The Tre Pile ‘Carlin’ is a fantastic, rock-solid Nebbiolo from the heart of Bussia (a cru Barolo vineyard site) made by the formidable Italian winemaker, Carlo Ghisolfi. Carlo locked into this site back in 1985, right as Barolos were becoming the highly prized commodities they’ve become today.
Here’s the best part: the ‘Carlin’ also blends Nebbiolo from a site that’s slightly higher elevation in Torricella. Because of this, it’s not bottled as a Barolo but instead as a Langhe Nebbiolo – not cheapening the quality of the final product at all, but definitely lowering the price tag!
Tre Pile’s vineyards are located right next to the famous Aldo Conterno vineyards. This is absolutely prime Piedmont territory. This wine was kind of the first of its kind in the region as nobody was aging Nebbiolo in Slovakian Oak before Carlo, and now it is the standard practice for a lot of these wines.
This has a little bit of everything. It’s big and beautiful but also wonderfully perfumed and structured with super refined tannins.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
Corzano e Paterno is an absolute oasis in the rolling hills of Chianti, a must visit if you go to Tuscany. The wine there is absolutely killer. The Corzanello 2006 is a gem – one from the back of the cellar that I took away many years ago. It’s a gorgeous blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon and even though it has aged gracefully for nearly two decades, it still has plenty of life. I’d drink it now or over the next 3-5 years.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
