Donna’s is an extraordinary achievement, walking a fine line between power and grace. An intoxicating bouquet of red and purple florals, and savory herbs permeate the glass with that iconic freshly cracked white peppercorn punch.

A medium ruby color, the 2022 Barolo Albe marks the 50th vintage of this cuvée. Aromas of fresh cherries, spice, and ripe orange peel lead into a medium-bodied palate with purity and polish. Already quite appealing, this is a wine I would happily order by the glass, and it should...

"Intriguing, tantalizing and desirable. Expectations turn into surprises of white pepper, black plum, potpourri and fresh pine needles.

A meaty wine with aromas of earth, peppermint, red currants, balsamic and licorice. Medium-bodied, it shows grace, ripe velvety tannins, chewy depth, refreshing acidity and an austere yet balanced finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

Block 4, the final remaining block of the original S.L.V. vines planted in 1972—now 51 years old and still producing fruit of remarkable character and depth. The standard 2023 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon has already garnered early critical acclaim with...

It is one of the vineyards with higher concentration of calcium in the soil that gives to the wine a powerful tannic structure. The extra heat of the South facing slope is responsible for the Montestefano full body and almost meaty texture. It is deep flavored wines with massive tannins,...
