The year 2008 is extra special for us. It’s when we first launched WSJ Wine! That’s why we are especially thrilled to bring you this exclusive: a perfectly mature 2008 Barolo Riserva for just $49.99 a bottle when you preorder a trio.

Here’s more good news: 2008 was an excellent year for Brunello. “Wine lovers who seek structured and expressive Nebbiolo with pure fruit flavors…will find much to like in 2008 Barolo,” says Bruce Sanderson in Wine Spectator.

The wine comes courtesy of Paolo Sartirano, our longtime partner in Piedmont, who works with grower Natale Seghesio, known locally as “il Poeta” (“the Poet”) for his habit of penning a verse for each vintage. Together, the two have a reputation for orchestrating terroir-driven wines of unending finesse and impressive longevity—this selection included.

Aged 18 months in Slavonian oak casks followed by 14 and a half years in bottle, it delivers full, attention-grabbing flavors of red fruit, violets, leather and mocha, with supple tannins leading to an overall velvet texture.

It’s rare for us to unearth mature wines of this caliber (and value). When our shipment arrives in November, we’ll have just 400 trios available.

Secure your allocation now. Limited to one trio per household.
