🎄 ’Tis the season for holiday feasts… and unforgettable w**es.
From prime rib and Yorkshire pudding to Aunt Sue’s legendary Cranberry Crimson Mold, the holidays bring out the dishes we wait for all year long—some more beloved than others. 😉
And when the table is full, great w**e makes every bite even better.
For a true classic, few bottles shine like a Christmas Barolo—an Italian tradition that pairs beautifully with hearty winter fare.
This year, I’m turning to one of the most historic names in Barolo: Azelia.
Five generations. Over 100 years. Organically farmed vineyards. Native yeasts. Neutral aging. Pure tradition—no shortcuts.
Their rare Azelia Barolo Riserva Bricco Voghera 2014 is something extraordinary.
Perched on a tiny, impossibly steep cru in Serralunga, the vines average 95 years old and produce tiny, concentrated berries packed with nuance. Lorenzo Scavino—Azelia’s w**emaker—still works much of the vineyard himself.
Antonio Galloni called the 2014 Voghera:
⭐️ “One of the most compelling w**es I have ever tasted from Azelia… flat-out stunning.” (97+)
Silky tannins. Inner perfume. Sweet red & purple fruit. Blood orange. Spice.
A w**e that stops you in your tracks.
From the gold label to the aromas that soar from the glass, this Barolo is built for the season:
✨ Prime rib
✨ Roast duck
✨ Truffle dishes
✨ Or simply sipping slowly by the tree
