Cascina Roccalini 2008 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)

  1. $23
Crafted by vintner Paolo Veglio, this bright Barbera d’Alba shows evident oak tones of spice and tobacco surrounded by black fruit, plums and prunes. Those black fruit aromas do a very good job of balancing out the more austere oak influences.  — M.L.  (9/1/2010)

Cascina Roccalini 2007 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba Superiore)

  1. $35
This Barbera d’Alba Superiore shows elegance and sophistication with linear mineral notes of graphite and lead pencil as well as black fruit and cherry. This wine exhibits big freshness, loads of fruit and you don’t feel the 15% alcohol at all.  — M.L.  (9/1/2010)

Cascina Roccalini 2008 Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)

  1. $16
Here’s a decidedly uncomplicated expression of Dolcetto from vintner Paolo Veglio that plays its fruit and spice cards very well. You’ll get tones of blueberry, plum and wild berry, with a touch of cinnamon and clove at the end. The tannic structure is firm enough to contend with creamy cheese.  — M.L.  (9/1/2010)
