I would call this a Nebbiolo if blind. Lovely nose of sweet cherry, orange peel, dried autumn leaf, baking spice, and very light barnyard. Medium to full body. Tasted very youthful on the palate with fresh acidity and good fruit intensity. Tannins start to resolve and lingers around on the long finish.
A blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. This should hold for another 5-8 years. — a month ago
This used to be labeled as Clos Noly, but since Clos de Monsieur Noly received Premier Cru status, the label was changed to Domaine Claude Manciat.
Decent complexity with Asian pear, lime, fresh cut grass, and flint. Round and textured, but somewhat flabby on the plate. Better served chilled.
Pouilly-Fuissé price has increased substantially since 22 vineyards were granted Premier Cru in 2020. This one is still reasonably priced at less than $20.00. — 17 days ago

Don’t remember the last time I drank a Timorasso, so it was good to get reacquainted with what many wine critics consider the best Italian white variety.
Aromatic nose of apricot, lime, green apple, honeysuckle, and light white floral. Medium to full body with very good texture and sharp acidity. There is a streaking salinity that leads to an intense finish.
I believe this is the only bottling (Moscato aside) from the winery that does not see oak. First vintage is 2019. Derthona is the ancient name for the town Tortona - like Chianti. — 3 days ago
