Monforte d'Alba Rosso dei Dardi Red Blend 2014

One of the great values from Piedmont (imo). Violets, cranberries, blood orange. Sustains well. Very rounded and balanced. Packs a punch especially given the decidedly mid weight body. Excellent. — 7 years ago

Castello di Querceto

Il Sole Di Alessandro Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

A cab from the land of Chianti. At 10 years old the mineral flavors rule the roost with few tannins left over. Probably the perfect time to drink it. — 8 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

Ramato Allegre Vineyard Pinot Grigio

Not quite as interesting as the 14. This vintage runs fruitier and a tad more conventional, though still terribly enjoyable. — 9 years ago

Barbera is supposedly "pizza wine" but I find it more structured than that. Nice :)

Vigneto Saetti

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

Note di Grillo

Wonderful Sicilian natural wine! Deep gold (let’s call it light orange) in color. Hints of grilled lemons with a hint of smoke. Beautifully “funky.” A true winner! Great with appetizers! Thank you Franky Bella for this selection. — 8 years ago
