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 — 3 years ago
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. — 5 months ago


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

Very light colored wine, but dense in flavor. Mouth-coating cedar overlays the cherry, plum, and rose hip medley. A bit astringent. Maybe not the perfect pairing, but it works well with chicken piccata. Would be really nice with pork medallions.
