buoyant and carefree in spirit. The wine is made in stainless steel with a brief maceration period. It's a simple and refreshing wine, but it is not banal. Drink it within the next two years. Christoph Künzli is a man of infectious charisma and joyful optimism. I highly recommend a visit to his little tasting room on the main square in the town of Boca. He also produces some of the finest wines you will find in Alto Piemonte. This high-performing winery is a true treasure not only for Piedmont but for Italian wine in general." -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Vallana Gattinara 2008
Producers Notes:
While Vallana’s wines have proven over the decades that they can be just as rich, velvet-textured and long-lived as the greatest Barolos and Barbarescos, their overall character is strikingly different from that of the Langhe wines.
Alto Piemonte lies at the foothills of the Alps where the warm Mediterranean and temperate Continental climates of Europe meet. The cooling flow of air through the alpine valleys and the presence of large lakes creates moderate conditions that are ideal for Spanna.
Of particular importance are the wide daily temperature swings during the latter part of the growing season, creating great complexity through slow, even maturation of the fruit.
The climate and high altitude, coupled with glacially deposited soils that are naturally high in acidity produces Nebbiolo of haunting perfume, great elegance and unusually long life.

Cigliuti
Cigliuti Serraboella Barbaresco 2012
Fratelli Cigliuti dates back to a time when Renato's father and his brother sold grapes and wine in bulk to local private customers. In 1964 Renato Cigliuti, the current owner & winemaker, inherited the estate and was the first to bottle his family's wine. The estate remains family owned and run, now into its fifth generation with daughters Claudia and Silvia. We produce approximately 30,000 bottles from our own vineyards of 6.5 hectares.
Nebbiolo is an elegant variety with mouthwatering acidity and a compelling perfume of rose petals, violets, fresh tar, licorice, clay, and dried cherries. Light in color and body, Nebbiolo is a more powerful wine than one might expect, and its firm tannins typically need time to mellow. With age, it develops a velvety texture and a stunningly complex bouquet.
