Barolo is the prized red of northern Italy’s Piedmont region—and Il Poeta offers a definitive step up from the average bottle. Here’s why:

Rare Classification
Most Barolo wines come from the larger region, which includes 11 villages. Il Poeta comes from the fabled, hilltop village of Barolo and has the coveted “Barolo del Comune di Barolo” classification.

Glorious Vintage
Il Poeta showcases the 2020 vintage, which was rated 95 points by Wine Spectator and 93 points by Wine Enthusiast. Critic James Suckling says, “There’s something special about the 2020 Barolo.”

Talented Team
It’s a delicious collaboration between local grower (and nationally recognized poet) Natale Seghesio and renowned winemaker Paolo Sartirano. Paolo ages the wine for 18 months in Slavonian oak casks plus 20 months in bottle before release.

Superb Quality & Longevity
Il Poeta Barolo brims with ripe blackberry, currant and cherry, plus spice and balsamic notes, and will age well for at least a decade. Decant before serving, then pair with classic black truffle risotto or roasted red meats.

Il Poeta’s normal retail price will be $59.99, but when you reserve an allocation today, you’ll pay less than $50 a bottle. Hurry—we only have 200 cases.
