Sgarzon, at a higher altitude than Morei, gives a leaner and prettier expression of Teroldego, and Foradori likes to highlight the contrasting styles with separate bottlings after they receive the same winemaking process and amphora aging.
Rarely do you find a winemaker so dedicated to resurrecting a single grape varietal as Foradori is with Teroldego. This wine gives a pure vision of one of Italy's great Alpine red grapes from a blended selection of her vineyards. Amazing steak wine!
Cornelissen's classic and expressive Nerello Mascalese is pure Etna: ripe red fruit with strong tannins and earthy volcanic aromas. This is a great wine to lay down for a few years while you drink your Susucarus.

Intense Red wine from the slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna. Nerello Mascalese grapes showing leather, tar, roses, and black fruit aromas in this light-coloured wine that packs a punch.
La Stoppa's aged in barrel blend of Barbara and Bonarda, from their oldest vines, with potting soil and leather aromas. The long maceration in this wine gives high tannins that beg for earthy, rich, fatty foods.
The folks at Le Piane call this a good door-opener to their wines, and we couldn't agree more. Floral and fruity notes linger pleasantly on the palate and make for solid pairing potential. Majority Nebbiolo, and an affordable way to imbibe that noble grape.
Noah's Bramaterra is a great example of Alto Piemonte's potential to step out of Barolo and Barbaresco's shadow. This selection of Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Vespolina spends two years in barrel and another year in bottle before release and is beautifully perfumed and complex.
