San Michele Roero Arneis 2017

Again a bottle to my liking. So guess that previous one was off. High in acids, tangerine fruits, classic bitters — 4 months ago

Malvirà

San Michele Superiore Barbera d'Alba 2005

Rich Italian dark cherries permeate this luscious bouquet with a slight hint of Valencia oranges. Sour cherries, spices and a slight orange sweetness that rounds off a smooth and balanced finish! 16 years old and who would thought it would be so spectacular? That’s right- those Italians did!! — 3 years ago

Borgo San Daniele

Mauri Vignaioli Friulano

This is a really good wine but definitely not a crowd pleaser. It starts off with melon and then turns to something like a dry, not-sweet mead. Cool and interesting. — 4 years ago

Carema Nebbiolo 2019

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2019 pours a very pretty garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberries, cranberries, pomegranate, rose pastilles, alpine herbs, cedar chest, and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose thought the palate seems to be a little more reserved. The finish is medium. This is an authentic and elegant expression of Carema; a place already known for elegance. Drink now through 2034. Thanks to @Lyle Fass for the assist! — 6 months ago

@Jay Kline yup, new winery so no track record but based on Ferrando I think this has legs.

There are similarities for sure. I would even go as far to say that these offer more freshness, at least in their youth.

Tenuta San Michele

Murgo Etna Bianco Carricante Catarratto

70% Carricante 30% Catarratto from Sicily and yes I needed Jancis Robinson et al. to tell me what those grapes are. Dry with nice aromatics (curry, cumin, dried red pepper) and minerality. If you had told me this was Vermentino I would have believed you. Very nice and yes @Brendan Devine it’s natty. — 4 years ago
