Gushing fruit & earth. Not a bad pairing for osso buco. — 4 months ago
For a middling year, drinking really nicely right now. Nose has some red fruits, a good dose of earth and mushrooms. The palate is nice red fruits and some light tobacco. Perfect combination for the mushroom lasagna and the iberico pork chop at Monterey. — 22 days ago

Vivant Grignolino, nice chilled. A little funky, strawberry and ripe cherry, black pepper and a little dusty, good tannins. From Astor Wines. 04/28/23 — a month ago

Pretty similar colour to the Bartolo , medium deep garnet core , slightly less terracotta at the rim. Porcini mushrooms , sous bois , dried meat , really quite complex. On the palate more mineral , but with a strong meaty , porcini mushroom note , then with blueberry , blackberry . Very fine but present tannins , lovely balanced acidity . Long and really refined . With time in the glass shows well , but will improve over the next 5 -8 years and continue on a further 10 at least — 18 days ago
