Made half of a red grape (Dolcetto) and half white (Cortese) but looks red. It is so rich and spicy. Honestly, it sings in a Negroni or twist of such. It is rich. It’s a mincemeat pie in a flaky butter crust. On the rocks with an orange twist gives arias. I also super dug it with a bit of bubbly (I had a frizzante on hand) and a touch of ice. — 12 hours ago

Made of Sangiovese and spent 3 hours on skins before pressing. It smells GREAT, slightly of pink teacup rose and seashell. The palate is pleasantly prickly, echoing the nose with an added bonus of seawater. — 20 days ago

Lively, alive even. Prickly red fruit and herbs say hi on the nose. Elevated acid and pleasantly sandpapery tannins create a tense but energetic body that grips yet glides. More red plums and raspberries take a back seat to herbal concoctions and purple flowers. The finish goes on and on, leaning more into fruit and florals. Simply a stunner, my gosh. — 22 days ago

Super herbal with a white pepper kick and a touch of salty slate — 20 days ago

Salted honeydew on the nose with a touch of golden toast. On the palate, salted greens and fresh white peach salad lilt. So craveable. — 20 days ago

An open nose of salinity and darker fruit. The palate has a touch of cocoa and a touch of cranberry fruit even? Yes! Total cranberry freshness. If you get a chance to visit the Varramista winery, you should. It’s stunning, has antique Vespas on display, and their glassware is exceptional. — 20 days ago

Sparkly geode vibes, mineral and purple plums and spice on the nose, textured with ample dried and ripe red berries on the body. The tannins are elevated but sandy and friendly, a wine that, along with salinity and tempting herbal notes, makes it a food wine if ever there was one. — a month ago

Potent nose of earth, cedar and prunes, spice and salt. — 20 days ago

Gorgeous red fruit and roses, violet, and the slightest hint of balsamic. Light on the palate with sandy medium-plus tannins, you get the florals, then acidic lemon and tomato paste (high quality) kick through, finishing with (again) a touch of balsamic. It has the heart of a dancer with the mind of a long-distance runner. — 20 days ago

70% Sangiovese, 30% Colorino, and 100% crushable. The nose has some anise-y notes and herbs, leading to a juicy but saline body. Freshness galore, sip and slosh. — 20 days ago
