Conti Sertoli Salis
Torre della Sirena Terrazze Retiche di Sondrio White Blend
A really interesting white wine! Very fruity and somewhat acidic but still carries the tannins of a Nebbiolo. Held up nicely against a pasta with pumpkin sage cream sauce. Would love to have again! — 8 years ago

Albertone Vino Rosso
This red wine is obtained by a natural drying process after harvest. Thanks to this unique process the grapes develop an extremely intense and complex flavor and gives the Albertoni great strength and structure — 9 years ago

Torre d'Orti
Amarone Della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2021
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2021
Torre d’Orti – Veneto, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A traditional Amarone crafted primarily from Corvina (with Corvinone), Rondinella, and a small percentage of Molinara, produced using the appassimento method (partially dried grapes). 17% ABV. A powerful expression leaning rustic rather than refined in this vintage.
Aromas & Flavors
Dried cherry, baked plum, subtle fig, light cocoa, faint walnut and restrained raisin tones. Tertiary notes present but not deeply layered.
Mouthfeel
Full-bodied and structured with elevated alcohol. Firm tannins and a slightly edgy texture. Lacks the seamless velvety integration expected from more polished Amarone examples.
Food Pairings
Braised meats, aged cheeses, wild boar ragù, mushroom-based dishes.
Verdict
Technically correct and gastronomic, but did not fully deliver the plush refinement and layered complexity often associated with top-tier Amarone. Better at the table than as a contemplative standalone pour.
🍷 Did You Know?
Corvina is the aromatic backbone of Amarone, responsible for cherry and spice notes, while Rondinella contributes color and structure. Balance during drying is crucial, integration is everything. — 4 months ago

Moscato della Torre Moscato di Noto 2019
Smells like a muddled shaker of mosaic hops, Douglas fir, marijuana stems, and orange blossom honey. Earthy and floral and plenty of citrus too.
Allow it to warm to see full character and flavor. Flavors of grapefruit IPA become honeyed tangerine and jasmine. — 5 years ago
