Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2021 pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium plus viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe red and black fruit: Morello cherry, raspberries, pomegranate, roses, fresh asphalt, talcum powder, dry green herbs, gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and a touch savory. In general, the 2021’s are strutting at this early stage and it’s hard to say if they will shut down like the 2010 and 2013 vintage or keep delivering the goods like the 2016 vintage. Regardless, the future is long and bright. Drink now with patience and through 2061. — a month ago

High alcohol, low tannins, excellent fruit and body, needed decanting, better the next day. — a month ago
A very nice white blend from Northern Italy. The large presence of Arneis grape was big on the nose and front of my palate. The spice and thick floral notes are magical here, as well. A touch of Sauvignon Blanc smooths it out for a delicious wine that pairs well with soft cheeses and baguette. — a month ago
