Duchessa Lia 2004 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Dense and weighty, with an unusual collection of aromas and flavors, including cotton candy, mushroom and watermelon on the nose, followed by cinnamon on the palate. Long, spicy finish. the massive tannin structure suggests this wine needs time to show its best; drink 2015+.

Duchessa Lia 2011 Moscato (Moscato d'Asti)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
This sweet sparkling wine shows a steady, creamy texture with tangerine mousse, wild flower, honey, peach blossom and soapy foam. The long sweet finish would match well with baked apricot pie.

Duchessa Lia 2008 Moscato (Moscato d'Asti)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Quite sweet, but with good concentration and balancing acidity that make for a refreshing impression. Lovely grape and honeysuckle flavors unfold on the palate, giving way to a medium finish with a fresh citrus tang. No improvement with age.

Duchessa Lia 2007 Barbera (Barbera d'Asti)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Crisp and light on its feet, this easy-drinker serves up exotic aromas of ginger backed by raspberry jam, tobacco and strawberry liqueur flavors that show just a bit of persistence. Very impressive for the price. With nonexistent tannin, this wine would be a perfect choice for pizza night.

Duchessa Lia NV Spumante Dolce Brachetto (Brachetto d'Acqui)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A more serious Brachetto than many, with raspberry, tangerine, and peach fruit balancing the noticeable sweetness. There’s nothing like a crimson sparkling wine to get your guests talking; serve this one to them with quail in a fruit sauce. Drink as young as possible.

Duchessa Lia NV Brachetto (Brachetto d'Acqui)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
A rosé-colored sweet sparkling wine, this should pair with fruit-based desserts or salty foods like sliced salami appetizers. Bright raspberry, bitter almond and cranberry aromas describe the bouquet. It’s a simple wine with a whiff of volatility on the finish.
