Pet-Nat might be a fad, but it’s still so much fun! This one is funky and intensely floral, but does have a bit of fake/candied fruit quality (hard candy) that puts me off a bit. — 6 years ago

Great effervescent, funky blend from Psychic Wines.
Serve chilled and with food. — 7 months ago
Frizzante! Lightly effervescent, on the sweet side. Crazy juicy and crushable, like martinelli's. Black cherry, red currant jam, toasted almond. — 5 years ago
Vivid moderately saturated ruby. Fresh scents of black cherry, strawberry, mocha and flowers. Then extremely clean and fresh on the palate, with a youthful, musclebound quality but also very precise concentrated red fruit and violet flavors. Finishes long with smooth tannins and outstanding balance. I can’t even begin to remember the last time I have had a Gutturnio so devoid of green streaks and so much fun to drink. Well done. A blend of 55% Barbera and 45% Croatina from vines planted in 1977; spends twelve months in large oak barrels and barriques. The label says 14% alcohol, but it tasted like it had fewer octanes than that to me. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, Jan 2018)

Bonarda Frizzante, trovata sulla guida Slow Wine premiata come vino Quotidiano. Leggermente amabile ma non quei dolciastri che stancano, frizzante e rotonda, l'ho apprezzata con una focaccia ed un tagliere di salumi! — 5 years ago

Very old white wine. Golden hue. Smells a bit like golden delicious apples, Bartlett pear, honey and sweetened lemon. Flavors are hint oxidized, but still tart and bright. Plenty of citrus. Lots of tannin. This is adventurous and delicious white. Wonder what it was like closer to 2014. At this stage it’s a bit like my favorite kind of Chardonnay. Smooth and round, but zippy too. — 2 months ago
