Campania with copains! — a year ago
This one took an hour or so to open up, but once it did it was amazing! Baking spices and dark fruit on the nose and palate. The varietal composition for this wine seems to vary by vintage, but this '18 was all merlot. Funny, this bottle was a substitution for a different one that ended up being out of stock. I think I enjoyed this one more than I would have enjoyed my first choice! 100% Merlot. 2/5/23. — 2 years ago
Delicious pet nat. Sediment in the neck, which drifts into the glass- but that’s all there is to complain about. 80% Sangiovese 20% Aleatico. Dry, med/full body, perfect before dinner all in its own. — a month ago
Nuova Italia, Ilchester. Fruity and slightly unexpectedly sweet. Berries, fruit. Enjoyable enough. — 8 months ago
Very nice (haha, get it?). Seriously a beautiful wine all around but at $30/bottle you get what you pay for. Opaque purple color. Black cherry, chocolate, peppercorn, vanilla, and a hint of spruce tips on the nose. Cinnamon and strawberry taste, super complex. FULL bodied with an acidic bite underneath. Third wine from this winery, all were incredible. — 2 years ago
Revisited outside of a restaurant setting. Out of the bottle, A dark violet, inky coloration. No translucency. Very noticeable tears on glass. On the nose, amarena cherry, blueberry, warm baking spices, pipe tobacco, vanilla, and florals. On the palate, florals, blueberry, blackberry, amarena cherry, cassis, vanilla, very full bodied and velvety mouthfeel. Long finish of predominantly blackberry and cassis. Some pipe tobacco. Medium tannins. Fruit forward, very concentrated and full bodied wine. After an hour, the nose is full on dark chocolate and pipe tobacco. The palate is heavy dark chocolate, oak and dark berry with a very, very long chocolatey finish. After more time to decant add some anise to the mix. — 6 months ago

Not sure of % of each grape. Nebbiolo is the star here and takes center stage. Medium bodied to light, love the “alpine” cold- weather nebs. Will definitely buy more. — 17 days ago
