White Or Alba Truffles

Red · Full · Dry

Barolo's slightly softer sibling — same Nebbiolo grape, lighter touch, ready to drink younger. Elegance over power, with a perfume of violets and a long, savory finish.

Red · Medium · Dry

Piedmont's everyday red and Italy's secret food wine — high acid, low tannins, juicy red cherry, and a touch of earth. Pairs effortlessly with anything red-sauce.

Red · Full · Dry

Nebbiolo from a single corner of Piedmont, slow-aged into something legendary. Tar and roses, dried cherry, leather; tannins that take a decade to soften. Decant; pair with truffle, braise, or aged hard cheese.

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

Puligny's slightly riper twin — same DNA, a touch more flesh, often a fraction less expensive. The Burgundian sweet spot.

Hermitage's affordable shadow — Northern Rhône Syrah grown on the flat lands below the great hill. Bright, peppery, food-friendly; drinks well young.

The Northern Rhône's grandest red — pure Syrah from a single granite hillside, age-worthy for decades. Black olive, smoked meat, violet, and a tannic spine that demands time.

Burgundy's most generous white — rich, buttery, full of stone fruit and toasted nut. The Chardonnay you reach for when Chablis feels too austere.

Red · Medium · Dry

The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco — pale ruby in the glass but ferocious on the palate. Rose, tar, dried cherry, and tannins that need time. Old-school greatness.

The most precise Chardonnay in the world — chiseled, mineral, citrus-driven, with a finish that goes on forever. The Premier and Grand Crus are a rite of passage.

The Northern Rhône's only sparkling appellation — Marsanne and Roussanne traditional-method bubbles, plus serious dry still whites.

Northern Rhône Syrah from the right bank of the river — lighter and more aromatic than Hermitage, all raspberry, violet, and white pepper. Ready to drink within a few years.
