The Pasquero-Elia family has been making wine for several centuries, but the last few decades in particular have helped separate them from their competition as one of the absolute best in Piedmont. Parker’s Wine Advocate and Antonio Galloni have taken notice in a big way.
Galloni summed up their greatness in one sentence. “The Pasquero-Elia family has superb vineyards and already knew how to craft delicious wines, but the continued search for excellence and the willingness to invest in the future is what separates the true greats from the merely good and excellent producers.” Parker’s Wine Advocate added on, “The Pasquero-Elia family has made fabulous wines for years, but now they are in a position to challenge for one of the very top spots in Barbaresco.“ Their dedication and obsession with perfection makes them kinda like the Piedmont version of Alabama football. Every year, you can expect they’ll be great.
I am the first in New Jersey or New York to bring in the Paitin’s Barbera d’Alba Serra from the 2019 vintage. Maybe it’s because I’ve been selling their wines for two and a half decades, that probably helped.
Regardless, I’m excited to bring you this exclusive jet black, inky Barbera that folks are going to love. Already armed with a 92-point score from Parker’s Wine Advocate and a 91-point score from Vinous, this new release is already a hit.
The ‘Serra’ blend comes from the fresher, more delicate slope of the Serraboella. It’s richer and more opulent than most Barberas, especially for anywhere near the price. But the key is the freshness and balance of the wine that makes them so dang delicious. Parker says you’re left with the memory of the “pristine nature of its fruit”. When you’ve got some of the best fruit in the region with a superstar cast making the wine– you’re going to end up with some great juice.
That’s what you’ve got here.

92 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
You get tremendous value from the Paitin 2019 Barbera d’Alba Serra, which is fruity and bright but beautifully elegant as well. Barbera is known for its rich black fruit flavors and accessible personality, so it’s a real treat to taste a wine that puts so much emphasis on the smaller details offered by the grape. These include tart blueberry, white cherry, exotic spice and crushed stone. There is some softness on the close, but the wine will be remembered for the linear and pristine nature of its fruit.
91 Points, Antonio Galloni – Vinous
The 2019 Barbera d’Alba Serra is fresh, floral and fruity, all of which make it an excellent choice for drinking over the next handful of years. Short aging in cask really exalts the fruit in this translucent, classically built Barbera. Red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and orange peel linger.

With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
