Riserva Bramaterra Nebbiolo 2012

Wow. This has aged magnificently.

Nose: dense. Brooding but still alive. Complex as this opens a lovely florality. Utterly gorgeous 30 minutes in. More pink rose and pretty as it opens.

Palate: dark cherry. Silky. Clean. Spice.

So long.

This guy is like the Jacky Truchot of Alto Piemonte. Light color, yet amazing finesse and delicacy along with a brilliant texture. Gorgeous nose. Cherries, spice, sawdust, Rainer cherries as well, some lurid feral aromas as well. So complex, delicate and detailed. Palate is beautifully fruited with lovely elegant tannin and gorgeous bright cherries rule the day. Dusty elegant tannin and sappy fruit finish it off. Needs maybe 1 hour to turn into the lace monster it becomes. — 8 years ago

Galliano Coste della Sesia Red Blend 2015

My god. What a wine. Like $20 or so. Such purity.

Nose: fresh leather. Intense pink roses.

Palate: so fresh. Intense and pure fresh cherries. Nebbiolo spice. Wow.

A magnificent bottle of inexpensive wine. So proud that I had a part in bringing this into our country.

Nice nose of bright cherry and spices. Some hints of chestnut as well. Smells old school. Palate is juicy and rustic with good cherry fruit and freshness. Good intensity and length. — 8 years ago
