Cantina Gaffino

2019 Rosso 'Roma'

90

This Montepulciano Rosso offers up notes of cocoa powder and a cherry-liqueur middle. Plum bitters, soy sauce, and herbal notes give it a savory quality, while grippy tannins and high acidity further add to its character.

Palladino

2016 Barolo Riserva 'San Bernardo'

95

Within a bold, fleshy, and dense frame, clove-spiced red tea, antique rose, and pennyroyal leave a trace of iron on the tongue. Balanced, well developed, and elegant.

2022 Bardolino Classico

A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara with a soft touch, this youthful red offers spiced cranberry and chalky minerality. Light in color and body yet savory, with notes of red licorice entwined with rooibos tea.

Palladino

2013 Barolo Riserva 'San Bernardo'

Balsamic, persimmon, and dusty rose petal invigorate the palate. Damp earth and pomegranate-cherry liqueur are super ripe and savory, enveloped in focused acidity. This superb red finished with cigar leaf, aged cheese, and white pepper.

Palladino

2022 Moscato d'Asti

93

This semi-sweet, spritzy white is a textural delight. With tangerine blossom and fresh apricot, its aromatics are matched by its extroverted, fresh flavor and fine acidity.
