Cantine Antonio Caggiano

Macchia dei Goti Taurasi Aglianico 2020

New-mown hay, blackberry brambles on the nose. Intensely fruit forward, but not sweet or cloying. Raspberries and blackberries. Light tannic structure, with mint and back pepper low notes, but it develops a pleasing minerality on its surprisingly long finish. I don’t know anything about this vintage, but it seems like it was grown on volcanic soils. The front reminds me of a Beaujolais Nouveau, but the finish is much more complex. A unique profile combination that I’ve never tasted before. Lovely. — 5 days ago

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2000

Floral, tarry, delicate candied red fruits as well, great acidity and balance, likely very close to fully mature, but the combination of delicacy and depth is intoxication, great old Spanna!! — 3 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, I agree, I haven’t seen these in the marketplace much, I just posted on a 2003, and also have a few bottles of 1996 Boca left. But, your quality assessment is spot on!!

Boscarelli (Marchesi de Ferrari Corradi)

Prugnolo Rosso di Montepulciano Sangiovese Blend 2023

Easter pour 🐣. Happy Easter to all who celebrate. The nose is full of cherries, wild strawberries, leather, tar, delicate oak notes. The palate is showing a good acid drive, superb balance, nice cherry and wild strawberry notes all along, some width, a silky, soft texture that evolves toward the middle of the palate when tannins kick in. Tannins are caressing, slightly disrupting the mouthfeel instead of destroying it, adding only a layer of complexity over an otherwise silky and fruity finish. A tiny oaky, bitter note pops in the very end. It's very good 👍 — a month ago

Great find!!

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2003

Spicy dried red fruits with a touch of tar underneath, I detect that this 2003 is a touch more structured and tannic than the great 2000 I had a few days ago, long finish, great acid, still quite fresh (plus 12.5% ABV), excellent!! — 3 months ago
