2014  Barbaresco

"Compared to the Tre Stelle, the 2014 Barbaresco Rio Sordo seems to have a slightly riper quality of fruit. The difference is minimal but it makes sense given that the heat during the 2014 vintage all came toward the very end of the growing season. This beautiful wine is bold and slightly more robust with dark cherry and red currant. It is also more marked in terms of tannins and structure. Only 1,500 bottles were made." - 91pts WA & 94pts WE

Pelaverga Basadone -- Some of the Castello di Verduno wines have a drawing of a flower found in the wine's vineyards.The Pelaverga label has a drawing of poppies which are called Basadone in local dialect (papavero in Italian). Basadone in dialect also means a little kiss - local tradition has it that Pelaverga is an aphrodesiac!

2010  Castello di Verduno Barolo Riserva Monvigliero

92+ JG The 2010 Monvigliero Riserva from the Castello di Verduno is an absolutely superb wine in the making, offering up a deep and pure bouquet of black cherries, bonfire, spit-roasted gamebird, superb soil tones, licorice and a nice touch of fresh oregano in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and nicely structured, with a sappy core, fine focus and grip, tangy acids and a long, ripely tannic and nascently complex finish. Another outstanding example of this exceptional terroir. 2023-2055+.

2013  Bolgheri Rosso DOC

The Ceraltis have been farmers for several generations in Bolgheri, and after many years of selling grapes to Ornellaia and Sassacaia, 10 years ago, they built their own winery and are now bottling their entire estates' grape production This is their entry level Bolgheri DOC wine which means the grapes come from the best region of Bolgheri. A big, fruity red, almost New World in style except for the vibrant acidity and firm backbone of tannins. The bright fruit evokes black cherry and black currant flavors, while cedar and leather notes add depth. A complete package.
