Monte Bernardi, Fiasco! Barbera 2019

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Barbera d'Alba

The Monte Bernardi estate dates back to 1085. The property’s vineyards are situated in the hilly, southern-most region of Panzano, an area that has been acknowledged as one of the “Grand Cru” of Chianti Classico. Most of the vineyards are more than 40 years old. Before 1992, when the first wines were produced, the grapes were sold to neighboring farms. The Schmelzer family, originally from Michigan, purchased Monte Bernardi in 2003. As winemaker, Michael has invested “time, love and money in the vineyards, the winery and villa” (www.montebernardi.com). The property was certified biodynamic in 2004.

This liter bottle is a celebration of Italy! It is a new style fashioning of the fiasco bottle, (remember those bottles in the straw basket?) The wine is a newer venture for Monte Bernardi as the Barbera fruit comes from the Alba zone of Piedmont. Since the liter bottle gives you an extra glass, enjoy over dinner with a group.

Giuseppe Mascarello, Toetto Langhe Freisa 2016

$45.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Freisa

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.

“Freisa” gets its name from the Latin word for strawberry, indicating its juicy red-fruited qualities with tannin and ageing potential like Nebbiolo. Freisa has gone in and out of fashion, likely due to its placement in sweet fizzy wines. This Freisa, especially with more cellaring, will shine just like the region’s other greats. From the Toetto vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, the wine ages in Slavonian oak barrels.

G.D. Vajra, Langhe Rosso 2019

$18.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, and other local red varieties

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.

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. The blend incorporates all the red varieties that Vajra does well while maintaining the identity of the Langhe region. Its ageing is just long enough in stainless steel and neutral oak to allow each variety to harmonize with the others.

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

This Barbera comes from two sites: Bricco delle Viole and Bricco Bertone. An old saying of the Barbera Superiore style by old farmers was, "a Barbera that behaves like a Barolo." This is due to its extensive ageing in Slavonian oak, usually 18 to 18 months and a few more months in bottle. This is a Barbera meant for ageing.

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo 2014

$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.

Vietti, Barolo Ravera 2017

$200.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

Even though the Vietti family has been making wine for four generations, the pivoting moment did not come until Luciana Vietti married the artist connoisseur and winemaker Alfredo Currado. Historically, Barolo wine was a volume wine, often using as much fruit as possible sourced from multiple vineyards. Alfredo was one of the first to make a Barolo cru wine—that is sourcing all the fruit from one vineyard. He was also responsible for the rediscovery of the Arneis variety, which was almost extinct. Alfredo and Luciana began traveling overseas in the 1960s and were one of the first wineries in that area to export to America. Their son and his wife, Luca and Elene Currado, continue to add more crus to the Vietti label, and now make several white and red wines each vintage.

Ravera is the name of this southwest facing vineyard in the Novello area of Barolo. The wine spends over a year on lees and aged for about 30 months in Slovenian oak. Vine age is average of 26 years with some planted in 1935.

Azelia, Langhe Nebbiolo 2018

$22.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nebbiolo

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.

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.

G.D. Vajra, Dolcetto d'Alba Coste & Fassati 2018

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Dolcetto

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 Vergen (planted in 1979) & Fossati (planted in 1985) are the names of the two vineyard sites where this Dolcetto hails. This wine is a firm example how the Vajra family continues their tradition of nurturing the best Dolcetto vineyards planted by Aldo Vajra. This is an elegant, yet sturdy wine that can age. Following the “no-recipe” recipe, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for seven months.

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.

Fratelli Alessandria, Dolcetto d'Alba 2020

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Dolcetto

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 easy-drinking Dolcetto comes from four different sites in the commune of Verduno, the northernmost part of Barolo. With an early harvest for the early ripening Dolcetto, the wine undergoes a short maceration time and just 5-7 months in stainless steel or cement, and 1-2 months in bottle before it is ready to enjoy. Drink this right away and with all sorts of food.

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.

Le Piane, Boca Vino Bianko 2019

Variety: Erbaluce

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.

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

This Bianco is made from the mysterious Erbaluce that’s native to Piedmonte. It is pronounced “urb-bah-lou-chay.” Due to appellation laws, the wine does not get to tout its variety on the label, but simply “Bianco.” It’s light-bodied and acid-driven. The wine has a short ageing process that takes place between amphora, cement, and acacia barrels.

G.D. Vajra, Dolcetto d'Alba 2019

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Dolcetto

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.

Historically, Dolcetto was given some of the best pieces of land, just above the Nebbiolo vineyards, where it is usually harvested first. The Vajra family continue to pay homage to the heritage of Piedmont by growing this variety. It is juicy and floral and ready for most occasions that involve food. Its ageing in stainless steel drives home its freshness.

Picollo Ernesto, Le Rive Gavi 2020

$13.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cortese

Gavi is the name of a small village in the Piedmont region. Often overshadowed by the Nebbiolo grape, Gavi really holds its own as the white wine favorite in the region. Coming from a village perched in the rolling hills of the Italian Alps, the climate here is uniquely Alpine like the north, but also Mediterranean where it soaks up sunshine and maritime breezes from the Ligurian Sea. When the northerly Piedmont folk go to Cinque Terre coast, they are sure to pick up some of this "beach wine" on their way to soak up the sun.

Outside of the village of Gavi, the Ernesto family farms 17 acres of exclusively Cortese, the variety used to make Gavi. They are now a third generation winery having been farming there since 1945. The Cortese grapes are all hand-harvested without usage of herbicides. All fermentation and ageing is done in stainless steel to keep the wines fresh and lively. It's a simple, clever wine that makes sense for many situations.

Agricola Elvio Tintero, Moscato d'Asti Sori Gramella 2020

$18.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Moscato

Way back in 1900, a Frenchman by the name of Pierre Tintero, found himself in Piedmont in the pursuit of work. He found work in the form of a struggling widow who needed help with her estate; Pierre became an asset to the estate, and ultimately, fell in love with the widow Rosina. Elvio Tinttero, for who the winery is named, began experimenting with the difficult process of frizzante wines in the 80s. Now on to the fourth generation, Marco and Cinzia are running the operations today. The focus of their winemaking is Moscato d’Asti, the slightly fizzy frizzante wine with a distinctive sweetness.

This is single vineyard Moscato d’Asti coming from 30 year old vines. There might not be another single Moscato d’Asti quite like this one; it has terroir and complexity. “Sori” is Piedmontese for a south-facing slope while Gramella is the name of the area in Asti that grows these Moscato grapes. Fermentation only begins when an order is received in order to maintain the freshest wine possible.

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 Freisa Kye 2016

$50.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Freisa

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.

Kye is a reference to the sun and moon, (as seen on the label), and additionally Freisa's wild personality. Freisa is a noble ancient variety of Piedmont and also one of the closest relatives of Nebbiolo. It has fought for a long time to keep its place among the other reds, though lately has seen a resurgence in planting. The wine spends 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks and is delicious with a gentle chill.

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo "San Lorenzo" 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.

San Lorenzo is a single cru of the commune of Verduno, where the Alessandria family estate dwells. The vineyard has a high altitude averaging 250 meters and vines average 25 years in age. The wine undergoes three years in Slavonian oak, two months in steel, and finally six months in bottle. The San Lorenzo is the epitome of floral tones and elegance.
