Light and acidic, bright but not too fruity. A little bit of bret. 12%. We served slightly cooled, with halibut and black truffle pasta... was a perfect pairing. I would say it is a little overpriced but a nice, simple, elegant wine. — 3 months ago

In my opinion occhipinti’s best and one of the best skin contact wines I’ve had. Beautifully floral, think earl grey... always better on the second glass and not over-chilled. Lovely orange zest and apricot finish. Maybe not for the VA and Brett loving goofball natural wine fanatics but definitely something interesting for someone with a more classic palette who craves complexity and subtlety. — 4 months ago

Pretty austere and tight. Must have with food: Osso buco Milanese was a good pairing and brought something more out of it. — 8 months ago

A beautiful skin contact white, tannic and even a bit bitter. Over time gets more going on... preserved lemon etc. Don’t drink it too cold. — 3 months ago

Beautiful expression of Sangiovese... I’ll take this over most Tuscans if the same price point. A clean natural wine at a great value. — 3 months ago

Was it intentional or by accident that the 2017 turned sparkling? Did the nuns intentionally try their hands at pet nat? For me it was fun for a night but I prefer previous vintages and their complexities. — 7 months ago

8.5 because of the price point—if it were $10 cheaper I would rate it at closer to 8.8/9. And the price is the only thing it has in common with any CA wine I’ve had. With 12.1% alc and a basket of fruit, it is easy to drink a little chilled and was great with cheeses and pasta. Drinks very clean (as I like) and if I was tasting blind CA would be the last place I would have guessed. Tastes very French to me. — a year ago

One of two remaining bottles of Bressan that will be my last, as I’ve just learned of his fascist and racist tendencies. While it’s hard for this brown guy to enjoy a wine made by a vehement racist, I’ll try to be fair: an elegant skin contact wine, truly deep orange color, but not as complex as his reds. It does open up and reveal more over time and at the right temperature. Needless to say I won’t be supporting this producer again. — 3 months ago

I hate to love trendy wines like this but honestly it’s very good. Maybe a little overpriced but it’s worth trying a bottle. A light red with solid tannins and a very smoky, tar like finish that doesn’t overpower the fruit. I would drink at slightly cooler than cellar temp but not chilled as you will be missing out on the clove and spice. — 6 months ago

Had never heard of nascetta till I tried this one. Google it... interesting Piemonte story. An enjoyable white with light skin contact. Maybe a little past it’s prime but a great value at sushi note in LA. (Also maybe a little heavy for sushi but great with the appetizers) — 10 months ago
