Here’s a fun and approachable wine to pair with roast chicken or other white meats. The 2018 Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo Neb embraces an easy approach, with just enough red currant and tart cherry to accompany your home-cooked recipe. The mouthfeel is thin, simple and streamlined. -Monica Larner

The Torraccia del Piantavigna 2015 Ghemme (made with a blend of 90% Nebbiolo and 10% Vespolina) takes you on a terrific aromatic ride that starts off with an immediate hit of mint or medicinal herb and then veers toward wild berry, rose and pressed violet. That sudden transition between those two sides gives a jolt of energy to the wine. The wine is smooth and silky in terms of mouthfeel, with just enough tannic backbone to hold everything together for the long haul. -Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jul 2020
