Socré 2005 Roncaglie Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $39
Soft chocolate and supple berry aromas round off the sharpness you sometimes encounter in the most austere expressions of Piemontese winemaking. Socré (a newcomer winery) delivers a pleasantly plush and luscious Barbaresco with a velvety texture and a yielding personality. The wine is ready now and will appeal to New World tastes.  — M.L.  (4/1/2009)

Socré 2006 Nebbiolo (Langhe)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
Here’s a fun and slightly less formal expression of Nebbiolo (especially when compared to the great wines of Barbaresco and Barolo) that offers tight fruit nuances of white cherry and forest berry backed by light shadings of spice and smoke.  — M.L.  (9/1/2011)
