From Black To White Veneto White Blend

Feared it was over the hill but still in the sweet spot. 13% alcohol. Reminds me of Altesse based wines. — 9 months ago

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1985

Excellent. Drank the 1985 in 2021 for my 36th birthday. The color was still good, the nose was wonderful, the legs were as slow as molasses. Great wood notes. When we opened it, we did break the cork. The cork was longer than usual and longer than our screw. It was salvaged with a chopstick and there was only one speck of cork found in the wine. Incredibly low sediment for the age — maybe a shot glass of sediment was left in the bottle when we tipped it. — 3 years ago

Cá del Magro Custoza Superiore Garganega Blend 2020

2020 vintage.
A field blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscana, Manzoni, Tocai Friulano , Cortese, Chardonnay, Riesling Italico, and Malvasia.
Custoza is in the hills of Lake Garda. Magro vineyard is small and 30 plus years old. White spring flowers, citrus and ginger on the nose. Medium bodied and off-dry with an underlying acidity. Yellow stone fruits with apple, pear and ripe persimmon.
This wine paired well with Spaghetti alla Vongole with local clams.

Greoto Bianco di Custoza Garganega Blend 2019

Pretty golden color, mouth filling and fruity but dry. Golden delicious apple, melon rind, Marcona almond and pleasing mildly spicy tingle on the finish. An affable wine that goes down easy but is fun to savor! — 4 years ago

È! Orange Nascetta Blend

Funky Bosc pair at the open and Muscat sweetness at the finish.

Would be great on a nice summer day.

La Cresta Barbera d'Alba Barbera 2018

Great! A plum and leather with smoke (from smokehouse). But, I think, the acidity is the key. Like a final touch. — 3 years ago
