Thanks to producers like Marchesi Alfieri, Barbera wines from Piemonte have evolved favourably. This specialist of Barbera has crafted a rather intense rosso that bursts with ripe velvety flavours. Deeply coloured, good balance and quite flavourful, this remarkable red exudes ripe field berry scents with a hint of graphite. Great match with grilled veal or pork.

In 2017 the commune of Morgon had to deal with two damaging hail stroms. Fortunately some producers still managed to craft remarkable wines. This lovely cuvée from Foillard is obviously less opulent than the rich 2015, but still delivers the goods ! Superb nose displaying fruity/spicy aromas; this rather elegant red is fresh, perfectly balanced with good length. Some aging potential: 3 to 5 years. Perfect match with pork or veal fillets in a mustard sauce.

A supple, sexy, charming red, perfect for St-Valentine’s day ! This lovely Pinot displays hints of jammy red fruit (raspberry and cherry). Some residual sugar enhances the velvety round texture ; regardless this ripe Pinot remains balanced. You can almost taste the warm California sunshine. A great match with veal and mushrooms, it can also be enjoyed in the bath tub with your partner !

This lovely red was unanimously enjoyed by all my friends at the Super Bowl dinner party. Deeply coloured, the nose displays dark berry fruit and graghite scents. Well balanced with good length and intensity. A great example of this new trend of fine Douro reds. Very well priced, this amazing red should be served with pasta with Italian sausage and grilled red peppers. Enjoy !
