Vino Rosso
BaldinThe Reys has a nice deep, rustic quality that lends itself well to more robust northern Italian dishes.
It is a blend of 50% Nebbiolo with 50% Vespolina and is aged in small older oak barrels. Try this yummy red with pasta con funghi.

2022 Vino Rosso “Il Goccetto”
Italy | Piedmont
The old-school, vino rosso of our dreams—serve it chilled, perhaps in a glass pitcher, for full trattoria effect.
2022 Roero Arneis
Italy | Piedmont
Arneis has enough luscious, peachy body to satisfy Chardonnay drinkers, along with the mouthwatering zip of a good Sauvignon Blanc.
2017 Barolo Bussia Riserva “Cascina Dardi”
Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino
Italy | Piedmont
Alessandro Fantino’s Riservas are as good as Barolo gets.
2020 Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese Rosso “Euli”
Italy | Piedmont
A grape native to the Monferrato hills of Piedmont, Grignolino will surprise you; first with its pale garnet color and then with its rather summery nose of peach and blueberry.

Italy | Piedmont
Rich, ripe fruit with the delicacy and floral notes we love in great Barbaresco.

2017 Barolo “Vigna Rionda”
Italy | Piedmont
A few years ago, Guido seized an opportunity to farm a tiny sliver of Serralunga’s historic Vigna Rionda vineyard. He paid dearly for half an hectare of what is the Romanée-Conti of Serralunga, and his rendition of this hallowed site is worth every cent. This is a masterpiece...
2021 Rosso dei Dardi
Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino
Italy | Piedmont
Perfumed Nebbiolo fruit and tender tannins encourage pulling the cork just for the sake of quenching one’s thirst.

Italy | Piedmont
The Fantino brothers’ Riservas are as good as Barolo gets.
About The Region
Piedmont
Kermit’s love affair with the great reds of Piemonte dates back to the early days of his career: the very first container he imported from Italy, in fact, featured legendary 1971 and 1974 Barolos from Vietti and Aldo Conterno. Regular visits since then have seen our portfolio grow to now twelve Piemontesi estates, with a strong focus on the rolling hills of the Langhe.
Nebbiolo rules these majestic, vine-covered marl slopes, giving Italy’s most mystifyingly complex, nuanced, and age-worthy reds. When crafted via traditional production methods—long macerations and extensive aging in enormous oak botti—the powerful, yet incredibly refined Barolos and Barbarescos provide haunting aromatics of tar, raspberry, incense, tea, roses, and more. At times austere in their youth but well worth the wait, they pair beautifully with the hearty local cuisine starring veal in many forms, braised beef, pastas like tajarin and agnolotti, and of course, Alba’s famous white truffles.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Piemonte’s climate is continental, with baking hot summers and cold winters. Nebbiolo is only part of the story here: juicy, fruity Barberas and Dolcettos represent the bread and butter throughout the region, and other native grapes like Freisa, Croatina, and the white Arneis are also noteworthy. Value abounds in the Monferrato, while Alto Piemonte also has its share of thrills to provide.
Every corner of Piemonte is rich with tradition, especially when wine is concerned. It’s no wonder we have been singing the region’s praises for over forty years.
