Brightness peeks through the minerality and moodiness. Turns out the wine is made by Arianna Occhipinti’s boyfriend and at her same facility. Needs some air to show off all its feathers, but it’s lighter body keeps it from being too dark. — 9 years ago

A late harvest full of spices, tropical fruity, citrus... Long and balanced. A particular Lugana — 11 years ago

Arianna steered me back here as if I'd never had the wine before.

The nose is quiet, withdrawn. Shrimp shell and dried cherry and rosemary-- very 21st century Scandinavian.
Compact and dense in the mouth, with a bridge's substructure of elaborate acidity. More subtlety: yeast and tide pool, return of cherry. Sits and radiates.

Frappato and Nero d'avola still a perfect marriage. But in this one the oak was overpowering and out of balance. Either the oak's to new or it needs some more time. Eager to compare this to Grotte Alte by Arianna Occhipinti which is made just north, if it just wasn't sold out everywhere... — 9 years ago
