@Delectable Wine This the Vigneti Costacurta winery and this wine is Colline Novaresi Tintaunita. Thanks!

Lovely cherry, lovey spice, lovely roses and tar. Very inviting nose. Good expansiveness. Juicy, mineral, cherries, fresh, rustic but charming.

Gorgeous deep red cherries that are so fresh with mint, cinnamon, sweet desiccated leaves and unreal roundness to the aromas. Really fantastic nose. Palate is lush and rustic with wonderful cherry fruit and kicking acidity. Needs some time but will round out and get less rustic as this wine tends to do. Palate needs to catch up to the nose. Sweetened up overnight and got less rustic. Killer. 9.0 to 9.1.

This is from Vignetti Costacurta di Costacurta Guido. Ghemme, Italy

Sweet red cherries and citrus blossom on the nose.
This encapsulates everything great about Northern Italian 'table wine'- drinkable, even gulpable with or without food but so much more elevated with a really nicely balanced acid to fruit ratio light but present tannins and a surprisingly lengthy finish.

9.3 nose, 8.8 on the palate. Still not bad at all given the price. Palate is quite bitter while still being pretty light, which overwhelms the very nice dark and berry fruit on the nose.

Saved a bottle of this for a few years to see what would happen and it's doing great! It's retained most of it's freshness but also gained some elegance. Think of the finer Pinots that are coming out of Oregon and you'll have some idea of what's here.
