The unyielding tannins of young Nebbiolo from Barolo typically require long aging to settle down, but grown further north in Sizzano and blended with rare Vespolina grapes, the variety gives more inviting wines for earlier enjoyment. Villa Guelpa champions the style as tasted in their 2019 vintage, a fragrant red defined by mouth-watering cherry, rose petal, delicate spice, and tar-like mineral notes. Slightly chilled, this 95-point Piedmont cellar defender will elevate any charcuterie board, so pluck up your share at 54% off!

A blend of 70% Nebbiolo and 30% Vespolina, this radiant, elegant red has enticing scents of perfumed berry, wild rose, crushed fennel seed and botanical herbs. Savory and all about finesse, the precise palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, orange zest, white pepper and star anise set against taut, polished tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and vibrant. Drink through 2029.
