Rich dark fruits, like blackberry jam, on the nose and palate with earthy, minerally undertones. Medium body, soft acid and tannins making it very balanced and very easy drinking!!

I is for Inzolia, one of tbe three grapes blended to make Marsala. A little nutty, a little citrusy, a good bit of acid but the thicker body gives a deceiving perception of some sweetness. Nice as an aperitif before dinner, and the nutty flavors came out when paired with chicken marsala. #atoz2021 — 5 years ago

Z is for Zweigelt. Deep fruit aromas... plums and blackberries. Tart fruit acidity, a rounder body than expected, and some black peppery tannins that linger with the tart fruit tingle. Very balanced in the end with a long finish. #atoz2021 — 4 years ago

V is for Vernaccia di Pergola. Ripe red fruits aromas... cherries and strawberries... tart cherry acid with a medium- body, earthy undertones and lingering drying tannins do a pretty good job of balancing the fruit. #atoz2021 — 5 years ago

Q is for Quinquina. Smells like a fortified wine with slight currant aromas, a good amount of acid gets the tongue tingling, the raisin and currant aromas come through the flavors but the body is light compared to a sherry or tawny port. A very nice aperitif... and we'll see how it does in a cocktail! #atoz2021 — 5 years ago

Y is for Yellow Muscat. Ripe peaches and floral aromas. Full bodied and almost syrupy with honey and canned peach sweetness. Even better than Orange Muscat, especially on a snowy winter day!! #atoz2021 — 4 years ago

8.2

X is for Xinomavro. Intense fruit-forward aromas of plums and red cherry, with underlying herbal notes of anise. Light body, bright acidity and drying tannins, but they aren't as intense as I expected with all of the comparisons to Nebbiolo. The red cherry comes through in the tart acid, with some herbal and tobacco notes. #atoz2021 — 4 years ago
