La Tiare Imperiale

Stefano Belbo

Il Duca Imperiale California Semi-Sweet Imperial Red Blend 1917

Nice red wine. A little sweet but not syrupy. Not as sweet as red Riesling. Would buy again — 2 months ago

Ronchi di Pietro

L'Anime da Nestre Tiare Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso

Plum, sour cherry, dried herbs, wet rocks, and mushroom. Subtle on the nose but super flavorful. Great with a dinner, and a superb value. — 2 years ago

Borgo Imperiale

L'auratae Sicily Nero d'Avola 2020

This one starts with a fun bouquet that includes some notes of char and brûlée, some leather shop, earthy woods, and drying tobacco aromas, some herbal spice like mint and rosemary, and some tart cranberry and raspberry red fruits. The palate keeps things simple and easy, with juicy cranberry and chewy red cherries and hints of smokiness and vanilla, with a medium-short finish. This grape doesn’t seem to have the tannins and phenolics to balance out the charred wood, but overall it’s a solid value that reminds me of a Brunello di Montalcino I had a while back that was about five times the price. It’s a great food wine that goes well with fresh and simple Italian dishes like plain cheese pizza and pasta with marinara. Organic and vegan for anyone interested in that. — 2 years ago

Drinking in 2023. Acidity still very present but has mellowed beautifully. Nose has developed sweet grass and myer lemon notes. Mineral throughout and on the finish that lasts and lasts. — 5 months ago

Bosco del Merlo

Turranio Lison-Pramaggiore Sauvignon Blanc 2019

This pale yellow wine has a fragrant nose with some grassy, herbal notes, although not as grassy as the Tiare. There is a nice floral element and some tropical fruit, too. The palate shows a great Sauvignon Blanc flavor profile - citrus, minerals, herbs - and an acidity which is pleasant enough without getting too crazy. I sometimes find Sauvignon to be a little much on the palate for my taste, but that is not the case with the Turriano. It is a very nice sip and wonderful match for rice or pasta dishes, especially those with an herbal flair to them. BTW, this wine is Friuli DOC. — 3 years ago
