Riserva Copertino Negroamaro

Funky, spicy, but with plenty of bright cherry to balance. Loud and proud, not particularly balanced but it’s working for this wine. Great with pizza. — 18 days ago

San Giorgio Spumante Erbaluce di Caluso

Sparkling Erbaluce in Alba from benchmark producer. Learned that outside of Canavese, the name Erbaluce cannot be used. It seems that sometimes the Italians - and Alto Piedmontese (a name we in the US bestowed on a them) let their hyper local regional alliances and squabbles - undermine their global marketability.

Cantine Briamara

Barbapreve Canavese Barbera

Like this one a lot. A very bright, fresh, mineral, sappy Barbera, not quite like any other I’ve had. Crunchy red fruit, roasted sweet cherry tomato, a touch of menthol on the noise. A soft herbal quality, medium plus acids and good structure. Tannins are firm but never astringent and soften nicely with about an hour of air. Would decant next time. — 4 years ago

Gattinara Nebbiolo 2015

9.2

Nicely aged Nebbiolo. Nose a combination of lifted fresh and dried roses, strawberry, hint of caramel, earthy mushroom compost. Slightly dusty. On the palate a nice, silky texture without rough tannic edges and a good dose of acidity. Strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry. Decent length. A nice pairing with homemade carbonara. — 2 months ago
