Eraldo Viberti 1995 750ml

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste 2018 Named after two of Luciano’s grandchildren, Alessia and Stefano, the Aleste vineyard perches on the side of the Cannubi Hill in the village of Barolo. The 2018... Barolo Aleste manages to be both succulent and restrained, layering its juicy cherries and red berries on a framework of sturdy, fine-grained tannins, and electric acidity. Spicy, subtly floral, and layered with licorice and earth, this Barolo shows terrific purity and verve — it’s a very impressive effort that’s only going to get better with time. Cellar for a few years and drink for decades.

One of our favorite things about Scavino is the price to quality ratio. While many of the older wineries – the big names that Scavino sits at the table with – command pricing beyond $150 per... bottle, the wines from this estate are definitely in a more affordable range. These are designed for all consumers thanks to the use of neutral French oak, which allows for early drinkability without the extra flavors. The result are wines that truly represent each vineyard and the Langhe terroir. Instead of waiting 20 years to drink them, you could start drinking them in as little as 2-3 years… very exciting!
