Igneous nose with pear, grapefruit and grilled grapefruit, baked lemon and oregano. Lemon driven with grapefruit pith and lime. Solid acidity here lifting a ton of flavor. White pepper and white grapefruit finish. Great!

Olive tapenade, wet leather, ripe red plum and black cherry tart, cola with dark rose aromas. Medium mouthfeel with currants, dried black cherry, black olive, button portobello mushroom. Firmly tannic, with a dried violet, and bitter blood orange/pekoe. #northernitalianwines #barbera #croatina #buttafuoco #italianredwine #TreDonne #Giorgi — 8 years ago

Funky bunch bordering on sulfur dissipated to well water, then to a buttery jasmine with notes of grapefruit zest and desert nettle. Ripe, gelatinous citrus lineup of grapefruit, lime, lemon, persimmon and yeast-wheat bread with a dry, gingery,substantial finish. #Giorgi #bubbles #topzero #GiorgiTopZero #sparklingwine #OltrepoPavese #italianwines #Italian #wine #northernitalianwines — 6 years ago

Big violets!! Rose flavored gum, orange spiced tea, meaty initially, but just a smoky salami ghost after. Enhanced by Brazzola (spelling): air dried thinly sliced meat. So slap this twisted beast with salami! #Gattinara #Nebbiolo #NorthernItalianwines — 10 years ago

Underripe wild strawberry, clove, smoke and blood orange rind, holly berry, dried rose petal and lemon threads interweaving electrically. Very lemony pink grapefruit on the palate drying immediately. Tangerine pith, chalky, with dried star fruit, bing cherry, marigold, and shadows of tar. #nebbiolo #valtellina #chiavennasca #northernitalianwines #Rainoldi #brutrosé #bubbles #sparklingwine #obscure #brut — 8 years ago
