2018  

Grapes are harvested from the municipalities of Castione Andevenno and Sondrio. Each vineyard site is harvested and vinified separately. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine ages in 25 hl and 56 hl oak barrels for about 20 months and then rests in steel tanks for 2 months before bottling. Bottle aging in dark and cool cellars for 6 months before release. Sassella comes from the Italian word "sasso", which means stone - this area is the rockiest sub-zone of the Valtellina Superiore DOCG. Ruby red color. Delicate bouquet with a prevalence of mineral and iron notes, hints of spices and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is harmonious, velvety and vibrant.

2008  Broglio

100% Nebbiolo. Serralunga d'Alba, a source of tannic, full-bodied Baroli characterised by deeper color, more structure, intensity & boldness. These are wines that require aging.

2002  Bricco Visette

"Barolo has ancient origins. Documents testify to the growing of Nebbiolo in the Visette area as long ago as the XII century, when the Saracen invasions advanced inland into Piedmont from the Ligurian coast. These influences led to the old centre of the village of Monforte being named "Saracca." The name Visette itself comes from the local dialect word for the vine, "vis." Made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Visette (Bussia) area of Monforte d’Alba." - Ghisolfi

2016  

85% Nebbiolo, 15% Neretto and Ner d'Ala Red wine obtained from the best exposed vineyards with pergola and espalier raised on terraces. The first vintage was 2016. It is made up of 90% Nebbiolo “Picotendro” and the remainder of the more mature clusters of Ner d'Ala and Neretti. The grapes are heated under the sun to ensure a quick start of fermentation which takes place in steel and wood. Each vineyard is vinified separately. Maceration lasts an average of 90 days. The refinement, always separated by vineyard, is carried out in used wood (500 and 225 liters). Not filtered.

2016  

"This wine represents a blend of fruit from four villages: Monforte d'Alba (the San Giovanni vineyard); La Morra (Berri and Boiolo); Verduno (Castagni); and Novello (Cerviano Merli and Sottocastello di Novello). The Virna 2016 Barolo Noi is a dark and expressive wine with an exuberant level of fruit. This blended Barolo is plush and round, or vitally void of the tannic astringency you see in some of its peers. A 20,000-bottle release, this is the quintessential medium-term Barolo to enjoy with grilled pork or lamb chops." - 92pts Wine Advocate

2019  

"The 2019 Barbaresco Marcarini (a certified organic wine) produces an elegant playlist of Nebbiolo aromas with wild berry, rusty earth, candied violets, lilac and licorice. This vintage is tonic and nicely firm in texture with a smooth and polished mouthfeel that is stitched together with a subtle tannic backbone. The wine is medium in length, but it would make a good near-term Barbaresco." - Wine Advocate

2017  

"A burst of pure cherry marks the aromas and flavors of this vibrant, elegant red. Earth, iron and tobacco flavors add depth, and this is densely structured, finding an equilibrium among the components. Needs a few years to come together. Best from 2023 through 2045. 665 cases made." - 95pts WS

2017  

"The Rivetto dal 1902 2017 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba shows more grit and power than most of the other Barolos in this flight, with a healthy serving of darkly concentrated fruit, sweet blackberry and cherry confit. Toasted oak, cedar sweetness and exotic spice also make an appearance. Some 20,000 bottles were made." - Wine Advocate

2014  

"The 2014 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is a wine of depth and substance. This Barolo achieves a very pretty level of density and power for what is a cooler vintage. Red rose aromas rise to the top but are quickly followed by more substantial tones of blackberry and ripe cherry. This is a mid-weight effort that is enhanced by finely tuned layers of spice and crushed stone. The wine needs a bit of time to open and put on volume, but once it does it sails forth with pride and purpose." - 93pts WA

2015  Barbaresco Rose delle Casasse

Barbaresco Rose delle Casasse ---- "The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Rose delle Casasse is one of the most distinctive wines in all of Piedmont. It emerges from a tiny parcel in Neive first planted in 1913 with the Rose clone of Nebbiolo known for its aromatic intensity, that is rarely seen these days. Deeply bright and perfumed, the 2015 offers up an exotic mélange of sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, spice, rose petal and kirsch. There's terrific depth and plenty of substance to wrap it all together. The 2015 spent four years in wood, a combination of small barrels and medium-sized casks. I wonder what this wine would like taste like if it was aged in more neutral oak, as there is a bit of oak tannin here. Even so, the 2015 is an exquisite wine and a Barbaresco of real character." - 96pts Vinous

2016  

"An open-knit but very precise expression in which the Nebbiolo grape is able to show its delicate nuances of wild cherry, rose hip, pressed violet and cola. The wine is silky and graceful. This Villero hits all the magic spots in the classic 2016 vintage. It should be exciting to chart its progression over time. 2023-2045." - 95+pts WA
