Briny, tart, with fun apple notes. Love it more after time in bottle than when it was first released. — 5 years ago

Super unique one-off Dolcetto - accidentally harvested late and they turned it into a wine that’s drinking well almost 20 years later. Definite earthy notes that are on the same level of cherry and plum tones. — 7 years ago

So happy to have opened this up and seen how well it held up. So sad I didn’t see how it was just a little longer in the bottle. — 7 years ago

Excellent. Smoke, cherry, and a redwood forest like note. Super soft but present tannins and acid is still bright. Very grateful for this one. — 6 years ago

Truly his best iteration of Donnaluna Fiano. Captures the herbaceous scrub of Paestum with the body of Fiano. — 7 years ago

A lot stewier and slightly higher in alcohol than I remember from prior vintages but still an exemplary Salice Salentino. Love Li Veli’s work. — 6 years ago
