The NV Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore opens with a sweetly scented bouquet of crushed apples, chamomile and spice. It’s soothingly round with a savory white pit fruits and sour citrus blend. This tapers off squeaky clean while leaving a mineral tinge that punctuates the experience nicely. (Lot# L3.265) (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2023)

2021 autumn. Some initial brown funk blew off after a bit, allowing the soft, open-knit nature of the wine to show through. Plenty ripe in this vintage, and thus not the most taut, but a very enjoyable country Nebbiolo — 2 years ago
Dec 2023. Vertical w/ 2010 vintage. Should have tasted this on first! 2010 is outstanding (probably at least partially due to the age) this 2016 is very good. Black fruit, chocolate, tobacco. Classic left bank Bordeaux. Excellent QpR ay $29/bottle. Have several more so can enjoy as it ages. — 4 months ago

The NV Extra Dry Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore wafts up with a perfumed blend of freshly sliced nectarines and lime zest. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness complicated by a mix of zesty acidity and mineral-tinged orchard fruits. It finishes clean, yet a bit short. A candied citrus hint gradually fades.

2021 vintage was mildly tannic w/ a hot nose, good mouthfeel w/ blackberry/cherry flavors that quickly fade. Very nice! — 6 months ago
