WINE PROGRAM

The Barbetta wine list boasts over 1,700 labels, with extraordinary verticals and rare vintages from top producers dating back to 1961. This remarkable list won Wine Enthusiast's first prize in February 2005, the Award of Ultimate Distinction. It has also won Wine Spectator's second prize, the Best of Award of Excellence, every year since 1997. In September 2005, Barbetta won first prize from Santé Magazine.

“It’s hard to believe now, with Italian wines having gained so much in prestige and popularity, that in 1962 only one Barolo was imported into America and that Barbaresco and Gattinara were not imported at all! For many years, we imported the only Barbaresco and Gattinara to be found in this country.” - Laura Maioglio
