Fuoripista Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio 2018

Amphora, skin contact Pinot Grigio from Foradori. What’s not to like. This is amped up Pinot Grigio, savory, a little tannic and delicious. — 3 months ago

Exedra Amphora Single Wine Garnacha Blend 2021

As a recent American arrival to Catalunya whose only prior exposure to Spanish reds was Tempranillo from Rioja, I had a few false starts. Just when I was despairing that my new home might be the Temecula of Europe, some friends ordered this lovely Garnaxa for our table: delicate, lightly floral nose, strawberries and a hint of leather. I rather imagine everyone secretly wondered if they were given their fair share when it was all gone. — 7 months ago

Pithos Rosso Vittoria Nero d'Avola Frappato 2020

Actually 100% Nero in this vintage, only 11% ABV. Amphora aged, actually prefer this bottling to the non-Amphora Nero. Mainly black fruited, a little chalky. Very smooth and easy drinking. Great with pizza. — 2 years ago

Herdade Do Rocim

Amphora Branco Alentejo White Blend 2019

Light straw in color with a golden hue.

Strong nose of yellow apples, spices, minerals, lemons, earth, orange peel, herbs and overripe citrus fruits.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with over ripened apples, citrus, cream, spices, light vegetables, light peaches, herbs, earth, limes and black pepper.

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy limes.

This is Is a very interesting white blend from Portugal. Although crisp, it has a light buttery feel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Better when not too cold, and after 20 minutes of airtime.

This is not my usual style, but I really enjoyed it.

Paired wonderfully with a Mediterranean dish of baked eggplant drizzled with Tahini.

A blend of 40% Antao Vaz, 20% Perrum, 20% Rabo de Ovelha and 20% Manteudo. Grapes are fermented and aged in amphora clay vessels with indigenous yeast.
A small production of only 4,000 bottles. Organic and vegan.

12% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$21.

Fontanasanta Vigneti Delle Dolomiti Nosiola 2022

First wine night back in Australia, but still talking Italian (first wine watching Sinner's win in Melbourne)
The white is spotless
The one and only dry nosiola to this level
If you put this bottle covered in a Burgundy tasting it wouldn't be easy to spot

Elegant, whispered, still young and long

Super clean, no sulphites
Fermented in amphora

Complex yet delicate. 2015 vintage is in a great spot. Pinot Gris can be interesting and this proves it. — 8 months ago

A disappointment from the recent library offer. Not oxed, but close. No acid, no energy. — 2 years ago

To be fair this awoke on day two with some acid but still substantially incoherent.
