Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2020

This is a large-auditorium college intro class in Valtellina Nebbiolo. (In contrast to a graduate seminar led by Professor Marsetti or Professor Ar.Pe.Pe.) Loads of dried cherry fruit and winey old barrel scents on the nose. A bit of faded rose petals and stone. The light color looks fairly advanced. The palate is openly fruited initially, but has a bit of a tannic clench at the end. So the balance to be struck is drinking while the fruit is so nice but waiting to see if the tannins drop and soften. Not a long term project. Enjoy over the next few years would be my take, but I tend to favor things on the younger side. — 20 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, c’mon man, we’re just having fun, I LOVE reading your tasting notes and comments. Now that I’m retired, I’d be the first to admit that maybe I have WAY TOO MUCH free time for my smart ass comments to come out!! With that said, I AM (mildly? barely? not at all?) concerned about why you’re already invoking the 5th Amendment??!!?? 🤔😎😇

Worth the wait. 2007 on the mark. Tannins awake, funk-a-delicate on the initial palette which was pleasant and rustic. Love this wine. Professor Roth was right, all is good in the Universe! — 5 years ago

Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC Lambrusco 2021

I could not find the right labelling, but that is understandable since this is a super small thing
Professor Venturelli stays away from mainstream distribution and he is a benchmark reference for most of the good Sorbara producers
The wine is spotless, super refined and long
Sourcing these bottles is a venture, that is the issue. Sorbara has found its way to get to the people finally, a denomination, for the lambrusco, that truly is apart

Azimut Cava Brut Nature Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

Celebration time! The hubby is OFFICIALLY full professor. Got the letter from the university prez today. So to celebrate: cava brute nature. Aroma of pear with a dash of almond.. Zesty taste of lime, green apple, seashell and chalk. A little bitter at the end but I still like it. Good on its own or would be good to make cocktails out of. — 4 years ago
