I love all the punta crena wines but this one especially partially because of the label and the story about the foxes eating the grapes! It’s a bit more dark fruited than the rossesse but still very light on its feet and perfect with a chill on a warm summer night with eggplant pasta! wish I was in Italy!!

As light as gamay but a little different animal. More acidity and blueberry and pepper flavors. Fresh, juicy and gulpable on a Tues night.

Still a light red and served chilled but medium bodied dark cherry flavor. This was paired with rabbit and Jap umboshi. The chef created all the dishes in response to KLWM wines. Kudos!

A grape variety I've never heard of?!? Crovino from Liguria. Juicy like a cru Beaujolais, white pepper like a Rhône, rustic like a northern Piemontese Nebbiolo. Really interesting, but I wish it had a bit more acidity. Feels like something is missing from the mid-palate.

Gamay qualities in this oh so rare varietal made with love. Unique and worth searching for.

Such a great, interesting wine. Light and refreshing, which sounds simple, yet one-of-a-kind because of the unique grape.
