Italy is home to an endless array of tasty, lesser-known varieties and one of our favorite Italian sleeper-grapes is a small red one from Piemonte known as Pelaverga. Since the 1870s, the Alessandrias have made their wines in Verduno focused on transcendent Barolis, but they take particular pride in their Pelavera, which they call Speziale, in reference to the gentle spicy notes the grape is known for.

The Albe is made in an entirely traditional fashion, with aging exclusively in large Slavonian casks. The cooler high-altitude sites ensure that the wine stays bright and nimble, and fun to drink even on release. This is especially true of the precocious 2018. Vintage-in-vintage out, we love the value and consistency of Vajra's real deal Barolo Albe and we think you will to.

Fred Savart is a favorite at Flatiron and we clamor to get as much of his wine as possible. So when we heard that he was working on a new project we jumped at the chance to grab as much as we could. We offered the rosé from this exciting new (ish) project a few weeks ago and it sold out in less than 24 hours so don't wait our run the risk of missing out, again.

The wines of Dominio del Aguila are just that. Bringing a fresh perspective to this renowned wine growing region, changing palates and minds in the process.
