Rara Neagră

Fattoria Cabanon

Infernot Rosso 2018

Acidità spaziale, tannino perfetto, grande intensità al naso e in bocca. Morbidezze perfettamente bilanciate. Persistenza non lunghissima. — 2 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. — 9 months ago

Freedom Blend Bastardo Blend 2020

My first wine I’ve ever tasted from Moldova. Jancis Robinson reviewed it in Financial Times January 27 2023. Tasting and decanting now… purple, very good clarity. Aromas of leather (wood) and strawberry, flavors of strawberry and cherry with wood, light to moderate seed and skin tannins on finish. Light bodied but solid tannin structure. Needs at least 60 minutes to decant. 24 hours later, tasting really well, some real character. A worthy red table wine — 2 years ago

Rara Avis Yakima Valley Grenache 2017

New vintage. Ruby red, excellent clarity. Moderate pigment extraction. Red fruit, cherry peel and berry flavors with a graphite, black pepper, black olive and seed bitterness finish. Tangerine peel aftertaste. Dense flavor profile, good acid, not your typical WA state Grenache. — 4 years ago

Riserva Bramaterra Nebbiolo Blend 1989

Last of my bottles & a bit sad to see it go- these were soulful wines, demanding not just in managing & extracting their corks but in leaning in to taste what they have to say. After a double decant & cheesecloth/strainer, tasted over 2 days, using a half bottle for day 2. What I loved was the wholeness & evocativeness of the wine, with all the parts having melded; fairly closed on nose but by day 2 old forest floor, rose hips, & black tea leaves; on palate all that & rose petals, dried cherries. The drinking window is closing as previous Delectable users have noted, but what a cool sunset. — 7 months ago

Good question: a previous Delectable review said 60% Nebbiolo / 20% Croatina / 10% Vespolina / 10% Uva Rara but I think that’s the portion of grapes planted in the vineyard, not the wine. But I’ll stick with those proportions!!@Joshua Fisher !bb

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.

Roano Sizzano Nebbiolo Blend 2015

Agree with @Lyle Fass ‘s review the nose is something special. Enticing. Medicinal/iodine, foliage, leather. Palate needs time, still just a bit primary at the moment with a touch of heat. Resolved after 6-7 hrs. Lovely wine and just the thing with a lasagna on a cooler summer night. — 2 years ago

So glad you like this. It’s a great wine.

Frecciarossa

Provincia di Pavia Uva Rara

Tasty but also pricey. Garnet color. Raisin, tobacco, leather on the nose. Musty funk. Quite acidic but tannic enough. Would definitely buy again, just not sure it’s worth the $30 price point (even on sale) — 2 years ago
