RS (Rosso Sasa) Merlot Pignolo 2018

Pours maroon, feels purple velvet.

Unashamed acetone, like the best nail polish and wild jungle juice. Dark plums and raspberries with a sweet midnight pruney core.

Sweet and tart and pulpy and a good ride if you raised your hand and signed the waiver.

Colli Orientali del Friuli Schioppettino 2013

New producer to me
Apparently he has been a benchmark for pignolo and schioppettino for a long time
Wine style is big
Wines get released after many years depending when he thinks they are ready
The schioppettino gave me the best impression
Fruit, spices(coriander seeds and white pepper) and a bit of incense
You keep swirling you will get more and more
Very long
Hard to find and a bit pricey

Moschioni makes some modern, polished wines but they are really well-made and have something special about them. Their Celtico Rosso needs a lot of time

I tried that too, they are all very fascinating. Strangely he only keeps a small amount for Italy..perhaps we are not the best payers🤣🤣

RS18 Merlot Pignolo 2018

RS18 is a sublime texture of crimson velvet sweatpants and also a rich concentrated core of saturated sweet stewed fruits. A total standout. Some won't tolerate. This is unapologetically raw and oozing with VA. But like it or not, this is an experience and I like experiences.

Deep aromas of spiced cranberry and apple cider turn to flavors of syrupy dates and grape jelly. Plays tricks on the mind. Is this really sweet? Or just perception?
