9.0

The hotel restaurant is closed for a huge party. I worked a little magic to order privately some pasta in the other restaurant which is not open. Saluti! “Cent'anni!”

Local Alghero, Sardinia Cabernet.

It is certainly dark currants, dark chocolate, blackberries, black raspberries, the darkest cherries-poached/baked, strawberries the same way, blackberries plum, mocha powder, moist tobacco, soft used leather, crushed rock powder, oak barrel powdery (don’t believe they use a lot of new wood here) dry top soil, dry herbs, dry twig, hint of menthol, dark, rich turned earth, withering dark flowers & red roses round acidity, well balanced, nicely tensioned, elegant and smartly polish finish that land on spice and lasts two-minutes.

È uno specchio orribile, almeno da questa angolazione. Non viaggi con i tuoi bicchieri? Ho amici che dicono che il vino in Italia è molto migliore di quello italiano che si trova qui. Io sorrido e saluto. Forza Dodgers!

Orbello Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo Blend 2022

A love letter to what an every day drinking Alto Piemonte red can be — feather light, high toned, floral, spiced (star anise), earthy and fragrant. All the pomegranates. Finished the trip where we started. — 2 years ago

What do they blend with the Nebbiolo ?

Adriana Fabbro

@Joshua Fisher looked it up and actually much lower in Nebbiolo than I thought (only ~50%). The rest is a blend of barbera, Croatina, vespolina with a touch of cab!

Nose of sandalwood. Lots of strawberries and cherries. Light tannins. This one is lighter- bodied than others I’ve had. Complimented nicely the Pasta Amatriciana. — 4 months ago

Majoli Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo Rosé 2022

Jody Wycech

9.0

Enjoyed this wine, paired with Mie Gorang (Indonesian noodles). This fuller bodied rose has a fair bit of tannins that balanced the intensity of the dish while matching the aromas well. Fairly citrusy and floral. Not much on the nose. Finish is a lingering sweetness on the back of the palate. Very interesting rosè, would love to have again. — 10 months ago
