I adore this woman maker in the Dolomites, but my friends felt this white blend too suave for the setting (San Juan, PR) β 8 months 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. β 7 months 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. β 6 months 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. β 3 years ago

@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 β 4 months ago
