“I am learning with Nebbiolo” would be the name of my experimental, Ambient music band. Seriously though, this is my life. Nebbiolo is my mistress and I am taking lessons.

Ronchi di Gramogliano Friuli Colli Orientali Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2020

Second take on this wine in a different vintage and, in short, I still like it. Red forest fruits and cherry on the nose, along with some mineral notes like slate and pencil lead, an earthy note too. The palate is long, acid driven, shows a bright cherry note all along. There are some earthy notes too and some width. The mouthfeel is rather smooth at first but develops into a lively tannic wall in the rear, powering up a long fruity finish with still some of these earthy notes and cherry. Good stuff but could use a couple of more years in bottle. — 4 months ago

San Lorenzo Rosso Conero Red Blend

I was slightly concerned that this was 10 years old, but it was dark, plummy with a scent of figs, little earthiness, and gritty tannins on the finish. — 4 years ago

Vigneto Brich Ronchi Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1997

I was afraid this was going to be too old. I was gladly surprised by this. The nose was divine, fully mature, a melange if cherry and modest oak in a velvety texture. Can last a few more years! — 5 years ago

Colli Orientali del Friuli Schioppettino di Cialla 2016

A new tasting experience on several levels. Had never heard of or tasted this grape varietal, Schioppettino. I was looking for a lighter red off the menu at Settimo, Guy Grossi’s new Brisbane venture. Chosen purely because of its location in Friuli ie. cooler climate. The Somm was in the dark but the wine ended up being a revelation. Red cherry and cranberry - intense white pepper on nose and palate. Dried red florals. Love this style. Will be on the lookout for this Cuvée in the future. — a year ago

North east Italy is a hidden gem for wines.
Right up against the Dolmite Mountains, warm days, cool nights.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige really deliver.
Foradori, Franz Haas and Alois Lageder
are producers I look for.

Totally agree Jamie. I generally love cooler climate wines. In Italy the Valle d’Aosta is another example next to the Swiss Alps in the north west.

Absolutely.
Pinot Nero…(Pinot Noir) .. from Lombardy will impress you.

Casal di Serra Vecchie Vigne Classico Superiore Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi 2016

Let me first say this wine is very versatile to have with different global dishes. In summertime, I will BBQ BC halibut and Spot Prawns and in the winter time we will have Nabe (Japanese hot pot) with Dashi stock and lots of vegetables.
It has a brilliant straw colour with greenish hints.
On the nose white flowers with citrus and beeswax. Taste wise, golden Delicious apples, acacia honey, creamy lemon curd , minerality to last for days and a raw green almond finish. The best part is this wine can age 5-10 years and grow more complex. Old vines Verdicchio flies below the radar.
