Bright garnet red to the core without any browning or orang edges as Nebbiolo tends to show with some age.
The nose was floral, red berries, fresh, anise. Smells of big burgundy.
On the palate it was smooth juicy fruit, some wood tannins, but soft and delicately packed on top of vibrant acidity. I absolutely loved this wine! Its absolutely ready to be enjoyed.

Blanc de noirs. Light oxidative style. Oak, brioche, big structure with refined acidity.
Like a mini Krug. This was one of the best surprises for me at the tasting. The 2008 still has a long way to go, but it was absolutely magical on the night.

I’ve been looking through your cellar on Cellar Tracker and noticed you have some fantastic wines, including François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur - have you considered joining Antica Terra’s Collective?
We offer hard-to-find wines to exclusive members, curating rare bottles for sophisticated buyers. The enrollment window is about to open for a limited number of new members - I think you would be a great fit, so I wanted to tell you more.
Here’s how it works; our founder and winemaker, Maggie, selects a bottle for you each month and twice a year you’ll receive 6 or 12 bottles delivered to your door with the option of a selection of sparkling, white, rosé and red wines, or a selection of exclusively red wines.
A few treasures tucked into the founding members’ spring boxes include a 2011 Marguet Pere & Fils 'Sapience' Premier Cru, Extra-Brut, Champagne, and a 2002 Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling, Wachau.
If this is of interest to you, shall we set up a time to discuss? Or happy for you to email me directly at daniel@anticaterra.com
Best,
Daniel (Antica Terra)

This Roagna performed perfectly on the night.
Bright garnet red to the core without any browning or orang edges as Nebbiolo tends to show with some age.
The nose was floral, red berries, fresh, anise. Smells of big burgundy.
On the palate it was smooth juicy fruit, some wood tannins, but soft and delicately packed on top of vibrant acidity.
I absolutely loved this wine! Its absolutely ready to be enjoyed.

2015 Elio Altare Barolo Vigna Bricco Riserva Cerretta

Dark and red fruit on the nose. Mushroom and forrest floor.
On the palate you get a lot of juicy fruit. Cherries, raspberry and plum. Soft and delicate tannins. Very balanced and wonderful acidity.
Perfectly in balance. Surprising for such a young Riserva. Drinks wonderfully now!
