The greatest expression of Nebbiolo is found in one of the world’s most exclusive and drop dead gorgeous regions, Barolo. In it, five core towns that make the Piedmonte region so special. There’s La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, Serralunga, Castiglione Falletto and Barolo itself. Some of the top wineries in the region are located in the small but precious Serralunga d’Alba where the unique soil type gives the wines even more agability than the others in Barolo.
With castles and wineries atop sweeping rolling hills, it’s the kind of place where if you got in early and knew what you were doing, your family is still reaping the benefits multiple generations later. That’s the case at Massolino, the star of Serralunga, where the work of Giovanni Massolino in the late 1800’s is still paying dividends today.
Elio Grasso once told me over dinner while we sipped on a bottle of Massolino Barolo, “I love my vineyards more than anything he said. But if I could trade vineyards with any producer in Barolo, it would be with Massolino.” There’s a great reason why.
Armed with three fabulous Cru vineyards, Margheria, Parafada, and Vigna Rionda, the former is considered by most to be the crown jewel vineyard of Serralunga. Together, the three vineyards are like the Spanish Armada, consistently producing some of the best Barolo in single-vineyard bottlings and blends like today’s.

The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
