Albore Vermentinu Patrimonio ( Corsica) by Nicolas Mariotti Bindi. No vintage mentioned. Lovely fresh white, with a gorgeous salty finish. The wines from this lovely small producer are hard to find but well worth the search. Very low sulfites (< 15 mg/l). Abv. 13%. — a year ago
Very settled on the palate with a terroir finish with some minerality taste.. a bit on the dry side which is perfect for some seafood pasta..! ♥️ — 2 years ago
I picked this from the menu at a 1 hat restaurant on the Tweed River. Not much choice to be honest. This is way too early to be drinking this and should be left for another 5 years before approaching. This was quite lean with grapefruit and citrus notes The wine spent 10 months on yeast lees in French barrels, of which 25% were new. Cellar it. — 4 months ago

Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque, translucent core. Medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, tart dark cherries, tobacco, bergamot, black tea, dried herbs, crushed rock, and a hint of baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ in length and had a bitterness to it that was telling (to my palate).
Initial conclusions, this could be Cabernet Sauvignon (or a blend with Bordeaux varieties), a Grenache-based blend, Tempranillo or Sangiovese from the United States, France, Spain or Italy. However, the non-fruit characteristics seemed to take center-stage and the structure was pretty significant. I couldn’t get Sangiovese out of my head. So that’s what I called. Sangiovese, from Italy, Toscano, Chianti Classico, 2020 from a modern leaning producer. Close! The oak character should have clued me into thinking Riserva…oh well, I learn something every time. Drink now with some patience or through 2034. @Delectable Wine this is the “I Colli” vineyard in the Vagliagli UGA. — a month ago
