2017, the harvest from Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers (66%) Avize and Oiry (34%). Winter and Spring were exceptionally dry; the beginning of Spring was mild but, in April, destructive frosts ravaged the vineyards, especially in the Côte des Blancs. Temperatures then rose and the weather was good until July. The end of the growing season was hot but very wet. The...

For the 2018 harvest in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (68%), Avize and Oiry (32%), the previous winter was exceptionally rainy, this was followed by a mild, stormy spring. The weather changed from June onwards, becoming fine and dry, resulting in a particularly early harvest: we started picking on 30 August and finished on 11 September. The vines were in perfect...

The 2021 Chianti Classico Sonocosì is fresh and light in body, all of which make it a good choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. This north-facing site at 550 meters in altitude yields a lithe, aromatically expressive Classico loaded with character. Vinification and aging in oak keeps the flavors vibrant.

The Champagne Rosè Oeil de Pedrix is the result of an assemblage of Meunier and Chardonnay from old vineyards. Flowery Champagne Rosè Extra Brut, particularly fine and fresh with a very limited production.
Producer: Podere Poggio Scalette
The 2018 Il Carbonaione is one of the most elegant editions of this flagship wine I can remember tasting. Il Carbonaione is usually a rich, bombastic wine, but the 2018 is sleek, gracious and remarkably refined.
Producer: Podere Poggio Scalette
The 2019 Il Carbonaione is silky and racy in the glass. Scents of new oak are a clear sign the 2019 doesn't quite have the density of the very best years, but Il Carbonaione has a brilliant track record of aging.

The 2018 Barbaresco shows just how appealing this vintage can be. In 2018, the warm, dry growing season gave the Barbaresco an extra kick of richness that fills out its frame and adds so much immediacy. Sweet red berry fruit, cinnamon, rose petal and mint are open in the glass, but it is the wine’s seductive radiance that wins the day.

The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is powerful, intense and very much wound up. Then again, we are talking about Montefico. The 2015 is going to need at least a few years to be at its best.
Producer: Produttori del Barbaresco
The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico is one of the stand-outs in this range. It shows the piercing tannins typical of this site, and yet has more than enought fruit to balance those tannins. This exposed site benefits from cooling winds from the north.

The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is ample and resonant, the Montestefano shows all the natural breadth that is so typical of this site. It is also one of the wines where the personality and style of the vineyard are very much in evidence.

Producer: Produttori del Barbaresco
Dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, menthol, licorice and a whole range of balsamic inflections grow as the Montestefano shows off its class. This profound Barbaresco will thrill for years to come.
Producer: Produttori del Barbaresco
The 2017 Montestefano is a pontent, savory wine. Today, the fruit is very much in the background. A brooding, backward Barbaresco, the Montestefano clearly needs time, it is a somber, imposing Barbaresco. Dark plum, earthiness, cloves, menthol and licorice infuse the finish with notable gravitas.

Barbaresco Riserva Muncagotta 2015 ideally is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Note the new spelling for this wine, which reflects the updated vineyard designations, the Muncagotta is the new name for the wine previously known as Moccagatta.
Producer: Produttori del Barbaresco
The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota is an inspiring wine. Rich, deep and super-expressive, the 2016 hits all the right notes. The Muncagota is another wine in this range that clearly needs time.
Producer: Produttori del Barbaresco
The 2017 Barbaresco Muncagota is one of the lighter wines in this range. Floral and medium in body, the 2017 gives the impression of a wine that will open earlier than some of th eothers. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry, mint and white pepper linger.
Producer: Produttori del Barbaresco
The 2015 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello shows the energy and tension that are so typical of this site. This is an especially heady, exotic Ovello Barbaresco that needs to shed some baby fat, its considerable appeal today notwithstanding.
