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. — 5 years ago

Cascina Dardi-Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Already quite mature. Soft,
sweetly aromatic and feminine. Damp roses, blood orange, wet concrete, strawberry rhubarb pie in graham cracker crust. Supple tannins, persistent acidity. Incredible lifted floral perfume and elegance.

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. — 6 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. — 7 years ago

Guarini Syrah

Was hanging with Aldo the other night and it got predictably messy. All his wines were good, but there was a white that I didn't get a snap of that was divine. I'll look into it again and report back. — 8 years ago

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. — 6 years ago

Vigna dei Dardi Barolo Riserva Nebbiolo 1998

Drinking beautifully right now. Red and dark cherries with a black licorice backbone. Beautifully balanced with sweet tannins and bright acidity. Drank at Maialino with white truffled caccio pepe - yummy! — 10 years ago
