You’d have to know exactly where you were going to find the small commune of Sizzano in Piemonte. Though it’s hardly known outside of the region, it’s one of the oldest, most well-established DOCs in Italy. At altitudes much higher than those in Barolo, the Nebbiolo here is fruitier and more refreshing compared to the big, dense and often leathery Barolos. But the unique expression of Nebbiolo grown high up in Sizzano is no joke.
The most exciting winery out of Sizzano right now belongs to the husband and wife duo Daniele and Sonia at Villa Guelpa. The couple have defied the odds by making some of the most easy drinking, fruity and delicious red wines in Piemonte – the hard way. From the hand harvesting to the winemaking, perhaps hardest of all is raising six children!
With their tiny vineyard, the couple make miniscule quantities of wine but have recently begun importing a sliver of their production to the U.S. Ever since their wine arrived stateside, the cat has been out of the bag, with wine critics flocking to their fruity and approachable Nebbiolo, many preferring it to its much more brooding Barolo counterpart. The wines are a true high-toned treat– an exuberant playful expression.
A lofty 95-point Editors’ Choice designate from Wine Enthusiast is attached to this great wine, whose secret sauce is the cement tank fermentation it undergoes to preserve vibrancy and seductive red berry aromas.

Fragrant, delicious and loaded with finesse, this radiant red from Alto Piemonte has enticing aromas of woodland red berries, baking spice, rose and wild herbs. Focused and vibrant, the lithe palate has a pristine quality, featuring juicy red cherry, blood orange, white pepper and a note of star anise framed in lithe tannins. Bright acidity keeps it energized. Drink through 2025.

Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
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.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
