Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2018 “Il Rosso delle Donne” pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart, mostly red fruits: Morello cherry, raspberries, strawberry, roses, a whiff of horse blanket, red rope licorice, dried green herbs, and dry gravel. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is a slightly wild but positively gorgeous example of a Nebbiolo-based blend from Alto Piemonte. There’s an old school feel about this that completely charms the heart. Too bad there is so little of it: the entire Boca DOC has less than 50 acres planted to vine. Castello Conti only made 3912 bottles of this gem. Drink now through 2048+. — a year ago

Castello de Carboncine Reserva 1988. We were surprised how the cork was in perfect condition for a 27 years old wine.

The color was an intense cherry violet, with a smooth aromas of dark berries with a hint of oak. In palate was as velvet it can be.

For an old wine was holding excellent! — 11 years ago

Sappy cherries, herbs, tobacco, loam. Very complex and structured for a wine with 5yrs. Delicious and calls for a Tuscan T-bone or even Hunter's Style Chicken. — 12 years ago
