Il Tabarro Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2020

This reminds me of how good Valpo’s used to be in the 60s and 70s before ripassos and appassiamento took over. (Possibly a tad riper thanks to global warming, though.) Ripe crunchy berry fruit, a bit of spice, almond extract, and some kind of non-oak wood (even though the back label says oak) in the lively nose. Soft and lively in the mouth, with a nice cleansing bitter note growing on the finish. Medium-light body. No tannin to speak of. Yummy pasta or pizza or salumi wine. Drink now! — 11 days ago

2020: Bought at dinner in Positano: felt like I was nosing a 10-20 year old Bordeaux!! Robust tannins and a very expansive dark flavor profile! Lovely! — 4 days ago

Radici Della Famiglia Sei Red Blend

This is a fascinating blend and the Sangiovese red fruits with a touch of gaminess comes through.

Overall this wine benefits from the blend and it is a crowd pleaser

Organic Sangiovese

Very good value for money a great wine. Had it with lemon pasta and the pairing was a great hit. Make sure too drink it at room temperature to get the full benefit of this wine. I had it a bit too cold which closed it up a little, but have also had it at the right temperature and then it even works well on its own. Lots of berries and very well rounded wine, seldome found at this pricepoint. — 4 years ago

A bit of funk, ligh bodied, but more depth than just juice. A good freshness, and energetic. Lovely — 5 years ago
