Riserva Sant' Antonio Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2009

9.3

Amazingly tight for a 16-year old wine. The acids are smell-able on the nose, zinging along tart, macerated wild cherry fruit and glacier-crushed rock fragments. (OK, maybe I’m making up the part about how the crushed rocks were created.) In the mouth it’s deep but the acids rip this along on the palate like a whitewater canoe ride. Really really unique and good. — 2 months ago

Entry on this wine needs to acknowledge 23% Semillon in the blend. Great acid with lemon notes that turned into pink grapefruit. Bright and crisp — 2 years ago

Sant' Agata Lambrusco di Sorbara

9.0

Shatters all preconceived notions of what one expect. Lambrusco to be. Pale reddish orange hue. Taut and clean with persistent fine bubble, not just a fizz. Tart fruits like pomegranate and underripe strawberries. — 5 months ago
