2021 Vino Rosso “Il Goccetto”
Tenuta La Pergola

One of the most beguiling and seductive reds you’ll have the pleasure of tasting, Il Goccetto prominently features Piemonte’s native Brachetto grape. Typically used for sweet sparkling reds labeled Brachetto d’Acqui or Birbèt, Brachetto is vinified completely dry for this bottling, capturing all the grape’s enticing aromatics in the form of a table wine unlike any other. Rose petals and wild strawberries come to mind, counterbalanced by a gentle bitterness that renders it incredibly food-friendly. With little tannin, it should be served cool and uncorked on any and all occasions.

2017 Barbera del Monferrato “Perlydia”
Italy | Piedmont
While it can age for a few more years, its rich, juicy fruit and plump texture make it hard to resist today.

2018 Monferrato Rosso
Italy | Piedmont
A quintessential house wine from Piemonte’s less-traveled side.

2018 Barolo “Gianetto”
Italy | Piedmont
The Barolos of Serralunga are renowned for their power and longevity, and while Porro’s Gianetto is not the unyielding, tannic beast of old, it will certainly benefit from a few years in your cellar.

You’re going to bring your martini game to a whole ’nother level with this dry Piedmontese Vermouth.

Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino

Alessandro Fantino’s Riservas are as good as Barolo gets.

2018 Barolo “Mosconi”
Italy | Piedmont
One of the most prestigious vineyard sites in his village of Monforte d’Alba, if not all of Barolo.

2021 Langhe Pinot Nero “Arneg”
Italy | Piedmont
Distinctly Piemontese with a nose of fallen leaves, earth-tinged bright red fruit, and a tar-like mineral streak, this delicate Pinot Nero offers a transparent expression of its place of origin.

2020 Vino Rosso “Il Goccetto”
Italy | Piedmont
This wine is playful, has gorgeous aromatics, with great acidity and when you throw a slight chill, you’re immersed in its seductiveness. A dry Brachetto with a bit of Barbera, this is my weekly house red that accompanies many meals!

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.

About The Producer
Tenuta La Pergola
The story of Monferrato Rosso began in a simple trattoria. Dixon and Kermit were on their way to Alba when they stopped for lunch. They were served a pitcher of Arneis that pleasantly surprised them and got the address of the producer. When they visited, they tasted several cuvées of Monferrato Rosso. It has quickly become a staff favorite, not only for its smooth earthiness and genuine regional typicity, but also for its versatility in pairing with a wide variety of dishes. We have high hopes for this everyday cuvée, because it has the finesse of a much grander D.O.C. Kermit says that it reminds him of the Piedmontese wines of old. Simple label, low price, totally satisfying!
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.
