Langhe Nebbiolo

Picked up a 6 pack of the Alessandro Rivetto Langhe Nebbiolo 2018 on Last Bottle Wines for $78. Not a bad deal. Elegant entry level Nebbiolo. Classic notes of tart red cherry, tar, rose, orange pekoe tea and wet earth. Medium plus acidity and ripe sweet tannins. Delicious weekday wine. — 5 years ago

Rosso Viola Lambrusco 2017

DD: 16.02.2018
Черри-кола, чернично-ежевичный конфитюр, пряная слива, молодая морковь с ботвой, тархун, мята, лепестки фиалки, экстракт темного пиона, горькая корица, чуть лакричный финиш. Мягкая игристость со спелой, сладкой, но не липкой фруктовостью и подсушивающим послевкусием. Максимально легко и непринуждённо, но при этом насыщенно и не без определённой структуры. Не прыгает выше головы, но делает то, что должно. И да, это идеальный аккомпанемент к пицце.

@Riddley Walker You get such great Italian wines where you are. Ever in DC? Let me know.

Indeed! And a small piece of paper with the message from the winemaker hidden under the capsule was a nice touch too 👍🏻 @Rob Brobst III

I actually bought this bottle in Ukraine 😉 With politicians playing their games I’m not sure I will get a US visa any time soon being a Russian citizen and all 🤷🏼‍♂️ But I’d like to revisit DC one day! (Stayed for a month there many years ago when I still was in high school) @MaJ CappS

Cascina Dardi Bussia Superiore Barbera d'Alba 2019

Low tannin, medium acid, and a medium-, but smooth and round, mouthfeel made this effortless to drink. Aromas and flavors of cherry, cherry, and every kind of cherry I’ve ever encountered. Simple in the best way, but sort of irresistible too. — 4 years ago

Langhe Rosso Merlot Blend

So I was recently listening to the “wine for normal people” podcast and they mentioned how a lot of the Barolo and Barbaresco producers would put leftover grapes essentially into the newer DOCs. Well I open my little wine fridge and here is this Rosso from Langhe. I thought perfect timing! Not much on the nose but beautiful deep flavors. Low acid, starts with sweeter blue fruit and builds up to vanilla-oak-leather goodness. Firm cold ripe fruit that finishes quickly. Coats the mouth. Chewy, almost ripe fruit flavors. A great everyday Italian reflecting some delicious grapes. — 7 years ago
