Tenuta Rocca 2006 San Pietro Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $60
San Pietro is a beautifully perfumed Barolo with delicate tones of blue flowers, violets, licorice, crushed mineral, cola and forest berry. The floral nuances transfer to the mouth, adding to the wine’s overall persistency and complexity. Hold five more years.

Tenuta Rocca 2006 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $48
Founded in 1986, Tenuta Rocca is a hilltop property in Monforte d’Alba that overlooks some of the most beautiful landscapes in the Langhe. This wonderful Barolo opens with sweet smells of candle wax, nutmeg, ginger, chocolate and bright red fruit. The wine imparts a squeaky clean, polished feel in the mouth.

Tenuta Rocca 2000 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $59
The Tenuta boasts a mature gorgeous nose of plums, smoked meat, chocolate and road tar. The complexity comes through on the palate, but it is confined to the midpalate, leaving little for the finish. While the flavors seem fully mature, the structure is not; hence the slight disconnect on the palate.

Tenuta Rocca 2003 Ornati Red (Langhe)
- $28
Began with unpleasant swampy aromas, but they blew off, revealing dark fruit, spices and an earthiness that had nothing to do with the initial smells. As the wine opened up, it grew more interesting and ended up as quite an impressive wine, with pleasant flavors and good length.

- Online Exclusive
- $37
Ornati is a wonderful wine to pair with homemade tagliatelle and veal ragú or grilled pork sausages. This red blend from Piedmont has the succulence and acidity to pair with almost any meal and a natural intensity of fragrances that won’t easily be overwhelmed.

Tenuta Rocca 2004 Vigna Sorì Rocca Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
This modern-style Dolcetto has plenty of dark, jammy fruit, a chunky crowd-pleasing personality and enough structure underneath to give it longevity and length. A pleasant if nontraditional take on Dolcetto.

Here is a bright and chewy Barbera d’Alba with loads of ripe fruit and blackberry backed by thick density and bright freshness. This is the perfect wine to pair with homemade lasagna with cheese and sliced sausage.
