Attilio Ghisolfi 1997 Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- Best Buy
- $14
Handsome nose of dark cherry fruit, chocolate and toast. Rich and mouthfilling, with good fruit that is buttressed, but not overshadowed, by oak. Moderate acidity and tannins, but nothing harsh or off-putting. Layered fruit with chocolate and licorice on the long mouthwatering finish. Best Buy.

Attilio Ghisolfi 2005 Bricco Visette Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $80
Bold and rich by 2005 Barolo standards, Bricco Visette offers a bright embroidery of berry, spice, oak and tobacco aromas. Firm tannins support the wine at the back end and will help it age gracefully for the next ten years or more.

Here’s a red blend from Piedmont that opens with an inky-dark color and rich concentration. Aromas of Maraschino cherry, blueberry jam, spice and cinnamon complete an intense, albeit not particularly complex, picture.

Attilio Ghisolfi 1998 Bricco Visette Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $37
This large-scaled wine shows plenty of tannins to match its concentrated black cherry fruit. Complexity comes in the form of tobacco, earth, and understated cedar and vanilla notes. Try after 2010.

Attilio Ghisolfi 1995 Bricco Visette Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $42
Dense right from the start, with coffee, asphalt and black-cherry aromas. An earthy wine with a round palate full of chocolate and berry fruit, it’s power-packed in the mouth, where some drying tannins make their mark but don’t overwhelm. Has all the qualities of fine Barolo. Drink in three to five years.

Attilio Ghisolfi 2007 Nebbiolo (Langhe)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This lighthearted and fragrant expression of Nebbiolo opens with playful notes of cherry cola, blueberry and dusty mineral that give the wine backbone and staying power. Pair it with lamb or pork chops.

Attilio Ghisolfi 1996 Vigna Lisi Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $17
Cherry fruit dominates the bouquet, where only the lightest of oak plays a supporting role. A real classic cherry-chocolate wine that’s clean, well made, and easy to drink. A good medium-bodied Barbera to pour with dinner.
