2022 Guido Porro Barbera d’Alba “Vigna Santa Caterina”
The 40-year old vines for this Barbera sit in a privileged Barolo site, so there is no shortage of pedigree here. It’s a head-turning everyday pizza wine that makes you feel like you got a good deal. We love those wines. It’s also something you want to have on hand for a dinner party – and if you aren’t having pizza, enjoy it with chicken parmigiana.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvest, family-owned, native yeast fermentation, unfiltered and total production is only 3,750 cases annually (across 7 different wines).

Unlike traditional reds aged in heavy oak, this bottle is designed around purity and maximum fruit retention. Bracingly crisp, it features high acidity and very soft, gentle tannins, giving it a light-bodied, almost crunchy texture on the palate.
Best served with a slight chill (around 55°F) to emphasize its refreshing, lively fruit.
Certified sustainable; Ambient yeast fermentation; Fermented and aged in stainless steel.

$44.00The 2023 Piero Busso Langhe Nebbiolo is a youthful, expressive red wine from Piedmont, Italy, crafted from younger vines (aged 10–25 years) sourced primarily from the estate’s prestigious Barbaresco vineyards in Neive. It is designed as an approachable, early-drinking version of the winery’s more complex Barbarescos. Harmonious and balanced with fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity.
Fermented with native yeasts and aged in large old botti (oak casks) for several months to preserve its purity and aromatic fragrance.
