Cascina Pugnane Barolo "Pugnane" 2018
This is the cru that ws famously hyped up by the late Giuseppe Rinaldi as one of his favorites, and it does not disappoint. Snappy and concentrated red fruits interlace with savory notes of sage, violet and dried rose. There is a structure to this that reminds us of young Rinaldi wines, so definitely get some meat on the grill or in the dutch over for a long braise! This is criminally inexpensive for the level of quality in the bottle.
Winemaker Tasting: Friday March 15th - Irene Carfagna of Altura!
Altura is the tiny two person operation of Irene and Francesco Carfagna on the windy and wild island of Giglio. Giglio is part of the Tuscan Archipelago that stretches between the island of Corsica and Tuscany. Inhabited since the Stone Age, wine production likely began with the Etruscans and certainly continued with the Roman Empire.
These are the types of wines for which we go absolutely crazy. Heroic agriculture with vines towering above the ocean on steep cliffs, ripe wines with that Mediterranean bite, salty and mineral rich wines, literal hand written labels, absolutely organic farming and very little intervention in the cellar. They are soulful and haunting, and just a couple of swirls of the glass will transport you to a place of salt and sun.
Francesco's daughter Irene will be generously joining us in the shop. You do not want to miss this one!
