Beautiful perfume of fruit, spice and savory. Excellent snap and verve for a 2020, structured and ripe tannins frame the palate. Vallegrande is capable of great things as a Cru and this wine is a great example of that. — a month ago

2 hour open bottle before drinking. Paired with short rib ragu over penne. Wow. This wine was excellent. Smooth elegant. Great terroir but soft. Great finesse. Held up to the richness of the short ribs. — 19 days ago

Delicate floral aromas, soft on the palate but a bit of body, peach flavors and peach skin texture tannins. — a month ago

This iteration of the Garagiste private label (from an undisclosed winery) is excellent, particularly in view of the vintage. Classic Nebbiolo nose of faded roses, macerated cherry, old barrel scents, spice (hint of cinnamon?), crushed stone, and porcini mushroom. Surprisingly soft on the palate for a ‘14, with deep cherry fruit, crushed stone, and spice flavors. Very nice flavor concentration. Nice acids and very soft tannin come though in the back half of the palate. — 2 months ago

Classic Nebbiolo aromatics. Dried flower petals, dusty cherries, herbs, cocoa nibs and lots of grip. BYOB at Lucali pizza in Brooklyn.

This is in a great spot and really pops with food.

Dry and fresh. Slight rich. Citrus, pineapple. Slightly stimulated on my tongue. Quite good balance between fruitiness and acidity. 2021 @1980, Toscany JH, 230813-230815 — a month ago

My favorite fresh Valpolicella but harsher in the finish at this point. Likely better when fresh. A good choice for pizza. — 3 months ago
