Exceptional quality!! Blend is primarily Garganega that is rounded out with small amounts of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Trebbiano. Pale straw color. Plentiful aromas of tropical fruit, white flowers, wet slate and a light touch of smoke. Flavors of peach, cantaloupe, lemon zest and raw nuts. Beautiful volcanic mineral/saline thread on the long lasting and crisp finish. Medium bodied with a slightly waxy/mouth coating texture. Rich and savory. So hard to put down. Thanking Petey and Kase for selecting this beautiful Father’s Day wine. — 9 days ago

Great rosé for a Thanksgiving spread, although it’s a little early (from MCF Rare Wine’s list). Dry and lightly effervescent with a handy reusable bottle cap. Minerals and hay on the nose, currant, sour watermelon candy, dried grass. I’ve had a Stein Riesling before, and the fruit also had a hard candy-like quality. Quality Mosel producer! — 7 months ago

Second bottle of this. So comfortable in its own skin. Doesn’t try to impress, just fit in (with food, that is). Nose has bitter cherry, gravel, old mahogany furniture. Soft and fruity, but bone dry and with good acids and a little bitterness making the finish interesting. Great accompaniment to pasta with red sauce and sausage. — 5 years ago

Nose is bubbly cherries. Taste is fun, effervescent with strawberry and dry finish. This would trick the heck out of someone. Looks like a heavy red wine, but taste like a sparkling. Revival Market virtual event with Alessandro Medici from Italy. — 5 years ago

Gavi comes from small growing area in northwestern Italy located north of Genoa on steep slopes of Ligurian Apennines. White label is La Scolca’s everyday wine, an alternative to their “Black Label”. From Cortese di Gavi grape (younger vines), pale yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, extended lees aging. On the palate flavors of apple and lemon, nutty notes, nice mouthfeel. Medium finish, vivid acidity ending with a mineral character. Nice! — 4 months ago

Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2009 pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core and a burnished rim; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears and plenty of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe black fruits: black plum, salmiakki, mixed flowers, some nail polish, blood, wild herbs, a mix of organic and inorganic earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is long. It’s been several years since my last 2009 Pagliaro and it certainly hasn’t lost any of its potency. A special wine from a special vineyard cared for by a special producer. Drink now with a decant through 2039-ish. Bottle No. 3815/9570 — 5 months ago

@Ely Cohn pretty much read my mind with his notes. Moderate bricking on edges in glass - check, Dark cherry, raspberry nose, some cocoa and a touch of sous bois on the finish - check. The ultra-soft tannins were noticeable in their faintness. Lovely wine for the price which has aged nicely over seven years; likely near peak. #verona #corvina — 4 years ago

Pungent aroma at first, almost like a farm. But then it opens into sweeter notes like peach and stone fruits. Finishes with a strong minerality. Enjoyed with a fennel salad and couscous and it paired really well! — 4 months ago

Perhaps not as bone dry as the Lini lineup of Lambrusco but oh so good-w that RS somewhere in the background. Dark cherries, blackberries & frothy. Great bottle too( sturdy, substantial) at a very unsubstantial price ( under 12$). — 2 years ago

Color of bubbly egg white. Nose of ripe pineapple, mango, red apple, and sweet citrus. Taste is tinkling sweet and acidic citrus, some more tropical a bit zesty and salty. Aftertaste shows some more flowering and light honey note. Feels like a sweet bubbly Pinot Grigio. Quite clean. Not bad. — 5 years ago
