Lovely color. Light and pretty smells savory and complex. Flavors are lovely. Complex. Elegant. — 8 months ago
Out of Magnum, funky, earthy, deep with dark fruits, tanned leather and a long finish... Yum! — 4 years ago
This wine has beautiful balance with tart cherry, leather, tobacco and herbs. Soft integrated tannins give it some weight but don't overtake it. — 4 years ago
Opened and decanted 2.5 hours in advance of our inaugural Aglianco Osso Buco wine dinner here at the Gotham
Facing off against a range of Aglianco from Unti in Sonoma Leonetti in WA and Galardi 2010 in Campania
The 2007 Galardi came across with olives, gaminess and herbs in the nose but once tasted showed a certain finesse and smoothness that was great. This was right up there as the savory wine of the night. — 13 days ago
Each vintage seems to get better. Citrus aromas give way to tropical fruits w lush finish yet enough acid to hold it all together Enough structure to pair with a wide variety of foods — 2 months ago
A brilliant CalItal (yes, I said it) blend of Vermentino, Falanghina, Biancolella and Fiano from one of the kings of CalItal (Unti).
Fragrant (lemon ice, lemon verbena) and oh so refreshing (yellow flowers, fresh white melon). Delivers way more elegance and length than you’d expect from a simple porch wine.

The Leonetti was the youngest of the 4 bottles yet had the most alluring combination of fruit and density. Definitely a crowd pleaser. Easy to drink with or without the food. — 13 days ago

The 2010 Galardi was the most dense and as with the 2007, the fruit was minimal. Instead the flavor profile is herbs, green olives and incredible savory notes. It worked incredibly well with the osso buco and needed the richness to shine. This wine still had a bit of hard edges and could use more bottle age IMO — 13 days ago
Best in class Fiano, non-Unti division. Haven’t had an old white in a while and there’s something about the taste that just draws me in. This tastes old, in a good way. Dusty. Lemon zest and dried apricot. Full-bodied but still crisp. Straw color, higher ABV for sure. Tasting notes in collaboration with @Caroline Graham — 4 years ago

the Unti comes across with the brightest red fruit flavors of the wines and has a softness to the tannins that make this wine a little lighter than expected.
Fascinating that at the take end of the meal - 5 hours from opening - this wine really popped with fruit and more body than paired with the polenta and sauce.
Lovely wine and different expression of the grape here. — 13 days ago
