A light and sharp expression of Merlot. Lively and bright, no creamy heaviness here. Highly recommended. — 3 months ago

Blast of menthol on the nose, earthy finish with herbal and tobacco notes. Elegant and bold at the same time. A great Barbaresco. — 5 months ago

First bottling for this Cesanese del Piglio producer, and it’s very interesting. Still young and a bit harsh on the tannins, but the style is lean and elegant. Not a typical Cesanese. Notes of Dolcetto-like dark fruit, crossed with floral Nebbiolo elements. — 7 months ago

Barbera doesn’t get much better than this 2016 from Cascina delle Rose. Drinking beautifully right now, perfect balance of fruit and acidity, with a great earthy feel. — 4 months ago

Very impressive Vitovska. Floral and vibrant, with a touch of appealing earthy funkiness. Great acidity, that perfectly balances out the round mouthfeel. — 6 months ago

9.1

From Puglia, 100% Fiano Minutolo grapes. Golden color, a slightly creamy mouthfeel, and a surprising salty and refreshing character. Very interesting. Very good. — 7 months ago

Solid Bourgogne that pleasingly hits the expected buttery and mineral/salty notes. This 2015 is currently drinking nicely.

Great Dolcetto. Dark fruit and earthy notes with lively acidity. A serious and austere interpretation of this underrated grape. — 5 months ago

Very expressive and long Brunello, in great shape. Ventolaio is a very good (and somewhat underrated) producer. — 7 months ago
