Ponchione Maurizio 2007 Monfrini Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $30
With 16 months of careful oak barrique aging, this opulent wine represents a new generation of Barbera d’Alba. It opens with a gorgeous appearance and thick aromas of black cherry, boysenberry, plum and sweet spice. It has dense, sweet tannins and offers a biting touch of astringency on the close that would pair with succulent cuts of meat.

Ponchione Maurizio 2006 Vigneto Pasau Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $25
Prominent oak tones of spice, leather and chocolate sit heavy over a broad base of dark, jammy fruit. This wine is executed in a big, bold style and would pair well with stews or game dishes. The acidic finish will cut though hearty meat recipes.

Ponchione Maurizio 2008 Monfrini Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
Roero Monfrini offers masculine and brawny aromas of leather, tobacco and dark spice. Dried fruit aromas are further enhanced by light nuances of tar and asphalt that are typical of the Nebbiolo grape. That astringency pops up on the finish.

Ponchione Maurizio 2007 Donia Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $18
Upfront and generous, this is a bright and food-friendly Barbera d’Alba. What it lacks in overall complexity and aromatic intensity, it makes up for in terms of freshness and fruity simplicity. You’ll love the dense concentration and fresh cherry flavors.
