The 2018 Barolo Monvigliero is a fabulous wine, especially for a first release and in this tricky vintage. Intensely aromatic, lifted and ethereal, with striking complexity, the 2018 captures all of the essential signatures of this great Verduno site. Silky tannins give this weightless, wonderfully translucent Barolo a real feeling of finesse. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2022

Tightly wound and austere, with cherry and plum fruit wrapped up in the grip of dusty tannins. This is vibrant and gains finesse as it lingers on the fruit and savory aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2039. 1,650 cases made, 200 cases imported. –BS, Wine Spectator, Web 2022

The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is another terrific wine in this range from Einaudi. There is an effortless, gracious quality to the Cannubi that is impossible to miss. Expressive aromatics meld into a core of creamy, exquisitely layered Cannubi red-toned fruit. Sweet red cherry, red plum, rose petal, mint and blood orange emerge, but only with great reluctance. The 2018 is pretty closed right now, but that won’t be an issue in another few years’ time. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2022

The 2018 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi shows the wilder side of Nebbiolo in its virile, potent personality. The flavors are dark and mysterious. Dark cherry, dried flowers, lavender, asphalt, spice and scorched earth develop, adding to the wine’s decidedly somber personality. The Terlo is an intriguing wine that has a ton to offer.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2022

The 2018 Barolo La Serra is bright, focused and very nicely balanced. All of the energy of this La Morra cru comes through in a mid-weight, nervy Barolo that is full of character. Macerated cherry, spice, mint, blood orange and incense all run through this layered, super-classic Barolo from Marcarini. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2022

A ripe and fruity red, featuring black cherry, blackberry, violet and earth notes. Velvety in texture, with terrific harmony and a lingering aftertaste of dark fruit and spice. Drink now through 2025. 10,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.” —B.S. Wine Spectator, Feb. 2022

Cellar Selection. This perfumed wine opens with layers of scents, including violet, woodland berries, new leather, forest floor and warm spices. Smooth and elegantly structured, the savory palate boasts juicy black-skinned berry, blood orange, licorice, tobacco and the barest hint of coffee bean alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced. Drink 2026–2046.

Extremely elegant and focused, this compelling wine defies the heat of the vintage, starting with a heady fragrance of ripe dark-skinned berries, violet, camphor, dark spice and whiffs of crushed herbs. On the linear, elegantly structured palate, tightly woven but extremely polished tannins accompany juicy Marasca cherry, blood orange, licorice and white pepper while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and fresh. Drink 2025–2032.

Delicious and bone-dry, this radiant sparkler has delicate, enticing scents of yellow spring flowers, white stone fruit, hay and brioche. Made with 100% Chardonnay, the elegantly structured palate features creamy yellow apple, ripe pear, lemon zest and hazelnut alongside crisp acidity and silky perlage. It closes on an almost salty note.
