Vigna d'Alceo Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot Blend 2012

Love this type of wine. Nuanced and elegant, every sip revealing something new while the wine evolves in the glass. Wine making at its best. — 2 months ago

Riserva Vigna Paganelli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Huge potential. Needs decanting about 2-3 hours at least. Deep ruby, medium bodied, nose is strong of chilli, black pepper, dark fruits, peppermint. Strong tannins, strong acidity… bouquet opens to blueberries, goat cheese, herbs. — 2 months ago

Bricco Bussia Vigna Cicala Barolo Nebbiolo 1985

Wow, floral, faint road tar, this twin Barolo tastes 20 years younger than the Colonello, so rich, so YOUTHFUL, so complex, super long and lingering finish, really close to, if not there already, perfect!! — 2 months ago

Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and after 30 mins. Reticent nose. Medium-heavy body. Massive flavors and structure. Wouldn’t open it any time soon. Phenomenal now but so so intense. If you can Potsie it for a decade plus, do so. Another reminder as to why Barolo is the wine of kings. 11.01.24. — 25 days ago

Red cherries, raspberries, dried herbs, wet stone, and hints of ginger and cardamom. Lovely and definitely gives me a new appreciation for Barbera. — 2 months ago

Castello di Ama

Vigna l'Apparita Toscana IGT Merlot 2020

Considered the star of the CdA lineup, and similar to their chiantis which all have some Merlot blended in, but this was too much Merlot for me - had that plasticity I don’t love — 2 months ago
