Lemon, lemon zest, grapefruit, cashew nuttiness and dried herbs. Faint floral notes too. Has enough acidity to make it interesting for an Umbrian white

Once opened and you let the funky aged meat notes blow off, you end up with a surprisingly delicious red. Burst of tart cherries, cranberries, rhubarb, violets, brown earth. Picked this up at Maria Teresa's Cantina in Barolo. Good stuff. And cheap. Geeky Somms love it. — 9 years ago

9.1

This baby opens with pineapple and a touch of star fruit on the nose, then transforms on the palate with more tropical fruit, the characteristic lemon, and a hint of fresh mediterranean herbs. The salty minerality representative of this coastal area comes through, and the wine has bracing acidity that is made for the local food. — 9 years ago
