@Severn G had the note right, I would add this had an intriguing herbal quality, tomato plant and dried tropical fruit. pleasantly surprised and think it benefited from the bottle age — 10 months ago

Light and refresh. Beyond that, I don’t have a lot. It took a while to get this identified — 2 years ago

Last bottle wasn’t the best but I think we’re now 9 for 10 with this wine across 3 vintages. — 4 years ago

Not sure where I am at with Timorasso but this wine had a lot going on. Fascinating aromatics and crisp and lively on the palate. — a year ago

Nice flowery and fruity nose. I think I will keep my other bottles a few more years to see if and how it can develop further.
The acidity is at a nice very old balsamic level. — a year ago

Tasted “I Palchi” 2019. Best (and most expensive) Soave I’ve ever had. Almond-floral-lemon pith flavors are in perfect balance with such high intensity. Body is so viscous while alcohol is balanced. So complex — 4 years ago

The 2016 Barbera vigneti “Cerreto” appears a deep garnet color with a translucent core and slightly watery rim; medium viscosity. On the nose, medium intensity and initially gives an overall earthy impression accompanied by dark tart cherry, dark plums, red flowers and freshly laid asphalt. On the palate, the wine is dry with stewed dark cherry fruits and again with all the earth. Medium tannin, medium+ acid. The finish is tart and long. Tonight, this came across rather young. I would hold if I had any in my cellar and try again in 2023. That being said, it paired well with our pasta and sausage tonight! — 5 years ago

Had this vintners Timarosso same night & both lived up to the hype. A decade of age has made this Barbera blend a deep, soulful expression which I had not yet experienced in such a blend. Game, ripe ripe cherries sing once a decent decant tames the initial shrillness & one note balsamic dimension. Special, for old school fans. — a year ago

@Delectable Wine this is the Vigneti Costacurta Ghemme. Thanks!

Nose is full of spice and tar Big potpourri vibes. Floral and cherry. Cardamon. Clove. Deep and keeps revealing more and more layers. Nice. I like it. Juicy, balanced, pure. loads of tangy fruit. Deep, elegant, sappy and explosive. Big, grippy and ripe tannins but not obtrusive. Really clean and fresh. I love it. Really good length. Terrific wine and length. Wonderful. — 4 years ago

I like this a lot more than I expected. A touch woody but not overbearing. Silky smooth. — 4 years ago
