Le Nature Langhe Favorita 2022

It also has a bit of chardonnay and riesling in various percentages depending on the vintage.
Favorita vines are pretty old, they were planted in 1980. It is a clone of vermentino apparently that has established itself in Piemonte.
The wine is dry, personality, freshness and it is easy drinking.
The price is a bonus.
Fairly long too

Augenta Dolcetto d'Alba 2021

When you thi k dolcetto this is the stereotype.
Dark cherry fruit, soft and plumpy.
This wine with salumi or a pizza is a crcker of a wine. Even some cheese. Some piedmontese robiola would be a great match.😋

Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

The colour is so attractive, so seductive.
Gloriously luminous.
Fruit is there, rose petals, tobacco, talc powder.
The wine is just pure joy.
It has a tannin thta screams for food of course, but but excellent quality tannin we must state.
Long and more.

Riserva St. Giorgio Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

A black cherry punch to start. A touch of vanilla. It's a dark wine for such an even tannin profile. The vanilla lingers. Light acidity. Had it with pasta/marinara. But a nice wine for Italian dishes. — a month ago

Ugolforte Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

Medium orange-rimmed ruby in color. Not too expressive on the nose: some dried flowers, albeit with stems and potting soil. Medium plus bodied. Medium minus acidity. Dry with nice initial palate feel but then gives way to bitterness and somewhat rough tannins. Medium alcohol at 14.0ABV but feels hotter. Some cranberry/unripe strawberry left, but not much else--pehaps some woody vanilla. At 8 years old, I would expect some tertiary flavors to have begun to develop. I don't think this is improving. It's a strong Brunello with a stiff upper lip, would pair well with a Florentine steak, but not elegant.
