Nivole Moscato d'Asti 2022

Resuming my journey through Italian wine with this lovely Moscato D'Asti. Bursting with orange peel and lemon bar aromas backed by notes of orchard blossoms, gardenia, and a hint of minerals. Delightful summer fun. — 2 days ago

Cinque Stelle Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2013

Even better 4 1/2 years after the first time I tried it. This wine/vintage over-performs. Comparable to some of the higher end riservas. — 5 months ago

Il Principe Langhe Nebbiolo

With scallops, octopus, crab, and later short ribs at an Italian restaurant. The glue has subsided, not rubbery, some fruit is coming out. But not special.

21 minutes later: The candied bacon came out, and it compliments the short rib very well.

Tortoniano Barolo Nebbiolo

This wine almost restored my faith in Barolo but fell off at the end. Good initially but doesn’t retain the same flavor profile for the entire bottle. Still decent wine. — 7 months ago

Contrada Cavaliere Etna Rosso Nerello Cappuccio Nerello Mascalese 2020

南西側標高900mあたりの畑というなんとも気になるスペックのネレッロマスカレーゼ100。

ハーブやいかにも火山性な火薬、火打ち石感。
透明感に溢れながらもダークチェリーやドライフルーツ、醤油っぽい香り。
アーシーな雰囲気もあって、どこかりんごみたいな香りも。
言葉に置き換えるのが難しいほどの複雑味と多面性。
クリスマスだったので、チキンと食べたが、やっぱりあんまり合わなかったなぁ。
合わせるならローストビーフかな?
