Ronchi di Cialla

Colli Orientali del Friuli Schioppettino di Cialla 2016

A new tasting experience on several levels. Had never heard of or tasted this grape varietal, Schioppettino. I was looking for a lighter red off the menu at Settimo, Guy Grossi’s new Brisbane venture. Chosen purely because of its location in Friuli ie. cooler climate. The Somm was in the dark but the wine ended up being a revelation. Red cherry and cranberry - intense white pepper on nose and palate. Dried red florals. Love this style. Will be on the lookout for this Cuvée in the future. — a year ago

North east Italy is a hidden gem for wines.
Right up against the Dolmite Mountains, warm days, cool nights.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige really deliver.
Foradori, Franz Haas and Alois Lageder
are producers I look for.

Totally agree Jamie. I generally love cooler climate wines. In Italy the Valle d’Aosta is another example next to the Swiss Alps in the north west.

Absolutely.
Pinot Nero…(Pinot Noir) .. from Lombardy will impress you.

Donnafugata

Anthìlia Sicilia Catarratto

Primarily made with the native Cataratto grape, this Sicilian white features fresh and fruity aromas of yellow apple, peach, white flowers and a touch of lemon zest. Same fruits on the pallet. Hint of saline on the finish. Mild (but tangy) acidity helps this wine to be quite thirst quenching and refreshing. Straw gold color and lovely texture. — 4 years ago

Kyè Langhe Freisa 2021

This is a new grape variety for me from Langhe.

Reddish in color with a purplish hue.

Showing strawberries, raspberries, tart cranberries, light herbs, earth and dark chocolates.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins.

A very interesting dry red from Langhe. Feels like Nebbiolo.

100% Freisa grapes were aged for 9 months in mostly large Slavonian oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$60.
