believe this is Caprettone, grape i never heard of but this is a delightful wine from a DOC where i usually enjoy the red blends. this was a dull straw/greenish flecked color with an unusual nose of honeycomb, savory biscuit, herbaceous, minerals, funk, along with tart notes of some orchard fruit. we had with seafood pasta - working remarkably well. little age on this offered add'l intrigue & complexity, luxurious mouthfeel, lithe weight, balanced acidity. — 20 days ago

Quinta do Vesuvio Porto 2017

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh, ripe dark fruit and notes of sweet cacao and spice, blend of Touriga Nacional 60%, Touriga Franca 30% and Sousão 10%, and at 113 grams per liter of residual sugar. On the palate pronounced flavors of blackberry, ripe plum and currants with notes of cacao and espresso. Well balanced, fine tannins, still tight, long finish ending with ripe juicy fruit, spice and earthy character. Very Nice! I would wait another 5 years! — 9 months ago

Vigna Lapillo Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Rosso Aglianico Piedirosso

Some heft and hefty tannin from the aglianico; the piedirosso keeps it light on its feet. Had to drink some Napoli red with the New Haven style apizza. 2018 — a year ago

Comboio do Vesuvio Unoaked Douro Red Blend 2022

Nice natural honest style. Transparant. Ripe korrelige fijne tannines. Doet iets denken aan een cote rotie, rijp, zongebakken, zonder gestoofd te zijn. Met frecheur. — 8 months ago
