Our local expert Leonardo has done it again. If you love fine Italian wines—jump down to reserve yours quickly. Only 250 cases available.
The Barbaresco appellation is home to some of the finest expressions of Nebbiolo (the noble grape of Barolo). The top wines made in the famous Crus, like Montefico and Montestefano, command upwards of $80 a bottle. But in the neighboring Cru of Gaia Principe, you’ll find equally lovely wines like Il Poeta. It’s just as elegant and less than half the price (only $31.99 a bottle) with this presale.
Crafted at the Sartirano family’s 150-year-old cellar, Il Poeta boasts 92-point scores from the International Wine Challenge and critic James Suckling.
Subtle aromas of cherries
and raspberries with hints
of sandalwood, bark and
licorice. Medium-bodied
with firm, polished
tannins...with a vivid,
red-fruited finish.
— 92 points, critic James Suckling
Il Poeta Barbaresco Gaia Principe 2020 offers classic aromas of poached plum and truffle, plus subtle leather and vanilla notes thanks to 9 months of barrel aging. The palate displays bright berry fruit, black cherry, violet, mocha and supple tannins. Intense and poised, perfumed and elegant. Simply put, it’s everything fans look for in a premium Barbaresco.

Natale Seghesio grows the grapes for Il Poeta and wrote the poem on the label. Here’s a translated excerpt of his verses:
CHANGE OF SEASON
The earth rests under the snow,
wrinkled by the sky that hides it and
sleeps motionless without breathing.
Steep hills hit by the wind
bare trees with fallen leaves
raise their arms to the sky.
silent are the birds in the woods.
Winter, time of reflections.
The earth rests, the farmer stops
the time runs. you cannot stop
a moment, spring reappears.
