Laccento Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato

Off the cork, I loved. There’s some earth in there, which I loved, but as this opened up, it got a little more floral and a little more sweet… so I pulled back my rating a touch.

Strong fruit upfront with a little spicy clove and firm tannins. Then a floral nose and sweet finish.

Nice glass of wine.

Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco Malvasia Nera 2022

Medium ruby in color, sparkling; raspberries and blueberries on the nose; tastes like cherry jolly ranchers and candied berries. A really nice dessert wine. I like it. — 7 months ago

Monferrato Rosso Red Blend 2021

Used it mostly for a sauce the other night, but three days in fridge it is still pretty great. Best with slight chill. — 12 days ago

Umberta Barbera del Monferrato

Been a minute since I rated anything. This is wonderful. Deliciously acidic that gives way to subtle earthiness and a decent amount of tanin for a barbera. Had on NYE with Calabrian meatballs — 2 months ago

Mompertone Monferrato Barbera Syrah 2020

Medium-dark ruby hue. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, leather, sage. Plus body, plus tannins, and plus acid - but otherwise smooth and beautifully balanced on the palate. 60% Barbera, 40% Syrah. — 6 months ago
