Rara Neagră

Sergio Barbaglia

Curticella Uva Rara Rosé

Damn. Still one of my favorite roses. Made by the old man.

Nose: fascinating. Red roses. Mineral. Toast. Lemon flower.

Palate: mineral cherries. So bright. Linear. Perfect. So clean. Flawless. Like. A diamond. Complex. Fruit. Acidity. Grippy yet weightless.

Long.

Champagne lovers should buy this by the case.

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Boca Nebbiolo Blend 2010

Great example of what a Spanna from Alto Piemonte can be. Volcanic soil, traditional process and a great family. Red berries orange peel mint plenty of acid and low alcohol lightens the package. The bottle went empty quickly. — 9 months ago

Podere ai Valloni

Gratus Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo Uva Rara 2018

Really a very nice alto Piemonte. Such a refined and perhaps even gentle Nebbiolo. Tannins relatively smooth which surprised me a bit. Wonderful refreshing acid and nice finish. Delicious pairing with iberico pork on the grill. — 2 months ago

Cantine del Castello Conti

Boca Nebbiolo Blend 2015

Old-school Italian wine that is perfect for pizza. Somewhat thin and alcoholic but typical of wines served in Italian restaurants in Brooklyn when I was small. Flavorful and a perfect match to the marinara sauce of New York Patsy’s Pizzeria or Joe & Pat’s. — 3 months ago

Vigneti Valle Roncati

Roano Sizzano Nebbiolo Blend 2015

Purcari

Freedom Blend Bastardo Blend 2031

Uncorking this bottle resurrects this masterpiece. Every sip is a flavorful journey as it comes back to life with each breath. The character and body remain elusive. TBD. — 3 months ago

Tenuta Monolo

Riserva Bramaterra Nebbiolo Blend 1989

Was worried for a sec but ultimately a solid showing — 3 months ago
