Complex, elegant and full of rich, dark cherry flavour. Il Poeta 2018 is an enchanting expression of the rose-scented Nebbiolo grape crafted to perfection by winemaker, Paolo, from vineyards around the prized village of Barbaresco.
It's rare to find a parcel of magnificent Barolo, the king of Piedmont, possibly of all Italy, with some of the ageing done. Two Golds, 95pts and two 93pts confirm this is top echelon. Already with mesmirising complexity, yet still young.
We are delighted to present this superb 9-year-old Barolo from winemaker Bruno Cordero. He runs the cellar at the Vite Colte winery, alongside a team of 180 growers, each one of them passionate about their few rows of vines and prized Nebbiolo grapes. No wonder they often win Tre Bicchieri (the top mark) from Gambero Rosso and other prizes from international competitions. All the grapes for Essenze come from Barolo's great Serralunga d'Alba, at 300 to 400 metres altitude. Unusually for Barolo, the wine's aged in small barriques, rather than the large traditional botte. 2013 was a top vintage here, with a cool growing season and a late harvest. The result has been structured wines that have aged magnificently. Drink now or cellar for years.

From a hot vintage which has surprised all with its intense, vivacious wines, this is a well-priced Barolo. Now four years old, has silky tannins supporting the cherry, plum, flower and spice notes.
Italy's king of reds, Barolo, doesn't come cheap, especially from a great vintage. All the more reason to leap on this special one-off parcel from prime vineyards in the Cerviano-Merli. Rich, dark chocolate and cherry fruit with silky tannins.
Piedmont's prized red is known for a demanding high price. However, when a winery (sorry we're forbidden to name to keep the price a competitive one for you) is keen to move a batch fast, it usually comes as a great deal, even when it's from such an applauded vintage. Antoni Galloni described it as "full of truly spectacular, breathtaking wines that capture all the pedigree of Barolo". The grapes are from the same hillsides as elite names, including the great Vajra, which worth HK$950 a bottle. Plus, this wine has received 90+ scores from both Robert Parker and James Suckling. It's a mesmerizing wine, long aged in barrel. Decant early to allow the dark chocolatey, cherry and violet notes to open.
