Abbazia S.S. Annunziata

Barolo Nebbiolo 1967

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 1967 Abbazia SS Annunziata Barolo pours a pale, slightly hazy garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of desiccated Morello cherry, dried red flowers, leather, and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This bottle of the ‘67 has lost most of its power at this point but it still has a story to be told. Drink now. — 16 hours ago

Abbazia San Giorgio

Orange Bianco Muscat of Alexandria 2021

Perfect to sip in the late summer sun by the pool. The notes of apricot are a delightful, refreshing surprise. — 2 years ago

Alto Adige - Valle Isarco Kerner 2020

Started out fruit forward, plums, blackberries. After a little more air, it mellowed, and the rich tannins and earthiness shown thru. An hour plus in a decanter is needed. Then it is more of an old world Bordeaux. Stews, lamb, short ribs. — 8 months ago

Praepositus Riserva Pinot Nero 2020

Fresh & aromatic and very enticing.
Red fruits with a healthy pinch of baking spice, a touch of cloves, a bit of a darker note underneath (undergrowth, blue fruit, tree bark). Fresh & very enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate, with quite a tannic (polished!) grip and bright acidity nicely balanced and with good depth. A richer, heavier style and yet so drinkable. Quite delicious indeed! Perfect a duck breast in orange sauce.

Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler Sauvignon 2023

山のミネラルとソービニヨンらしい青さがなんとも爽快。
それでいて、キレのある酸の伴った果実。
ソービニヨン好きにはたまらない一本。

Praepositus Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler Sylvaner 2022

By far the best one from their white range.
Aged partially in acacia barrels, this shows a lovely blend of ripe pears, a touch of underripe white peach, a fresh herby mineral note - quite round yet so clean & precise.
Quite some presence on the palate. Medium body, zingy mineral acidity, beautiful mineral depth. Almost as if a slight tannic bite. Great balance & purity, beautiful long finish.
Blind I would have taken this for a racy Pinot Blanc.
Such a nice one!
