Raixe Bosco Albarola 2018

I'm bewitched ! Perhaps it's my Ligurian soul but this wine is just so good. Light maceration for Bosco and Albarola grapes, the classic Cinque Terre blend. The terroir is that of Monterosso. But here, the wine is beyond schemes. The nose is intense and so pure, white and yellow flowers, hawthorn and daffodiles, white and yellow peaches, wild herbs, exotic fruits, very harmonic. It makes me feel like walking the valley of Eden. In the mouth the balance is just perfect, body and roundness, the juice is fruity, mineral and herbaceous, acidic, savoury and persistent. I feel so lucky I found this bottle in the cellar tonight and so grateful to a friend that provided me with this rare bird. To be drunk at cellar temperature, definately not chilled. — 5 years ago

Cinque Terre White Bosco Blend 2012

Alas, a great showing for this great white. Very persistent and mineral driven, yet round generous too. But I don't get the sense it wants more bottle age. — 8 years ago

@Kyle Harvey agreed about Ligurian wines!! @Jeff Savigny Cinqueterre is kind of tough though, in my opinion. This producer is the best although it's not easy to find. One of the few places that usually has it is in Rapallo: http://thewellofwines.com

@Jeff Savigny If you like dessert wine try to get some Sciacchetra. From my experience I have only found at the source . Have a wonderful trip!

@Jeff Savigny I bought a few bottles, they were all good and unique but the Walter De Batte stood out

D.O.P. Cinque Terre 2013

Had at Tortuga in Cinque Terre at Monterosso al mare with Jette, very nice white. Pear and apple up front. Floral notes (roses) on the finish. Very easy drinking. Hints of vanilla and popcorn on the nose, but the palate exceeds nose. Blend of Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino — 11 years ago

Pan Vino Bianco 2017

This is one of the first vintages for this young and very interesting (she) winemaker. Vermentino is blended with autochtonous albarola and trebbiano. Aromatic and well balanced, with strong minerality. It is a pleasure to return to the bottle even 2-3 days after. I am sure we will hear a lot of her. — 6 years ago

Bisson

Marea Cinque Terre White Blend 2015

Cinque Terre means five lands. Yellow with gold hue, lemon and tangerine peel, crushed rock, wet stone and rusty blade. On the palate: slightly flint, high acidity, apricots, lemon curd, yellow bouquet floral note, silky texture with smooth coating in the mouth. Say 12.5 % abv on the label but feel more in the mouth. Min 40% Bosco with Max 40% Albarola/Vermentino combined. — 7 years ago
