Amicone Veneto Red Blend 2020

Superb wine with rich berries, a wonderful nose and very low tannins. Very ready to drink immediately with no more aging and no decanting needed. This pairs nicely with pasta, pork, grilled red meats and hard cheeses. Some crusty bread and good dipping oil on the side. Yum!! — 2 months ago

Era Ora Langhe Riesling 2021

Light yellow in color with a golden hue.

Nice Riesling nose with diesel notes and citrus.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Showing citrus, ripped lemons, apples, spices, light diesel and light honey.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a tangy finish.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$30.

Archetipo Colli Tortonesi Terre di Libarna Timorasso 2021

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

@Ceccherini Cristiano Cec, see my 2 notes on the Massa Timorasso - 2 vintages how he grubbed out his Cortese vines and planted Timorasso, essentially saving the latter and reviving the planting of the grape.

Timorasso is on my hitlist of grapes that need more attention

@Bob McDonald in that case agree on that, when the cortese is in the wrong area take it off, but when you mention the Docg Gavi i don't think there is point. Plus who knows if the timorasso might grow well there...perhaps it could be a good recommendation 😅😅.
