I get the pinot/nebbiolo comparisons these wines get, but I think it acts a bit more like Grenache (aka Alicante or Cannonau in parts of Italy). I can see why they are on the rise. — 12 years ago
100% carricante. light oxidation and malo nose. citrus. med + body, med acidity, med body. katie says "who needs white burgundy?" about really great carricante. I think we both do. this is like a baby carricante with more crispness and a shorter finish and less dynamism. another perfect summer white. — 12 years ago

Freshness, balance and long lasting aftertaste. What more do you need? Arneis grape for love — 13 years ago
Beautiful brilliant onion skin color. Muted nose on day one with a kind of sauvage impurity. Totally purified on day two: some vanilla, lemon curd, quince in a fresh and light expression. On the palate immediately attractive: round, smooth and light weighted. Keep it for the next day to get more. — 11 years ago

2001, Madonna delle Grazie Il Marroneto Sangiovese. A Brunello with 14 years of aging, doesn't get much better. Still has primary black fruit but layers of secondary flavors. It continues to open up and get more complex through the evening. — 11 years ago
