Barolo Chinatto

Nebbiolo grapes comes from the historic Bussia cru north of Monforte d'Alba. The Fantinos are blessed with some of the oldest vines in the Barolo area; all their vines were planted in 1946 and 1947 by Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino. Barolo wine is used for the base, with the addition of herbs and roots of plants, including Cinchona bark (quinine) which is where the Chinato gets its name. The herb sources remain a family secret. This is an aromatized wine, complex and herbal with a long finish. It is the ideal digestivo after a heavy meal.

Ar.Pe.Pe., Inferno Sesto Canto 2009

$125.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

In conversation with Italian winemakers, or vignaoioli if you will, Arpepe is arguably the best of the best. Wine publications don’t seem to disagree; the awards are countless. No wonder, given the amount of work and care that must go into the vines, grown on precariously-stacked terraces on the slopes of Valtellina, two hours north of Milan toward the Swiss border. Here, at these heights, Nebbiolo is known by another name, Chiavennasca. It grows in villages that might bring to mind Rosemary’s Baby – Sassella, Grumello, Inferno! The high-altitude, cool weather climate transforms the grape into something quite different than what you might find in neighboring Piemonte. While Barolo may be king, Valtellina is a wizard.

2009 was the first vintage for this wine. Inferno is the name of the Valtellina subzone from which it hails. While knows the technical reasoning why the area is named after “hell,” it is suggested that the slopes where the vines reside become noticeably hotter than other areas in the valley. Maceration of the grapes takes place over 70 days. The wine ages for 39 months in casks and then rests for another three years in bottle before it is finally released. Just 500 cases were produced.

This is the Barolo lover’s secret which still somehow is flying under the radar. Proprietor Luigi Scavino runs the show, and also happens to be cousin to Enrico of Paulo Scavino. Luigi takes pride in staying with tradition while also taking great care of vineyard management. San Rocco is one of the crus they use in their wines; they were the first to establish this particular vineyard as a single cru. While still flying under the radar, Azelia can still hold its own in a region of greats.

This may have the classification of a Langhe Nebbiolo, it hits far above its designation level with qualifications closer to that of a Barolo. The Nebbiolo fruit all comes from Barolo vineyards in Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d' Alba.The vines are 20-25 years old from relatively old vines.

Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Asili 2017

$235.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

Of the great Piedmont producers, Bruno Giacosa is among the elite, if not the best. With vineyards in both Barbaresco and Barolo, he has had his hands in two distinct appellations devoted to Nebbiolo. As with many brilliant minds, the brilliance is contained within the mind of the genius; this could not be more true for Bruno. His career lasted from 1968 until his untimely death in 2018. He created an infinite number of famous wines during this time. For a region dominated by a lengthy history of male winemakers, the Giacosa legend continues with the pleasant turn of his daughter, Bruna, taking over the domain. These are very much allocated wines, representing some of the last vintages that he would have had his hands on before he passed.

The Asili bottle is a single cru Barbaresco that Bruno began bottling back in 1967, yet it was the only cru that was made more than once of all his wines. With the rise of estate bottlings in the 1990s, Bruno opted to purchase some vineyards from Asili instead of relying on purchased fruit. Asili is associated with being one of the most prized vineyard sites in Barbaresco, in addition with its ties to the Giacosa name.

This style of Nebbiolo is the somewhat friendlier version of Barolo. The vines are 23-30 years old from various villages around Alba. The fermentation takes place in steel while the ageing takes place for 14 months in French oak barrels. This is a Nebbiolo that can be consumed immediately or aged for a couple more years.

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo "Gramolere" 2016

$85.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

Fratelli Alessandria is one of the stars of Verduno. The Alessandria family – owner Gian Battista, his wife Flavia, brother Alessandro, and son Vittore – lovingly produce a robust range of Piedmont specialty wines from start to finish. The farmer of the group, Gian’s philosophy is “the best wine comes from a great vineyard.” Located in the town of Verduno, in the commune of Barolo, the property has operated as a winery since the early 19th century. The wines were winning prizes as early as 1843. The original Alessandria brothers (fratelli) purchased the property in 1870. There is a deep understanding of how to work the vines in the marl soils they call “Sant’Agata,” a mixture of silt, limestone and sand. The Alessandria family first released their wine in 1978. Their style has always been classic, along with the grapes of the region; they never shifted towards a modernist hand.

While most of the domain's vineyards are located in Verduno, the Gramolere cru is located in the neighboring Monforte d’Alba. It’s a different expression of Barolo than expected from Fratelli Alessandria; a wine of structure and character.

The wine undergoes three years in Slavonian oak, two months in steel, and finally six months in bottle. We were fortunate to have visited this vineyard during harvest season several years back.

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo 2016

$68.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

Fratelli Alessandria is one of the stars of Verduno. The Alessandria family – owner Gian Battista, his wife Flavia, brother Alessandro, and son Vittore – lovingly produce a robust range of Piedmont specialty wines from start to finish. The farmer of the group, Gian’s philosophy is “the best wine comes from a great vineyard.” Located in the town of Verduno, in the commune of Barolo, the property has operated as a winery since the early 19th century. The wines were winning prizes as early as 1843. The original Alessandria brothers (fratelli) purchased the property in 1870. There is a deep understanding of how to work the vines in the marl soils they call “Sant’Agata,” a mixture of silt, limestone and sand. The Alessandria family first released their wine in 1978. Their style has always been classic, along with the grapes of the region; they never shifted towards a modernist hand.

This Barolo showcases the harmony of the blending style that is classic to the region. Today’s Baroli are more often made into a cru style, this bottle is a blend of several vineyards from Monforte d’Alba and Verduno. It is aged and cellared in the winery’s standard way: three years in Slavonian oak, two months in steel, and six months in bottle.

G.D. Vajra, Barolo Albe 2016

$50.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vajra, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne. The family is hard-working, passionate, and caring. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past. The family is longtime friends of Hart & Cru. They continue to uphold their passion for quality wine and the people who surround them.

Albe is an ode to the traditional Barolo, which was always blended from different vineyards. Its name Albe refers to the sunrise, indicating the three separate sunrises that take place over each vineyard with its unique sun exposure and elevation. Albe is aged in large Slavonian oak casks for 30 months and blended before its bottling.

G.D. Vajra, Barolo Coste di Rose 2016

$80.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vajra, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne. The family is hard-working, passionate, and caring. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past. The family is longtime friends of Hart & Cru. They continue to uphold their passion for quality wine and the people who surround them.

Coste di Rose is a Barolo MGA, aka a place of delineation without quite being as specific as a single vineyard. It is located on a steep slope of unique soil composition based on sand. The wines ages for roughly 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks.

G.D. Vajra, Barolo Ravera 2014

$90.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vaira, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. The spelling of the family name (Vaira) is different from the label (Vajra) for this reason: in 1918 the “j” was eliminated from most Italian words, so the Vaira family changed their spelling. However, the design of the wine label looked like a “j” so they kept the original spelling for the winery. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne.

The Ravera vineyard has the task as the most important vineyard in the commune of Novello. The elevation there is relatively high at 320 to 340 meters in elevation with ancient soils of sandstone and clay. The wine is aged in large Slavonian oak casks for 26-34 months before bottling.

G.D. Vajra, Langhe Nebbiolo 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vajra, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather.

The family is longtime friends of Hart & Cru. They continue to uphold their passion for quality wine and the people who surround them.

Though the Langhe Nebbiolo has a similar journey to the Baroli wines, the outcome is intentionally different. Coming from younger vines, the wine undergoes a long, gentle maceration period. The wine will age for 8-14 months in stainless steel to retain the pure fruit and generous aromatics; it will age in neutral oak only when needed. This bottle can be drunk immediately or cellar if desired.

G.D. Vajra, Langhe Nebbiolo Clare J.C. 2020

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vajra, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather.

The family is longtime friends of Hart & Cru. They continue to uphold their passion for quality wine and the people who surround them.

The story of Claré J.C. has unexpected roots from a quote made by Thomas Jefferson. While he was ambassador to France in the 1780s, he spent time in northern Italy. In regards to Nebbiolo, he said, “dry as a claret, sweet and lingering as a Madeira and brisk as a Champagne.” Claret refers to the name for Bordeaux at the time, but the name couldn’t be used due to Bordeaux’s trademark. The style Jefferson would have tried was Chiaretto, a light red from Lake Guarda; because Chiaretto is now protected as an appellation , the wine couldn’t take this name either. In the end, the wine was named Claré as a nod to the style it was named for. The ‘J’ refers to Jefferson and the ‘C’ refers to G.B. Croce—a winemaker from the 17th century who wrote a book outlining winemaking techniques in Piedmont. As you can see, this bottle takes inspiration from the past; it is focused on the winemaking technique versus terroir, a different yet successful interpretation from the Vajra family.

This Langhe Rosso is a mainstay of the Vajra family. It may be their flagship bottle as it is not only food friendly, but approachable to the masses and incredible value.

G.D. Vajra, N.S. Della Neve, Extra Brut, Metodo Classico Rosato NV

$38.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir

The G.D. Vajra winery was created in 1972 by Aldo and Milena Vaira, initially from vineyards planted by Aldo’s father in 1947. The winery was named for Aldo’s father, Giuseppe Domenico Vajra, because at the time Aldo was not old enough to establish the winery in his own name. Today the family has 40 hectares under vine in Barolo and other surrounding appellations. Their prized holdings in Bricco delle Viole were planted in 1949 by Aldo’s grandfather. Milena and Aldo’s three children – Giuseppe, Francesca, and Isidoro – are all involved in the family winery operation situated in the village of Vergne. The family is hard-working, passionate, and caring. Their focus is on building something for their children, caring about the community, and cementing the stories of the regions’ past. The family is longtime friends of Hart & Cru. They continue to uphold their passion for quality wine and the people who surround them.

The story behind the wine began with Thomas Jefferson when he was French ambassador and often traveled to Piedmont. During his visits, he drank Nebbiolo and proclaimed that it was as brisk as Champagne. The Vajra family later challenged this statement by making a wine with both Nebbiolo and the Champagne grape, Pinot Noir, as its blend. This bottle gets its name from the chapel that sits on the slopes of the vineyards: “Nostra Signora Della Neve” which means "Our Lady of the Snow" referring to the barren soil which still produces beautiful fruit from this site.

Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo Monprivato 2014

$200.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

The last of the great Barolo generation is Mauro Mascarello who took over for his father, Guiseppe. He has been making incredible wine since the late 1960s. Not only does Mauro continue the family’s tradition of excellence, he also brought about incredible changes. Monprivato, the family’s vineyard from which they had been sourcing and blending with fruit from other Barolo sites, changed after 1970. Mauro opted to bottle the wine as a single vineyard site. He realized the potential for Monprivato as a wine that could shine on its own with perfume and richness. It has been one of the most consistently magical wines coming out of the Langhe region.

Monprivato is Mascarello's flagship wine from the famed vineyard of the same name in Castiglione Falletto. The grapes are harvested in mid-October, as is standard for the region. The wine undergoes a lengthy maceration and spends about thirty months in Slavonian oak barrels. This is a dream bottle for cellaring, and can easily mature for another 15-25 years before enjoying.

Le Piane, Maggiorina Boca Vino Rosso 2019

$23.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Vespolina

The vineyards of Le Piane hail from Boca, the highest elevation area of Piedmonte. After a lengthy period of beautiful vineyards that had been abandoned after a period of heavy industrialization in the urban areas, they were finally rescued. Friends Christoph and Alexander fell in love with the property of Le Piane which included vines, barrels still filled with wine, and a dilapidated building. The last moving piece was convincing Antonio Cerri, an older winemaker, who also happened to be one of the last standing in the Boca area. It took them ten years, but Christoph and Alexander were able to convince Antonio that they would continue to honor the ancient winemaking traditions of the whimsical mountains of Piedmont. Alexander was sadly killed in 1998, but Christoph and his team carry on the dream today.

Alexander was sadly killed in 1998, but Christoph and his team carry on the dream today.

“Mimmo” is dedicated to a friend of Le Piane from Boca who collaborated with the winery for many years, improving their quality standards of the vineyards. The wine is best defined as “Little Boca.” The slightly less structured and riper parcels of Nebbiolo and Vespolina are blended with Croatina, creating a wine lighter than traditional Boca.

Luigi Baudana, Barolo Baudana 2015

$100.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

Arriving at Luigi Baudana is akin to entering the garage or basement of an old house in a sleepy European village. It’s shouldered up against the house next door, just down a short driveway and behind an old iron gate. Upon entering, it becomes immediately apparent just how small-scale this venture really is and the scarcity of the wines suddenly makes total sense. Luigi Baudana is one of the last of the old guard producers in Serralunga, Barolo. As Luigi and his wife Fiorina started slowing down, they began to look for a steward for both their vineyard sites (Baudana and Cerretta) as well as their existing wines. Giuseppe Vajra of G.D. Vajra was a natural choice, with an acute understanding towards preserving the soul of these great wines. Giuseppe is now the guardian of Luigi’s cumulative vision, but will also function as the catalyst to propel the vineyards forward, maintaining the highest standards of Barolo.

This Barolo brings the art of blending, drawing from vineyards located in Serralunga, a commune within Barolo. The Nebbiolo vines are 20-30 years in age, expressing the terroir of this village.

Luigi Pira, Barolo Serralunga 2016

$46.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

While the Luigi Pira estate has been producing wine since the 1950s, they sold the grapes up until 1993. They began cellaring and ageing their own wines shortly thereafter. The family owns 12 hectares of vines with holdings in Serralunga d’Alba’s best vineyard sites. Giampaolo is the head of the second generation of winemaking, where he oversees the cellar, while his father, Luigi, and brother, Romolo, care for their vineyards. They take special care in farming, using only natural products. Within the cellar, minimum doses of sulphur are used only when necessary. The family continues to receive worldwide attention from prestigious press.

This Nebbiolo comes from four different vineyards within the commune of Serralunga d’Alba in Barolo. While this is by no means a single vineyard Barolo, it still shows a definite sense of place. The vines range from 20-60 years old. The wine spends 24 months in small oak casks before release. About 1000 cases are produced each year.
