"Giallo d'Arles" Greco di Tufo DOCG 2021
Incredible Greco! Starts with really heavy florals and dried stone fruit. The body and viscosity is so smooth that you can’t believe it’s a white wine. It would benefit so much from age as the long and gentle oxidation with start bringing out more honey and candied fruit. Stellar — 2 days ago

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Oceano 2017

Vigneti di Foscarino Soave Classico Garganega 2019
Tasted “I Palchi” 2019. Best (and most expensive) Soave I’ve ever had. Almond-floral-lemon pith flavors are in perfect balance with such high intensity. Body is so viscous while alcohol is balanced. So complex — a month ago

Via del Campo Irpinia Falanghina
Outstanding acidity for the grape. Leads with lemon and florals, slightly under like tropical fruit takes the background. Lots of intensity and freshness but a lot of acid structure leads to a long finish. Possibly the best expression of Falanghina I’ve ever had — 2 days ago

Riserva Grandi Annate Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese Blend
Soft balsamic and austere, dry sour cherry, maybe mint. Great stuff, very developed tannins — 16 days ago
Chiara Condello
Le Lucciole Sangiovese 2017
Unusual and well made expression of Sangiovese. The nose would remind of Moulin-a-Vent, with vibrant brambly red fruit more than cherry and a touch of forest floor. The palate is more classic but tannins take a backseat to the saline, acid-forward mouthfeel — a month ago
Roberto Carli
Great in its category! Slight fizz, brambly sour cherry, lots of florals, bright acidity, just a touch of tannins, lots minerality. Needs to be cold. — 15 hours ago
