Garofoli
Gioacchino Piancarda Rosso Conero
Marche, Italy
This is a Rosso Conero (now just Conero) that does not try to be something it’s not. Most Conero producers seem to want to have their wines be 2000s-styled “international wines,” replete with overextraction and lots of French oak. But this is perfectly within itself. Conero is supposed to be like this is: smoky, earthy, dark berries, tannins present but well-managed, good acids, please get me a bowl of pasta in a red meat sauce. Which I’m eating tonight. Thanks to my brother for giving this to me.

Jan 27th, 2022This Rosso Conero, despite myriad wine reference books saying it doesn’t age well, has aged well. Gravelly, earthy nose still has some nice fruit. Beautiful on the palate, with nice fruit/acid/tannin balance. Not super complex but so nice with our “Italian Boxing Day” extended family dinner
