Crivelli

Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato 2022

Floral, aromatic, and peppery. Inky tannins but good, bright acids. Some wet steel, violets, hint of coffee, red berry. A touch alcohol forward? From Astor Wines. 09/26/2023 — 7 months ago

Filippo Gallino

Licin Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2018

Mellow and delicious. Great expression of tar & roses Nebbiolo, with rounded acids and lush tannins plus cocoa, blackberry, mushroom, graphite, dusty violets, leather. Definitely a “baby Barolo.” From Astor Wines. 04/30/23 — a year ago

Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese Grignolino 2020

Really nice! Light, good acidity. Incredible deal. Had it at Astor class on Italian wine and brought a bottle home. — a year ago

Roagna

Dolcetto d'Alba 2021

Nice but not as lush, farmy, and funky as previous vintages. Acids are prominent and lean toward Barbera. Tart raspberry and sour cherry, touch of cola, good minerals. More from the Astor Wines Piedmont sale. 05/06/23 — a year ago

Pian delle Querci

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Astor bought for $17, originally was $22 — 23% discount but it was really yummy — a year ago

Fratelli Barale

Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Classic young Nebbiolo plus a little oak. Really nice acidity and medium– body with pretty mild tannins. Young and fresh but good. From Astor Wines. 05/04/23 — a year ago

Romagnoli Renato

Il Rosso Di Casa Romagnoli Red Blend 2021
