Antonello Rovellotti, Ghemme, “Chioso dei Pomi”

This wine has become one of our customers’ most beloved Italian reds. We know that when we offer Antonello Rovelletti’s Nebbiolo-based wines from the northern Piemontese village of Ghemme, we will soon receive many emails regaling us with tales of how incredible the wine is, and asking if we can locate more.It’s no surprise, in a market flooded with overpriced often underwhelming Barolo and Barbaresco, Rovellotti is a monument of quality, value, and tradition. Antonello Rovellotti’s Ghemme is the last of a dying breed, a rare glimpse into Nebbiolo’s bygone golden era. I believe it is equal, if not superior, to many of this most prestigious Barolos. I’ve enjoyed many life-changing Barolos from the 1960’s, and this wine is one of the only contemporary expressions of Nebbiolo that comes close to approximating their unique character and greatness. This is a timeless, breathtaking wine which is ready to drink now, but will only get better and better each year in your cellar.Antonello Rovell
