Fantastic and fresh. On a hot evening just perfect — 4 years ago
2013 Vintage. clear, golden color. red apple, underripe pear at first then becoming like apple pie on the nose. fine mousse, persistent and steady. Red apple, bosc pear, hints of lemon curd flavors. Not particularly yeasty but has a richness of flavor. medium long finish. balanced. well made. Too good for my sunday afternoon casual enjoyment. or is it?! — 6 years ago
The inviting breadiness and nuttiness on the nose reeled me in. There’s also aromas of yellow pears, green apples, and white flowers. On the palate it’s full bodied with an acidity that’s very well behaved and balanced. For flavors it’s a bowlful of mellow fruit like yellow pears, honeydew melon, and cantaloupe, getting an uplifting brightness from tart green apples. This is some awesome Prosecco. — 7 years ago
A Blessing a hot summer day. Perfect on its own or in company of cold cuts, pasta etc. — 5 months ago
Kalamata olives, dried black cherries, baker’s chocolate, rusted jalopy, black pretzel, tar, and dried violets. Energetic aromatically; evocative of a rustic stone house with a variegated garden of herbs, and perhaps straw roofing. Plum moves forward in a good way rounding out the basket. Powdered cherry and blood orange with the finest tannins seem to liquify into a delicious balancing act between fruit and earth and herbs. Ripe plum, dried red cherries, black cherry juice, black olives, blood orange over grilled meat, sassafras, sage, tarragon, black truffle, chicory and walnut. Not a traditional pairing with Californian lamb from sustainable vineyards in Lake County, but revalatory. #Barolo #nebbiololife #nebbiololover #nebbioli #cabutto #tenutalavolta #docg #piemonte #piedmont — 7 years ago

Blend of 20% Riservas from Sasella, Grumello, Inferno and Valgela with 20% Sfursat.
Amazingly complex nose full of cherries, lilies, spices, leather, herbs, a whiff of mint. Very youthful and without any evolved aromas. Midweight on the palate with impeccable balance, juicy acidity, a still firm, dusty tannic grip and a finish that goes on and on. Wow! What a wine. — 6 years ago

Big big bouquet! Soft and delicate upfront. Dried dark fruit -mild- that ends with a long lasting but mild earthiness. — a month ago
