Riserva Lessona Red Blend 2019

Backward. Searing structure on pnp, but then opened to show dried cranberry/sweet pomegranate with not subtle spice. Best on day 3, grumpy before. — 21 days ago

Lessona Nebbiolo 2016

100% Spanna. My first example from this producers. Many wines from Alto Piemonte are blends as allowed but not this. Sour cherry mint tobacco tar dried herbs. Traditionally made with no heavy oak. Could age longer to see morev tertiary aspects come up. — 6 months ago

La Psigula Azienda Vitivinicola

Bramaterra Red Blend 2020

Pop and pour. An absolutely gorgeous Bramaterra. On the nose: pure red fruit, soft tar and blood orange. On the palate: lovely delicacy, zingy acidity and balanced weight: pomegranate, black cherry, tangy red fruit and a long finish, showing slightly grainy tannin. At this point, the most consistently stunning Bramaterra I've had. Wow. — 11 days ago

Rosa del Rosa Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo Rosé 2023

Good rose, mostly savory and herbal, some salty. Maybe a little fruit, but feels mostly savory to me, nose maybe with some violet. — 3 months ago

Tenute Sella

Majoli Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo Rosé 2022

Enjoyed this wine, paired with Mie Gorang (Indonesian noodles). This fuller bodied rose has a fair bit of tannins that balanced the intensity of the dish while matching the aromas well. Fairly citrusy and floral. Not much on the nose. Finish is a lingering sweetness on the back of the palate. Very interesting rosè, would love to have again. — 12 days ago
