At Moore Brothers tasting of Piemonte with Fung and Mary 1/25/25. Excellent small production white that has a biting texture softened by white fruits and complexity and long finish. β 2 months ago
First had in Bologna, then at Binnys! A treasure β 2 months ago
This has all the traits that make Etna Reds so attractive. Medium bodied , red fruited with pronounced minerality. Vines planted on the pure Ellittico lava flow terroir. Predominantly Nerello Mascalese. As many tasters previously have said of Etna Rosso, a hypothetical blend of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir. I will leave my last bottle for a couple of years. β 3 months ago
Deep ruby color, leaning toward garnet.
Aromas of dark fruit, herbs.
Dry. Flavors of black fruit, chalk, peppercorn, lavender, smoke, dried herbs, licorice,. Rich, chewy tannins. Tasty, but will improve by waiting another 5 to 10 years (and more!).
Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 4/5
Balance: 4/5

I adore this woman maker in the Dolomites, but my friends felt this white blend too suave for the setting (San Juan, PR) β 14 days ago
