Emidio Pepe

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 1983

Oh such a lovely wine. 1983 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Recorked in 2023. Such a beautiful nose. Opened without decanting, but gave it 25-30 minutes. Palette still needs to open a bit. Enjoyed before it really opened with the Lumache (duck and goose with ricotta): delicious but still not open enough. Then ordered the prime rib and it really opened up after more than an hour open. Nose remained so pretty but the palate really got going. Tertiary flavors of leather, earth and spice, yet with a nice touch of red fruits (cherry). BYOB BTW. — 3 days ago

Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2017

Brief notes at a good Italian restaurant in Sanctuary Cove. We don’t often drink Amarone but we love it when we do. Rich and supple, blackberry like liquid Fruit and Nut milk chocolate. Touch of liquorice. An excellent match with Beef Ragu with Pappardelle pasta. — 16 days ago

At a tasting tonight where the '18 was poured, green on the nose but the palate was textbook. Nice, but didn't but any

We enjoyed the 2017 but as I said in the description we don’t drink a lot of Amarone. I have some big guns in the cellar which are approaching maturity.

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2019

Medium to light ruby , wide ruby garnet rim . Spiced red cherries , with raspberry jam , menthol , grafite , liquorice touches. On the palate juicy spiced sweet red fruits with those liquorice notes and dried herbs. Good balancing acidity and velvety but grippy tannins and slightly noticeable alcohol. Good length with a liquorice, cherry tinged finish. Enjoyable now though will age well over the next 10 years or so . — 23 days ago
