Monchiero Carbone 2007 Printi Riserva Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
- $47
One of our favorite Roeros of the 2007 vintage, Printi Riserva offers dark color and concentration with dense pulp and extraction. The full-bodied style is reinforced by aromas of mature fruit, black cherry and spice.

Monchiero Carbone 2008 Sru Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
There’s a grittiness or tightness of texture here that recalls carob or dried prune. This quality makes for an interesting, food-friendly red that is further colored by tones of chocolate, leather and pipe tobacco. Pulpy, dark concentration is backed by drying tannins.

Monchiero Carbone 2006 Printi Riserva Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
This Roero Riserva boasts a light, elegant appearance with defined aromas of citrus zest, pressed flowers and wild blueberries. The tight, drying tannins would pair well with aged cheese or creamy sauces.

Monchiero Carbone 1996 Mon Birone Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $20
Gamy, even barnyardy, aromas. But in the mouth, cherries come up to support the animal notes. If you like the idiosyncrasies of red Burgundy (odd, stinky aromas and flavors best described as “earthy”), this may be right up your alley.

Monchiero Carbone 2007 Sru Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
Here’s a Nebbiolo-based Roero with dark concentration and rich aromas of spice, blackberry, earth and loads of perfumed church incense. It’s prickly fresh in the mouth with a bitter, tannic close.
