Campania with copains! — 9 months ago
This is a full-bodied & concentrated 100% Aglianico from Campania, Italy. The vineyards are understood to be 200-years old in Campi Taurasini, hence the name of the wine ‘Bicento’ (twice hundred). This makes them the oldest in Europe. The wine is robust, intense, pitch dark with firm, dusty tannins. The finish is very good, with dark berry, black plum, licorice, & spice flavours — 2 years ago
Very nice (haha, get it?). Seriously a beautiful wine all around but at $30/bottle you get what you pay for. Opaque purple color. Black cherry, chocolate, peppercorn, vanilla, and a hint of spruce tips on the nose. Cinnamon and strawberry taste, super complex. FULL bodied with an acidic bite underneath. Third wine from this winery, all were incredible. — a year ago
A new white for me. Had this at an Italian wine tasting at a new local wine store. I don’t think I have had white wine from the region of Paternopoli. Evidently this wine was introduced by the Greeks along the Tyrrhenian coast. The name comes from the characteristic shape of the cluster, whose grapes are grouped in pairs. Lovely hints of tropical fruit and very light. So delicious! Will pair with pasta and white sauce and a nice salad. Lovin it! Oh and by the way…I really have tried to be good this year! 😜 — a year ago
Nativ velluto rosso red velvet. Deep ruby coloration. No translucency. On the nose,
Cherry, smoke, earth, clay and minerals. On the palate, cherry, smoke, earth, minerals and a long finish of blueberry and vanilla. Full bodied, extremely smooth and velvety. Tannins are present but not overpowering. 2019. Outstanding value. — 5 months ago
You could say this is v.nice. Ok, this wine is fantastic. Oak, vanilla, cocoa, leather, cooked jam on the nose. Dry, tannic, so fruity with plums, strawberry, and raspberry. Had the primitivo from this winery and they clearly know what’s up. Would love to have again, preferably every day until I croak. — a year ago
Cinnamon and cloves on bouquet and palate combined those with red fruit though may get a little plum mid palate. Smooth to course tannins that add to the long lasting mouthfeel. Like a lot. 1 more bottle. Drink in next 5 — a year ago

Nuova Italia, Ilchester. Fruity and slightly unexpectedly sweet. Berries, fruit. Enjoyable enough. — 4 days ago
