Tart, dark and pretty big. Approachable still. Excited to open some older Barolo from Conterno. — 18 days ago
Charming chard from the Piedmonte icon. Aromatic nose, thanks to a dash of SB, with peach, lemon curd, hint of mix tropical fruits, almond, and white floral. Nicely textured medium to full body. Refreshing round acidity. Seamless from start to finish. — a month ago
2021 vintage. Last tasted 7.17.24 (9.2). This "junior" Barolo continuing to bring the goods. Medium-heavy body. Likely best in another 7-10 years but showing nicely now. The nice price and a worthy choice while waiting for those big gun Barolos to come out of hibernation. 12.11.24. — 24 days ago
2021 vintage.
100 % Arneis grapes from vineyards in La Morra, Alba, Guarene and Castagnito in Piedmont.
Stainless steel ferment with several months resting on the lees.
Pale straw yellow in colour.
Acacia and yellow flowers with dried Chamomile, green apple, ripe peach and crushed stone.
A slightly bitter but fresh finish makes this wine perfect for Vitello Tonnato or whole grilled fish on the BBQ. — 20 days ago
Vino Joe
Opened beautifully. Lush first glass. Powerful cherry and dark fruit but not so sweet. Tannins made it mellow but long. Then the wine shut down and didn’t open back up for about 2 hours. It was sweeter but retained the complexity. It was in its drinking window but perhaps a longer decant next time or sit on this a few more years. — 5 days ago
