I just pulled this. Do you think it could use more time - or maybe a long decant?

@Pooneet K I popped and let it breath in bottle for two hours. Drank very open. Decant couldn’t hurt and I used the big zalto Bordeaux glasses

Palate is sweet blackberries. Hints of licorice. Spice. Delicious. Palate is more standard delicious.

Seriously beautiful texture.

Vento Forte Toscana IGT Vermentino 2019

Bright gold with coppery overtones. Unctuous nose of honey, dried apple., and clay! Palate is full and complex yielding layers of dried apple, white flowers, burnt marzipan, hay, and cinnamon bark. Acidity is firm from entry to finish. Finish is long and recalls the earthier earlier flavors. Wow. I may not think of Vermentino the same way. A complex, layered white with enough "stuff" to compliment a wide range of foods from seafood to poultry to (yes) lighter cuts of beef. Drink now through 2027. — 2 years ago

al forte Coste della sesia Rosso 2018

What a great example of the region the way the additions of Croatina and Vespolina complement the Nebbiolo all grown on the acidic volcanic soil of the region. Red berry flowers mint. Very alpine feel. Plus built to drink early. — 3 months ago

Petrucci Orcia Sangiovese 2018

A gorgeous bouquet of maraschino cherry liqueur, violets and saddle leather. But don't leave it uncorked too long - it's a fleeting experience. Sometimes those are the best. — 8 months ago
