Anniversary ! — 10 months ago
Has a beautiful bouquet on the nose that prevails throughout its surprisingly long finish. Light bodied and a great alternative to some of the more common Italian varietals. — 3 years ago

Classic high acid Etna Rosso with playful and refined big flavor — 5 years ago

A m a z I n g. Fine furry tannins straight away so we decanted. One hour later this was singing. The nose was so pretty with cacao powder, faint sweet tarragon, and strawberries. Mouth coating raspberry fruit roll ups, smooth tannins makes this beautiful. TBL — 5 years ago

Wine dinner with big group including Butch neighbor Art, Philip and Bewan. Pino brought it for himself, given the Cab lineup. Another of his lively dare I say relatively light on its feet Amarone. Balanced profile, actually a good food wine. — 2 years ago

Delicious and slight fruity taste. Not too dry — 5 years ago
At first, nose is airtight but there’s a faint hint of liquer perfume. Palate is bright and tart, with only a hint of tannin, but a bit simple. After 24 hours, this comes alive. Nose is black currant and cherry cordial with ineffable herbs... papalo(?), mugwort (?!). There’s a sultry earthy quality hiding under the prettiest fruits.
Very atypical for a Nero D’Avola. This is brighter and more lifted. Not over-ripe or over-extracted by any means, but there’s plenty of concentration. Really elegant. — 6 years ago

The color of the Cantina del Pino “Gallina” Barbaresco, swear it, is “ruby squared”. While initially the nose was surprisingly muted, a quick decant seemed to turn the key to much greater depth. Stewed red fruits lead to a ‘growingly’ remarkable palate of bot power as well as finesse. While the tannins are obvious, evident, and young- it seems with every minute that goes by it relaxes. While doing so, revealing layer after layer of evolution and new experience. Like a lot of other Barbarescos: please be patient. Doing so will only reward you. — 6 months ago
Again a surprisingly well aged and very lively and fancy texture. — 10 months ago
