"Figa" is Italian slang, albeit slightly vulgar, but also common in some northern regions like Milan and Bergamo where folks may use it as a comma or placeholder when speaking, not dissimilar to "dude" or "like" for American English speakers. Nebbiolo is the mighty grape of Piedmont and Lombardia famous for its lightly colored yet beastly tannic red wines. As always: natural ferment, unfined, unfiltered....a great food wine! Joe Swick is a native of Portland, Oregon who makes a wide array of unique organic wines. All his wines are made with natural yeasts, unexpected grape varieties grown in both Oregon and Washington State by small, dedicated growers. Joe's earlier wines included studies on Pinot Noir clones but nowadays many of his wines are adventurous co-ferments and naturally-made versions of classic grapes from Portugal or Burgundy.

2010 is an outstanding vintage for Barolo. There are so many choices for your cellar, and frequently Barolo from great vintages is destined for the bottom of your cellar and long term aging. But not this one! The Fratelli Seghesio vineyards are in Monforte d’Alba, the center of the Barolo appellation, and they are famous for their Barolo crü La Villa. Additionally, they also make a wine from the younger vines and a portion of the vineyard facing to the south-east. This 2010 Seghesio Barolo DOCG is that product and is destined for drinking in the first 10+ years of its life. In great vintages like 2010 it is absolutely delicious and drinkable now. The nose is full of classic aromas: the ethereal rose petals, wild cherries and a hint of smoky underbrush; on your tongue the wine is supple, it still says Barolo with its palate presence as a veil of tannin brushes the inside of your mouth but the wine's luscious fruit is what centers its flavors. The warm, inviting flavors are balanced and smooth and make this wine so easy to drink - you’ll be reaching for a second bottle.
