Torrette, Valle d'Aosta, Italy
Rustic and gamey. Like a dolcetto (in body) and Cote rotie (on nose) had a lovechild. Baked tart red cherry and mulling spices.

Probably past it's aging arc but only just slightly. Crunch red fruit that is musky and starting to be dried red fruits, moderate spices accent the wine.

Nov 19th, 2022Simply put, the best $20 bottle of wine I’ve had in a very long time, maybe ever. 80% petite rouge, 20% other grapes like fumin, mayolet, and doucet. The nose was tremendous, rising from the glass like perfume, elegant but dense and persistent. Reminded me of a 1er red burgundy meets aged Barolo nose and palate…tertiary red cherry and berries, crushed dried flowers, subtle sandalwood spice, really, really complex! Age your Torrette!

Like a barnyard at first with strawberries on the palate. But after an hour it was much more fruit forward with wild cherries and a floral note.

Feeling pretty neutral about this bottle. It has potential but came with some flaws that I couldn't get past.
