Piero Benevelli
"Benevelli has been one of my favorite under the radar growers for a number of years... Readers will find rigorous, classically built wines that express the essence of several of Monforte's top sites...I am often asked who the up and coming stars are in Piedmont. Massimo Benevelli is surely one of them."

"Massimo Benevelli is an old head on young shoulders. Massimo is quiet and shy. When he talks, he talks for a reason. The same goes with the wines he makes. They are a reflection of Massimo and his Langhe Nebbiolo, Bricco Ravera Barbera and Monforte Barolo all share his stamp. They are not tricked up. They are not smothered in oak. They speak of Monforte, they speak of Massimo and importantly they speak of the vintage. They are not trying to be something they are not."

2021 Langhe Nebbiolo DOC
Usually $40 - Special Offer $36
"Red fruit, cherry, almond, perfume and freshness. Just over medium-bodied, pure and fine, a little aniseed and tobacco in with those bright red fruits, fine grip of tannin, and a long red fruit and savoury finish. Pure and vibrant, and wonderful to drink. Give it a year and it will reward you handsomely, not least at such a modest price. Drink : 2023 - 2031+"

"Hailing from the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, the wine offers a gorgeous deep red colour with light orange glints. The aroma is full-bodied with hints of rose, plum, tobacco, coffee, cinnamon and liquorice. The palate is full-bodied, fresh, balanced, persistent and complex."

2018 Barolo 'Ravera' DOCG
Usually $109 - Special Offer $99
"Massimo’s Baroli are classical, brilliantly crafted representations of what is perhaps Italy’s most distinguished red wine. He strives to carry on the work of his father, who founded the estate with a focus on the steep, well-exposed Ravera vineyard, long known to produce a powerful breed of Nebbiolo with great complexity and finesse. Aged in a combination of enormous old botti and smaller used barrels, this Barolo possesses both the accessibility to provide immediate pleasure and the rigid spine to confer its long cellaring potential."

2018 Barolo 'Mosconi' DOCG
Usually $109 - Special Offer $99
"Benevelli's Barolo Mosconi fully reflects the style of the well-known Monforte cru characterized by excellent quality, but also by a personality capable of combining power and balance by virtue of a tannic texture of rare density and breath."

2015 Barolo 'Le Coste' DOCG
Usually $115 - Special Offer $105
"The 2015 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is dazzling. Wow. A wine of depth, richness and sensuality, the 2015 will stop you in its tracks. It is more obvious than most Barolos here have been in recent years, but when we are talking about the top sites in Monforte, where the wines can be hard young, a bit more flesh on the bones is not at all a bad thing. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, cinnamon, blood orange and mint build as the 2015 gains volume and resonance in the glass. Rich, pliant fruit fills out the classically built frame effortlessly. The 2015 is such a seductive wine. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gem. Drink 2020-2040"
