Wild, peppery alpine strawberries. Pomegranate. Beautiful translucent color in the glass. — 22 days ago

This is a wine from the Pelaverga grape, which I learned was almost extinct decades ago. Reminiscent of Pinot noir with bold contrasts of strawberries and floral notes and an edge of acid and bitters. Level and elegant and also easy to drink. — 5 months ago

Four out of five first place blind votes. Transparency and a bricking meniscus led us down an aged Barolo path. That was wrong. A Pelaverga ringer that articulates power notes. Crazee delicious and still correct. — 2 years ago

Pleasure. Light. Clean. Good acidity, medium tannin. Good introduction to northern Italian wines for the uninitiated. — a month ago

Seems very light but actually taste is rich and the wine has strong tannins. Surprisingly mature smell. — 10 months ago

This wine shows a medium dark ruby color in the glass. The nose is clean and savory, with dark fruit shining through a haze of earthy tones. On the palate, the flavor of bright red cherries takes charge. It is a fresh mouthful with zippy acidity and gentle tannins. Among the winery’s recommendations for pairing is eel, which is maybe the oddest pairing suggestion I’ve ever seen on a winery website. It does sound good, though. I had mine with a soppressata sandwich slathered with some spicy black olive tapenade, and it was great.
