Complex, nice sharp tannins, some farm/hay aromas alongside red fruits. Delightful! — 4 years ago

Big fan of the two wines we tried from this vineyard. This is without a doubt one of my favorite carmenère I have ever had. — 11 years ago
The fruit for the Oderro Poderi e Cantine “classico” comes from a combination of the Bricco Chiesa in La Morra and the Bricco Fiasco in Castiglione Falletto MGAs. The former being considered Oddero’s “home vineyard”.
Poured into a decanter about 30min before service. In the glass, the wine displays a beautiful ruby color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with very pretty notes of Montmorency cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, a bed of roses, orange peel, fresh sage, eucalyptus and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, drying and grippy. This is all about balance and freshness. These are quite giving already but undoubtedly have a long life ahead. Drink now with patience or through 2044. — 2 years ago

This wine is such a pleasant surprise still so young but very well balanced with a long life ahead. Only Manferrari can make a wine like this in Friuli. — 8 years ago
A well balanced Roero, expressing a strong bouquet with nice hints of spices. Soft enough tannins and warm finish. — 10 years ago
Tres surpris par ce vin Corse. Excellent. — 11 years ago
Beware, I’m sprinkling in some sweeter treats here…macerated 40 days after drying on the vine—yielding a very natural 107g/L residual sugar. Jammmmm-tastic like raspberry jam, a lick of acidity, and almost a hint of white chocolate—with air, a little leather shows up. Utterly craveable. — 3 years ago
Again from Chambers again outstanding. Had 2018 with Janet Bloomberg on 8/13/20 — 6 years ago
Beautiful light red semi dry with a little spice and lots of blackberry and smell of ocean and thyme and pepper. Needs to be chilled. — 7 years ago
Bright red. Sweet spice, ripe red cherry, licorice and flowers on the nose and in the mouth. Smooth and bright, and though not exactly the last word in concentration or complexity, this is downright irresistible in its juicy, fruity appeal. Podere Brizio recently changed ownership and now belongs to Dievole, the Chianti Classico producer (Podere Brizio’s previous owner, Roberto Bellini, is the man who sold the Chiesa di Santa Restituta estate to Gaja, who renamed it Pieve di Santa Restituta).

Could age longer. Slight bricking. Beautiful nose, candied violets. Not big, more linear but finishes with some definite length. Decanted for an hour and a half. — 9 years ago
