Macrina Verdichio dei Castelli di Jesi

8.9

Delicious light- bodied white that’s open and airy with a concentration of green apple, lime juice, pears and sea water with an inviting nose of yellow flowers. Simply delicious with a nice balance between round fruit and acidity — 4 months ago

Piancarda Rosso Conero Montepulciano 2018

Tom Casagrande

9.1

A balanced and thankfully minimally oaked Rosso Conero. Dark berries, turned earth, graphite, and a little licorice on the nose. Nicely managed texturally (Montepulciano can be a little grainy) it’s got almost Bordeaux-like restraint, but with a bit more dark berry fruit. Great lasagna wine! — 8 months ago

Not so strong smell, but carries far. A bit dry and very nicely bitter, not sweet at all. Black berries. — 3 years ago

Gioacchino Piancarda Rosso Conero 2017

Tom Casagrande

9.1

This is a Rosso Conero (now just Conero) that does not try to be something it’s not. Most Conero producers seem to want to have their wines be 2000s-styled “international wines,” replete with overextraction and lots of French oak. But this is perfectly within itself. Conero is supposed to be like this is: smoky, earthy, dark berries, tannins present but well-managed, good acids, please get me a bowl of pasta in a red meat sauce. Which I’m eating tonight. Thanks to my brother for giving this to me. — 5 months ago
