Barbacarlo Provincia di Pavia IGT 2019

Surprise, surprise - I‘m not that wine you usually drink. I’m a mix of amarone, nebbiolo and lambrusco. The best of all them. — 3 days ago

Barbacarlo Oltrepo Pavese Red Blend 1994

Черри-кола, сухая малина, клюква, ревень, темные пионы, можжевельник, прелая хвоя, жирная земля. Почти не ощутимая газация, сочное среднее тело с естественной кислотностью и интегрированными танинами. Свежо, полно, ещё первично, без явных возрастных признаков. Жовиально и ещё чуть первично, но при этом фактурно и глубоко, в отличной форме. — 6 years ago

Montebuono Provincia di Pavia Red Blend 2018

Old style wine
I love the detailed description attached to the neck of the bottle telling you all about the site, the winemaking and how to deal with the wine

This is a Barbacarlo's brother, not minor though

It starts quite fruit orientated, but it does unfold over many hours in the decanter

At first you can mistake it for a robust sparkling shiraz(given that it has a fizz when opened).
Day 2 the blue mineral it's all over and it is smoother and more enjoyable too( the tannin is more digestible too)
Very long and to review again in many years

Ps after a battle in Marengo(Italy) Napoleon stopped by in the area and sipped on this delicious nectar; from there the vineyard hill is also called Napoleon's hill(as well as Montebuono hill).

Bizona BW 555 Blue Wine Primitivo 2017

FRESH. SUPPLE. SOFT. Tart cherry, touch of anise and a very punctuated finish. Some tannins but nothing overpowering. On the nose get some herbal notes but again, nothing overpowering. Only de-stemmed and not crushed, 5 day maceration, stainless steel, unfiltered. Very fun. Serve with slight chill. The label is an Italian film reference from Lino Banfi that I don’t get but want to. — 5 years ago
