2023 Azelia Dolcetto d’Alba ‘Bricco dell’Oriolo'
WAS:$43 | Clearance: $28 | 6 pack $25
Single-vineyard dolcetto from the Montelupo Albese region of Piedmont. Instead of a "lesser" site in Barolo (as many producers have) Azelia has the magnificently well-sited 2.1 hectare, south-facing, 600masl Bricco dell'Oriolo, a site that holds special familial value for winemaker Luigi Scavino and his mother. Bright and intense red fruits with a subtle floral character that lends interest to this incredibly drinkable wine. Silky but firm structure. Reeks of Piedmonte. Looks a little like Nebbiolo in it's tannic structure. This is the stuff they drink every day in Piedmonte. Drink now, drink soon and drink up! Randall

2021 Azelia Langhe Nebbiolo
WAS:$49 | Clearance: $39 | 6 Pack: $35
Brilliant, vibrant hue, with an inviting bouquet of violets and fresh florals. On the palate, it’s refreshingly juicy, bursting with the essence of red fruits—cherry, strawberry, and currant. The light body is complemented by elegant, fine tannins that lead into a long, fruit-forward finish.

This is an effortlessly drinkable wine, embodying the spirit of Langhe’s Barolo region, and a delightful introduction to Nebbiolo’s charm. Randall
