Riserva Genevieve is not the best choice for a drunk company. But here we are, making our own mistakes. And also greeting a spoiled orange unveiling in our glasses. Mango, soap, white flowers and VA. It offers good acidity and balance. Its funkiness is moderate and not disturbing. This is by far the most complete wine in the range. Does it justify the price? — a year ago

A more structured Lambrusco than our normal go-to, Denny Bini (more berry fruit-forward). This feels tannic, dry, woody - of the forest. A bit of tobacco and brown leaves with quiet acidity. — 4 years ago
A crazily old Chianti blend (with large % of Canaiolo and Malvasia Nera) from vineyards in the Appenines, north east from Florence, almost on the border to Romagna.
Very open & floral-fruity on the nose, fresh, with cherries & black fruit, a touch of cassis, tomato leaf and orange blossom.
On the palate - zesty, juicy, ultra fresh with edgy, slightly rustic (yet light) tannins. Cherries, dark berries, a pinch of spice. Great purity & flow, dangerously drinkable (at an unnoticeable 14.5%!)!
Slightly chilled this is the perfect Italian food wine! A delightful discovery! — 8 months ago
I am a sucker for anything muscat-like. This was no exception! Would serve closer to room temperature than too cold to bring out all the flavor and complexity. Mineral, herby and spicy with a soft edge to it. Reminds me of a Bini 🥰 — 3 years ago
Light and delicious - easy drinking with interesting flavors. — 3 years ago
Hands down, it is arguably the best ancestrale I have ever tasted. And it even can compete with serious bubbles. So let's call Cicala annoying for its price (hehe, annoying Cicala; you get it, right?) and vinous for its qualities.
Honey, spoiled apricot, curry, Mivina spices, soap, potato chips, tropical fruits. Complex, generous and persistent. Fresh and a bit salty in the finish. I absolutely love the iodine touch.
