Brolettino Lugana Turbiana 2023

2023 vintage. Medium body. This showed well at the FLB (Friday Lunch Bunch) weekly affair. Some sleekness. Some exoticism. Some mineralité. 6.26.26. — 8 days ago

Vigneto di Popoli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2016

Fresh, enticing, elegant.
Nose with earthy, musky raspberries, mulberries, a touch of damson plum, and a light flowery whiff
On the palate this is silky smooth. Zero rusticity, chewy tannins or sharp acidity - so often found in Montepulciano.
This has flow, energy, good depth, nice minerality underneath the fruit. And all this with 12% alc.
This is not at all what I expected! What a delight, what a nice surprise!
Very elegant, smooth, delicious.
A brilliant example the Montepulciano can deliver great wine!
Only but - you get 2 bottles of Ziereisen’s Syrah for one of this - and blind I would not be able to tell the difference.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2012

Paul J
9.1

Medium red color with brownish accents. Sampled over a 2+ hour decant. Massive nose of chocolate that evolves to amaretto and you can smell the 16.5 OH. Syrupy and very port like. Medium minus finish which is surprising. Always nice to try something new as this might be my first Amarone experience. Thanks MG!! — 7 years ago
