Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Sylvaner blend.
Fresh, crunchy, with a bit of funk. But pure & juicy. Highly drinkable, with nice roundness and pure, crunchy fruit. A really delicious petnat, w/o trying to pretend it’s something else! — 7 days ago
Nice warm CabS aromatics - black fruit, a touch of herbs, a savoury, darker undergrowth edge.
On the palate this is velvety smooth. Amazing quality of tannins - sandy, dusty fine, juicy & fresh. With layers of dark, creamy, slightly plush fruit on top. Impeccably balanced and with nice depth. A minty hint of+ a touch of vanilla & spice.
Unmistakably Tuscan yet nicely Cabernet in parallel. What a lovely wine! — 13 days ago
Highly elegant nose with ripe apple, lemon tart, shortbread but underneath there is rocky, salty minerality. And a fresh energetic core. Very enticing.
Fresh on the palate, with a hint of tannins and a spicy, exotic note. The racy minerality cuts through, giving an energetic, fresh mouthfeel. Ripe lemons, green grapefruit, a bit of tart apple. This has brilliant energy & nice depth.
Very elegant and quite complex. And highly drinkable!

Brilliantly fresh, juicy & with a slight funky twinkle.
Dark crunchy fruit (cherries, damson plums) but also fresh raspberries, a pinch of dried herbs and a smoky, slightly edgy, fresh minerality. Amazing purity, esp. after breathing a bit.
On the palate this is light footed with a crunchy, juicy light btannic frame filled with fresh fruit and a a bit of crushed rock & smoked roast. Great precision & nice depth. So juicy, so fresh.
Brilliant stuff, esp. with some food (grilled veggies!). Yum!! — 9 days ago
Fresh & with nice energy.
Ripe apricot, white peach, (over)ripe lemons plus a healthy dose of herbs and white pepper. Not unlike a ripe GrüVe (w/o the honey).
On the palate fresh, spicy yet with a nice, round mouthfeel. Spicy apricots with savoury herbal accents.
Brilliant with food (fish!!), otherwise nothing special to write back home. .

Amazing nose - on the richer side, with dark, juicy fruit, a pinch of spice. Great depth & purity. A bit of earthy minerality. Very harmonious & super enticing!
Beautiful presence on the palate. The tannins slowly mellowing yet still with a juicy, spice bite. Purity of fruit and mineral depth. Spatial & with great energy. Elegant and yet so drinkable. Entering the perfect drinking window now. — 7 days ago
Blend of Gewurztraminer & PG.
slightly pink/orange. Amazing nose - aromatic, fresh, citrusy with flower accents. After some time - the classical lychee/rosewater.
More ‘normal’ on the palate - med palate, good freshness. Not bad, but was hoping for a little bit more. — 7 days ago
Big, bold & burly.
Dark fruit with black cherry, blackberry, cassis. But also some lavender, smoky roast, toasted oak. Powerful and with good depth & purity. Fresh, too.
On the palate this packs a punch - big, juicy, chewy tannins, creamy dark fruit and loads of savoury freshness! Not shy nor particularly elegant - but this is good! Esp. with some good Fiorentina! Just give it time to breathe! — 13 days ago

100% Nebbiolo grown on terraces at the entry of the Aosta. Alley in Alto Piemonte.
Fermented & aged in acacia.
A crunchy, juicy light face of Nebbiolo. Lots of fresh red fruit, a bit of cherry and bit of flowery. Let’s, some crushed rock, freshly baked bread. Fairly light, very joyful, very enticing.
On the palate this is equally light & fresh. Just a bit of tanin, juicy fruity acidity and amazing purity. Light yet with depth and an edge. A joy to sip!
Cheap as chips for this level of quality & joy. — 3 days ago
