From Tuscany winery , honeymoon wine — 5 months ago
Popped and poured; no formal notes. Served alongside our dinner of a simple pasta dish: spaghetti all’arrabbiata. The 2013 CC Riserva from Casa Emma is redolent of gorgeous black cherry, raspberries, bergamot, dried green herbs, espresso, a touch of leather and subtle spices. Stout structure with tannin still firm and acid ideal for food. Long, dry and sublime finish. Every time I drink these wines from Casa Emma, I fall deeper in love. Drink now through 2033+. — 2 years ago
2023 from Trader Joe’s. Good, light, refreshing, not sweet. — a month ago

Opened for an hour before drinking. Really bright red fruit. Loved it. — a year ago
Year in, year out, this private label (which, the last several years, bottles wine made by Casa Emma), is a terrific value in a high-performing weekday wine. This new iteration is dark-colored, and sports a nose of raspberry coulis, dark florals, a bit of gravel, and vanilla. In the mouth, it’s dry and has pretty good flavor concentration, with good acids and still some youthfully vigorous tannin to shed. Medium-length finish. Probably better in a year or so, but nice now too. — 2 years ago
Lovely - soft fruit with mineral finish — 3 months ago
I taste earthiness, and cherries. Good mouth feel and light tannins. I would definitely recommend this wine. — 2 years ago

The ‘21 iteration of this wine is very, very good. Deep dark cherry, veering a little into a whiff of framboise, iodine-tinged minerals. Deep and vigorous in the mouth. Lots of everything, fruit, mineral, acids, tannins. Basically stuffed. Thing is great now and will age for several years, kind of amazingly for a basic annata. — 3 days ago
