The 'Next Legends of Piedmont' 4-pack
If you love top-notch traditional Barolo (from legendary folks like Mascarello, Conterno, and Rinaldi) but it hurts too much to fork over the $$$$ those wines now command, then this 4-pack is for you.
These four hearty, winter-friendly reds will introduce you to two producers of extraordinary caliber whose wines are still (somewhat) reasonably priced. True Barolo aficionados will likely have heard of historic Cavallotto, but their wines haven’t been available in Georgia until relatively recently, so this is a good chance to get some of these bottles in your collection. And Poderi Colla is a spectacular boutique winery started by the family originally behind Prunotto that is focused on stellar, perfumed wines that’ll transport you straight to the Piemontese hills.

Langhe Freisa, Cavallotto, Piedmont, Italy, 2021
Freisa is a very old red grape native to the region that fell into obscurity as Nebbiolo became more popular over the centuries. However, it’s having a resurgence and it tends to satisfy similar appetites. Cavallotto’s Freisa from 2021 is a meaty, spicy version that has deep black cherry and game notes. It’s beautifully rustic and it will keep you warm at night.
Barbera d’Alba, Poderi Colla, ‘Costa Bruna’, Piedmont, Italy, 2020
A serious style of old-vine Barbera, this deep-flavored version of the grape is made to pop-and-pour at your dinner table with, say, a rabbit stew or mushroomy pasta. Expect it to taste like dark wildberries, soft red flowers, and minerals.
Barolo, Cavallotto, ‘Bricco Boschis’, Piedmont, Italy, 2019
If you are a Barolo fan, you probably know how incredible the 2016 vintage was and remember how quickly those wines disappeared because the hype was real. Well, the 2019s are coming out now, and it’s a very similar vintage. Don’t dally! Cavallotto’s Barolo is entirely from Bricco Boschis, the hallowed home vineyard cru of the winery in Castiglione Falletto, where Nebbiolo reaches its most elegant heights. This is beautiful and precise.
Barolo, Poderi Colla, ‘Bussia—Dardi le Rose’, Piedmont, Italy, 2018
One of the most powerful and storied vineyard areas in all of Barolo is the cru of Bussia in Monforte d’Alba. The Colla family’s vines are in one of its best sections, called the Dardi di Bussia. This is some impressive Barolo, showing muscular, dark fruit with accents of mint, dried rose petal, and truffles. Find a medium-rare rack of lamb and have yourself a feast.
