Piedmont - Red Wines
Single vineyards are the key at the moment in Barolo, expensive, but such resonant and powerful wines with a majestic style all of their own.
Azienda Agricola Michelle Recerdito
Another new addition, at a recent tasting we were bowled over by this small estate to the higher echelons of Barolo. They produce some outstanding single vineyard wines as well as some charming, but robust Barolo.
