Obscure Cannaiolo and Bonamico grape varietals in equal parts, well crafted in steep Cinque Terre. Delicious. — 9 months ago
2018 - wonderful balance and medium body and the tannins are light — 10 months ago
A well made version of vermentino.
Nose is aromatic lemon extract. Very fresh and clean. Very Italian. Some richness as it opens.
Palate is nicely mineral and balanced. Light gods lemon soda. Very sprightly on the palate. A hint of lemon pith. Richer as it opens. Great acidic balance.
Something in new wants to try this in 7 years for some reason.
Would be awesome with crudo.
It’s one of those wines that is an incredibly great version of what it’s supposed to be.

My first Timorasso. At first a bit dainty & shy on the nose; crushed nectar pits, white flowers, some white peach & artichoke hearts. On palate very textured, like Huet Chenin, but in a parallel universe. Minerally & reserved, this feels like it could go decades more- which is my understanding it can. The aroma notes are echoed on palate, with additional quince & pale fig notes, with a very slight off dry character (overall quite dry). For about 26$ a steal— I guess it’s a hard sell, this Timarosso.. This can either run as a food wine or not, & it’s delicious. — 7 months ago
Quite easy on the system, very drinkable — a year ago
This winery used to be quite commercial, but with the new generation coming on board they left everything behind.
They turned into a minimal intervention venture.
They inherited the fairly old vines, but the changed approach gives a completely different perspective.
This nero d'Avola is extremely out of the ordinary.
It's bright, crunchy, crisp, luminous, fresg, clean and, to my surprise for when i taste nero d'Avola, very elegant, very French like elegancy.
I think of Beaujolais or of some new style crunchy South Australian grenache.
This wine is fun to drink, not cerebral, i recommend you give it a go. If you don't like it, bring it to me.
Not expensive at all. — 8 months ago
Created in 1981, Terre Alte is considered one of Italy's most prestigious white wines, blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon grapes, estate-grown at Rosazzo in the historic Terre Alte vineyards. Pale lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits and wonderful floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and slight lemon citrus with honey floral notes and lively acidity. Smooth finish ending with fruit and sweet mineral notes. Very nice! — 9 months ago
