2020 vintage. Apparently, Brezza Giacomo e Figli is a certified organic producer in Barolo, known for crafting high-quality Barbera d'Alba Superiore. This was a well-structured Barbera I found best decanted for 30 minutes. Black fruit, herbs and white pepper on the nose. Medium body with notes of blackberry, tart cherry. and dried herbs and a play between moderate acidity and tannin with a exceptional medium length finish. This was perfect with pasta puttanesca and tuna and white bean salad. — 2 days ago

2022 vintage. As good as a quality German Riesling, I’m surprised I’m the first to rate this wine. Made in a kabinett halbtrocken style — light, slightly sweet just shy of dry. Check. Unripened peach and something oily (?) on the nose. A good amount of acidity with a long finish. Like a good Riesling the sugar and acid are well-balanced wine. There is a line of minerality underneath apricot and pineapple flavors. — 9 days ago

2024 vintage. Calkarasi is the grape. Pale straw color. Aromas of lime, unripe peach, and a slight funk that I can identify, pickle (?). Moderate amount of bright citrus fruit acidity that stays mostly on top of the tongue with a balanced finish. Really enjoyable. — 16 days ago

2023 vintage. This is an acidic bomb right out of the bottle and needs 30 minutes or aeration to come to its full potential. Light body, tart, strawberry, pomegranate, and cherry, ending with a touch of tannin, masterfully structured. — 22 days ago
