Blend of local Corsican grapes, which Vermentino was the only one I was familiar with. Tawny gold, ripe yellow fruits, saline freshness, intense concentration and a bit of roundness from lees aging, evocative of scrubby coastal landscapes. Like a good diplomat, an endearing, versatile and fascinating companion to any Mediterranean cuisine — 5 months ago

Castello Di Gabbiano Cavaliere D'Oro Alleanza Toscana Red 2016, Italy

It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Inky in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose with red and black fruits, oak, cloves, peppercorn and dark chocolates.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, light vanilla, herbs, black tea, peppercorn, chocolates and tobacco leaf.

Medium length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 8 year old, Super Tuscan Merlot blend, is drinking very nicely now. Elegant and rich.

Nicely balanced, soft and complex, and feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Robert Parker 92 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food too. Will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon . Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

This is the syrah, but not in the database. Blueberries and some mysterious dark berry on the nose. Surprised to not have more after 1.5 hours decanted. Grippy tannins, but seems a bit flat. Que syrah syrah, right? Update: After 2 hours it's much better. What a difference! Floral and fruity notes balanced with an acidic edge. Full mouth feel, nicely balanced, and undefined fruits. Wow, what a wine this! Definitely needs 2 hours to open. And here I thought the best Syrahs were from France! No, this is a keeper! — 2 years ago

This Etna Rosso is made with 100% Nerello Mascalese (a local variety) that offers a beautiful ruby hue and ripe black cherry, strawberry, pomegranate notes, rose water, licorice, anise, clove, crushed gravel, and earthiness. It’s vibrant and ripe.

It vinified in stainless steel and matured in both neutral oak (for 12 mos) and stainless steel (for another 10 months), lending texture and delicate spice notes. — 5 months ago

Diverso dal 2020, sembra più un Sauvignon, nota minerale, frutta meno evidente, naso diverso. Da aspettare. Appena imbottigliato. — 2 years ago
