Merenda Sinoira

Sapél Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

9.2

An elegant drink-at-parties-with-your-pinky-up kind of wine.
Subtle sour apple and even subtler cherry and velvet mouth feel contrasted by a big finish.

Simple, beautiful and unique wine. GIven its “simplicity”, odd how few hot the target. I loved and I’m ordering more.

Like other ratings I saw…. I also got mine at Le volpi e l’uva in Florence. That place always delivers. Half wine store… half your favorite som. Best wine store on the planet. — 2 days ago

2006 Vigna Merenda from the Sarmassa hill. First of a four-pack. Gave it a quick aeration. Fragrant nose, whiffs of raspberry, loads of dark cherry. A little alcohol on the nose. Served a bit cold at first, but nice flavors of bright cherry, anis / licorice. Tight and still young. Next night after more time to breathe, much softer: more what seems to be expected from the Vigna Merenda. Glad I have a few more to work through over the next several years. — 11 years ago

9.0

Napa cab vibes. Big fruit. Biggish tannins. Is cran-lime a thing? Saliva still firing from the acid.

A little departure from most Nebbiolo, but I like it.

Excellent Chardonnay to accompany a fantastic “merenda sinoira” with Ferruccio and Anna in Monforte D’Alba. Paired with salami, tuna, stuffed peppers, stuffed chili pepper, hummus, marinated zucchini. Fantastic Saturday. — 7 years ago
