It was great they can deliver to our Dollar General which meant we didn't have to waste our day sitting at home waiting for a delivery. They also had a very hard liqueur to find but they had it. Very happy with the service. Thank you Irene Kozlowski

Very easy to place your order, prices are good, confirmation and shipping information is quick and the order arrives correct and usually a day sooner than expected. What more could you ask for. I am a new customer and just received my third order. As long as customer service and pricing remains at this level, I have no reason to go anywhere else for my liquor and wine purchases.

2020 Fontanabianca Barbaresco (750ml)

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

From a gem of a family estate ranked among Piedmont's top under the radar producers according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, the elegant 94 pt. 2020 Fontanabianca Barbaresco offers fragrant, earthy spiced fruit and delicate acidity on a long, satiny finish, a bright and polished expression of Nebbiolo for savvy Barbaresco lovers to savor over the next decade and beyond at an unbeatable bargain price.

Named for the historic well or “white fountain” that lies below the cantina on the northern side of the village of Neive, Fontanabianca is managed by second generation Aldo Polo and his son Matteo, honing his skills under his father along with legendary consultant Beppe Ca’ Viola before taking the reins as winemaker in 2016. Situated in an area known for producing “structured, age worthy wines that boast elegance” according to the Wine Enthusiast, the 100% Nebbiolo grapes for the 2020 Barbaresco are sourced from three estate vineyards in the commune of Neive, the vines planted in calcareous clay soils on steep slopes rising to 300 meters above sea level and enjoying full sun exposure that promotes even ripening. Sourced from an outstanding Barbaresco vintage producing “volume, lushness and balance” according to Decanter’s Aldo Fiordelli, Matteo aged the 2020 Fontanabianca Barbaresco in used barrels for 15 months followed by 8 more months in bottle, crafted in an enticing style Antonio Galloni calls “hedonistic and decadent Barbaresco at its very best” and yielding a rich and full-bodied Nebbiolo with earthy minerality and fine, polished tannins that promise longevity over the coming 10-15 years

Described by the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner as getting “better with each vintage I taste,” the enticing 94 pt. 2020 Fontanabianca Barbaresco offers the appealing combination of immediate accessibility and age worthy structure for fans of vineyard-driven Nebbiolo seeking extraordinary value, a delicious, age worthy Barbaresco matching the complexity and critical acclaim of many single Cru bottlings at a fraction of the price.

Ripe dark-skinned fruit, mocha and grilled herb aromas mingle with violet and pipe tobacco on this delicious red. Smooth and savory, the polished palate delivers dried cherry, orange rind and licorice alongside tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2025–2032.

94 points, Kerin O'Keefe (Apr 2023)

The 2020 Barbaresco slowly reveals delicate fruit with finely tuned aromas of wild cherry, tar, rose and pencil shaving. That darker mineral note gives this vintage a deeper, more baritone quality. But Nebbiolo's characteristic brightness shines through. The 2020 tannins are more immediate overall, and the wine's mouthfeel is slender and firm. This is a 35,000-bottle release.

93 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Aug 2023)

Candied cherries, wild herbs and darker flowers, with subtle violet notes, create a very pretty aromatic profile. Well-structured, it showcases a great balance, with supple tannins and lifted acidity. While it can be enjoyed now, a bit more time in the cellar would be beneficial. Drink from 2024–2040.

93 points, Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2023)

Aromas of dried cherries with crushed flowers, red spices and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with velvety tannins with some chewiness to it. Textured and polished with a vivid red fruit character. Crunchy finish. Try after 2025.

93 points, James Suckling (Jul 2023)
