Nato In Vigna

"Vigna del Rolat" Collio Friulano 2022

Great Friulano, especially during colder weather. Floral, pear, honey - sweet nuttiness with a dry mineral finish to keep it from being cloying. Full-bodied. End of Thanksgiving weekend back in NY.

Second bottle with a super great meal: Smoky Cannellini beans and kale, red cow Parmigiano Reggiano, Di Palo’s fresh linguine, and homemade sourdough. A+

Vigna Lazzairasco Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

Enjoying at Stefano’s in Sheboygan WI; seriously worth the drive! This beautiful, delicate and sophisticated wine greets you with cherry and a lovely brick color, that quite honestly smacked me upside the head! Like wow! Don’t be deceived by its lush approachable appearance. This wine is yummy and I think it’s going to be my new go-to! It paired well with a 6meat stuffed pasta in a butter pecan sauce as well as a fresh Alaskan halibut topped with capers and artichoke. Thank Gawd Sheboygan isn’t on everyone’s radar! More for us!! YAY!!! — 9 months ago

Vigna Scarrone Barbera d'Alba 2021

2021 vintage. Last tasted a week ago (9.3). Everything I said then + a caviar bump this tasting episode. Unexpected lushness hand in hand with likes to fight guy...er...tannins. Ridiculous juice now. Dunno where it'll land in a 5-spot but guessing it'll be a pretty perfect landing. 7.23.24. — 5 months ago

Vigna Cicogna Greco di Tufo 2019

ESF
9.2

Don’t see it as often as I’d like, but I almost always pick up a Greco and always enjoy it! Florals florals florals, fresh garden, wet stones, orchard fruit - quite complex and this is best at cellar temp. Silky sensuous on palate, gorgeous body w/nice heft & balanced integrated acidity. Really strutted thru finish. Would like to revisit in 5 yrs — 9 months ago

Castello di Ama

Vigna l'Apparita Toscana IGT Merlot 2020

Considered the star of the CdA lineup, and similar to their chiantis which all have some Merlot blended in, but this was too much Merlot for me - had that plasticity I don’t love — 3 months ago

Martinelli

Bella Vigna Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019

Martinelli family has been farming in Sonoma County since 1860. Deep Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit and sweet spices. On the palate ripe cherry and blueberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this rich wine to a long finish. Good now will age a bit! — 7 months ago
