Vigna Scarrone Barbera d'Alba 2021

Vintage 2021 | dark colour, blackberry, plum, hint of violets. A rounded taste with spice. Beautiful balance. I like this wine that is a bit arrogant and playing hard to get. — 6 days ago

Villa Al Cortile Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Seemingly more youthful than the notes on my last bottle, about 20 months ago, would suggest. A fair amount of bricking at the rim, but the nose shows a nice integration of dark macerated cherry, Provençal herbs, iodiney minerals, and sun-baked earth. In the mouth, the tannins are there but resolving. Decent concentration, and sneaky acidity lifts it up a bit. Nice! — 2 days ago

Cascina Francia Barbera d'Alba 2017

Perhaps the best Barbera I’ve tastes. Bright sweet floral on opening. Very nice on opening - amazing day 2. Big, complex, packed with layers of silky smooth flavors. Cheries, cinnamon, cocoa, fig, citrus, leather and soft clove on the finish. — 15 days ago

Ruvei Barbera d'Alba 2022

Deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of cherries, raspberries, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, tart cherries, and crushed gravel with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense, but with a little volatile acidity (which is ok if you like tart flavors). Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 11 days ago
