An interesting Pinot Grigio from the southern section of Valdadige within the Veneto region (northern of Italy). Plentiful of white stony fruits embedded to the lime, quince and some herbs. It definitely has a bit and weight as a mouthfeel, short but sharp finish. It can be great as a sipper or a pairing grand stand with Mediterranean food and white sauce pastas. — 12 days ago

Opened the precious day and kept in the wine fridge overnight. The 2021 “La Rocca” pours a straw color with medium- viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with cheese and melons: cantaloupe, musk melon, Taleggio and Pecorino Romano with some lemon and raw almonds. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and there’s palpable texture. A fun wine and more interesting than most Gavi’s I’ve had recently. This is 100% Cortese sourced from their vineyards in Barbaresco and San Rocco Seno d’Alba; fermented and aged in French oak barriques. Drink now. — 7 months ago

Opened and decanted two hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1997 “Vigneto Brich Ronchi” pours a deep, hazy garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruits: Blackberry, Morello cherry, bruised strawberry, dried roses, tar, leather, potting soil, and subtle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long and savory. This is in a lovely spot. Drink now through 2027. — 21 days ago

Happy to find this on the shelf in NorCal. Still love the Cotta, but this takes me back to Barbaresco in a whiff. — a month ago

With enough age and air to hit on all cylinders. A bit of VA on day 2 and it elevates it even more. — 3 months ago

I was pleasantly surprised that we hadn’t held this 2015 vintage too long; it was ready to drink. Velvety smooth, perfect with any red sauce Italian dish. — a year ago
