9.1

The 2023 Kerner is delicately floral in the glass. Sweet spice and candied lime open in the bouquet. Vibrant acidity, saline minerals and tart citrus add a zesty character throughout. The 2023 reverberates with tension through a long, cheek-puckering finale laced with chamomile and lemon zest. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2024) — a day ago

Sweet herbs, tobacco and black olive give way to mentholated blackberry as the 2022 Primitivo Porcospino opens in the glass. Creamy and round, with balancing acidity and depths of ripe dark fruit, the 2022 finishes long and pleasantly chewy with a bitter twang and tart wild berry thrust. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous March 2024) — a month ago

Le Piane’s 2022 Nebbiolo is a rich, heady wine, but it has found a way to maintain freshness and verve. It’s a big wine for sure, yet all the elements are so well balanced. Sweet red/purplish fruit, orange peel, mint and crushed flowers linger on the deep, satisfying finish. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024) — 2 months ago

The 2022 Pinot Noir Meczan is remarkably pretty. Dusty rose and lavender tones complement wild strawberries. Juicy textures, ripe wild berry fruits, orange zest and tactile mineral tones sweep across the palate. The Meczan tapers off fresh, nearly crunchy in feel, with medium length. $16.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2024) — 8 days ago

The 2022 Vino Rosso Munaloss is bright, focused and sculpted. Sweet red fruit, sage, mint and blood orange abound in this super-expressive wine.

The 2021 Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne is a fabulous, explosive wine. Sumptuous dark cherry, ripe plum, mocha, licorice and new leather are all dialed up to the maximum. This racy, deep Barbera is tremendous. For its quality-to-price ratio, the Alba Tre Vigne might be the wine of the year at Vietti. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024) — 2 months ago

The 2022 Red Field Blend Casa Verde is one of the highlights in this range. Rich and effusive, the 2022 offers up copious dark red cherry/plum fruit, spice, new leather and licorice. This stylish Carignane/Grenache-based red delivers the goods. Best of all, the 2022 is a great value. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024) — 2 months ago
