The 2010 Nebbiolo d’Alba is endowed with serious depth, power and richness. Dark red berries, underbrush, tobacco and incense are all woven together in this broad, voluminous wine. The 2010 is far from an easygoing red. Rather, it has the structure to pair nicely with fairly rich foods. This fabulous Nebbiolo will give many a Barolo or Barbaresco a serious run for their money. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. Hilberg-Pasquero can be counted on to deliver rich, flavorful wines loaded with personality. The small, tiny estate continues to be a beacon for quality in the Roero.

The estate's 2009 Nebbiolo d'Alba is incredibly powerful and rich for the appellation. Dark black cherries, licorice, flowers and spices are some of the notes that flow from this dazzling Nebbiolo. The balance and overall sense of harmony are beyond beautiful in this totally engaging wine. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. I have tasted the Hilberg-Pasquero wines for years. Still, I was completely blown away by this lineup. These are some of the most pure, unadulterated wines readers will come across. I can't possibly recommend the wines highly enough.

The 2008 Nebbiolo d’Alba offers up dark cherries, crushed flowers, cloves, menthol, licorice and new leather. The wine shows good length in an understated, feminine style, but the firm tannins expose a slight lack of richness to the fruit. Ideally, the estate’s Nebbiolo is best enjoyed before the fruit begins to fade. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. Hilberg-Pasquero is one of my favorite wineries in Roero. The wines are made with a natural, non-interventionalist approach in both the vineyards and cellar. As a result, there can be some variation in quality from vintage to vintage, but at their best these are some of the most unique reds readers will come across.

The 2007 Nebbiolo d’Alba is a big, super-ripe offering loaded with dark fruit wrapped around a generous frame. The round, pure finish caresses the palate with tons of fruit and sheer density. Floral notes add a sense of lift on the close. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. The small Roero estate of Annette Hilberg and Michele Pasquero is one of my favorite sources for pure, hand-crafted wines that highlight the unique qualities of this terroir. The estate’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore is often one of the region’s finest, as it is again this year. Importer: Vignaioli Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 686-3095

Licorice marks this dense, ripe red. New oak treatment adds spice, and the core of cherry and blackberry flavors persists through the finish. Balanced on the soft side, but rich and satisfying in a modern style. Drink now through 2014. 250 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Nebbiolo d'Alba Select to Add
