Monleale Colli Tortonesi Barbera 2015

Peppery plum is really shining through on this one. Red licorice and dried spice accents. Tannic grape skin gives it some grip. Long raisin finish. Like the Sun-Maid boxes I ate as a kid. A little sweet for me, but still good quality. Also added some to the passata I’m making from heirloom tomatoes, and it’s quite nice. — a month ago

Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Gonna have a hard time leaving my last three bottles laying down for any period of time. Chicken parm and a truffle oil pasta are a righteous pairing. — 2 months ago

Claudio Mariotto

Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2019

Golden yellow in colour and nicely aromatic with dried herbs, summer meadow, hints of chamomile, plus some ripe yellow peach in the background. Rich yet salty, fresh & quite savoury.
Medium bodied on the palate, beautifully balanced with ripe peach countered by salty minerality and dried herbs.
This has quite some character so works very nicely with food (risotto milanese!!) less so for sipping solo.

Fontanafredda

Gavi del Comune di Gavi Cortese 2022

Pale lemon with aromas of fresh stone fruits, citrus and salty floral notes, made with the Cortese grape. On the palate flavors of pear, apple and lemon citrus with lively acidity and blossom notes. Medium savory finish ending with citrus and floral mineral character. Nice! — 3 months ago

Citrus forward with notable viscosity in a way so many skin contact wines could only dream of. — a month ago

Villa Sparina

Gavi Cortese 2023

Clean, nicely balanced, citrus flavor but not too acidic, paired well with a light oil-based pasta. Great value for the price point. — 2 months ago

La Scolca

Black Label Bianco Secco Gavi Cortese

Apples and grapefruit, most certainly little bit of a mineral in the finish. However, we just spent the whole afternoon drinking gin and tonics in the infinity pool here in Bermuda so pretty much anything will taste good.  — 4 months ago
