Trediberri Barolo DOCG 2019

Trediberri

$60Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Trediberri represents a new generation of Barolo — respectful of tradition but willing to bottle with less extraction and shorter maceration, letting the vintage and vineyard define the wine. The 2019 is precise, energetic, and remarkably accessible for young Barolo without sacrificing any aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Lifted rose petal and tar — classic Barolo. Ripe cherry and a dusting of dried herbs follow, with a mineral, chalky undertone. There's a suggestion of cedar and dried orange peel that adds intrigue.

Palate

Elegant rather than massive, with bright cherry fruit wrapped in firm but fine-grained tannins. A streak of violet and earthy minerality runs through the mid-palate. The oak is restrained, allowing the Nebbiolo to speak clearly. Taut and structured but not austere.

Finish

Long and persistent, with cherry, rose, and a lingering mineral grip that invites another sip.

The Story

Founded in 2009 by Nicola Oberto and Federico Quarello, Trediberri farms just three hectares in La Morra, vinifying with large Slavonian oak botti and a light hand that lets the Berri vineyard's calcareous clay soils shape every bottle.

Bourgogne Rouge, Domaine de Montille

Domaine de Montille

Domaine de Montille's Bourgogne Rouge is a masterclass in what restraint can achieve at the regional level — no excess, no artifice, just transparent Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most principled estates. It embodies the theme of clarity through constraint: a wine that finds its beauty in what it withholds rather than what it offers. An essential benchmark for understanding why less, in Burgundy, is always more.

Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie

Calabretta

Calabretta's old-vine Nerello Mascalese is a masterclass in how air and altitude sculpt a wine—vineyards perched high on Etna's slopes channel wind and volcanic breath into the glass. This is traditional Etna winemaking at its most soulful: no shortcuts, no polish, just pure terroir captured by a family that has farmed the same contrada for generations. A hauntingly beautiful wine that rewards patience and contemplation.

Perrin Cotes du Rhone Reserve Rouge 2022

Perrin

The Perrin family's Réserve Rouge remains one of the Rhône's most reliable everyday reds, delivering genuine terroir character at a fraction of the cost of their Châteauneuf-du-Pape holdings. It captures the warmth of a late November harvest—generous, grounding, and quietly soulful. A wine that pairs as well with weeknight suppers as it does with the season's final fireside gatherings.

Domaine Gramenon Côtes du Rhône La Sagesse 2022

Domaine Gramenon

La Sagesse means 'wisdom,' and this bottling from very old Grenache vines is aptly named. Michèle Aubéry-Laurent farms biodynamically and vinifies with minimal intervention — native yeast, no added sulfur, no fining or filtration. This is transparency in a bottle: terroir, vine age, and vintage, nothing hidden.
