La Stoppa
Trebbiolo Rosso Barbera Bonarda
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Barbera & Bonarda blend from an Emilia Romagno maker. I love this style- gave a good 45+ min decant. Imagine the Bonarda offsets the Barbera fruitiness. Keeps a taut line btw vegetal acidity & that earthy fruitiness. Natural maker of some serious orange wines. 13% alcohol. Didn’t hurt that we drank at sunset, on the Hudson River at home.

All that natural funk you love plus the plum/blackberry fruit you want. Needs food.

A little stinky upon opening them the stank to drank ratio shifts to beautiful juicy, brambly raspberry fruit with a framing bit of savory earthiness and tannins to balance the exuberance. Re-buy with conviction!

Deep ruby. Ripe, expressive aromas and flavors of red berries, black cherry, licorice and violet. Wonderfully juicy, lively and mouthfilling, offering a subtle savory character but also plenty of inner-mouth perfume and energy. A lovely wine. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, Jan 2018)
