Damilano

Barbera d'Asti 2021

The origins of the Damilano family dates back to over a century ago, when Guiseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, started to grow and make wine from his own grapes. Medium Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits and generous spice. On the palate this medium body wine shows flavors of juicy cherry and blackberry with notes of citrus and vanilla spice. Light tannin structure, lively acidity, medium ending with fruit finish. Nice value. Drink now, consistent, no aging benefit. — 2 years ago

Bricco dell'Uccellone Barbera d'Asti 2001

What a gorgeous example of the virtues of aged Barbera... Sandalwood, raisins, cranberries, dried cherries, spicebox and beef blood.
Marvelous!

@Chris Koupal It's getting cold here in the mid Atlantic . A pie sounds like a plan. I'll have to crack open a bottle .

Work has been hectic. Needed some me time tonight. F it (or no, F is also very good, but in this case I "I" 'd it. I I'd it. Id it? Oh F it you know what I mean!!!) Orin Swift letter (location) bottles are some of the best value bottles out there. Italy doesn't disappoint - $16 well-spent. Other me time highlights tonight: sushi, massage w/ a focus on occipitalis (oh yes....), my new fav JT jam on the radio, and being giddy about Chelsea's new Netflix show premier tonight. Oh, and this post was brought to you by the letter I — 10 years ago

Always enjoy reading your post. I'm dying to know what you thought of Chelsea's new show?

Do u like her too? She is hysterical. Loved Chris Martin's performance, loved the monologue, was a little segmented thereafter, but I'm sure she will get in her groove. I thought the Cheslea Does shows were solid

She is hysterical . I tend to agree with you. A little more insight. I thought Chris Martin's performance was excellent...think Drew saved it at the end. It felt a little lost to me. I'll report back after watching the second episode later today.

Trebbiolo Rosso Barbera Bonarda 2017

Barbera & Bonarda blend from an Emilia Romagno maker. I love this style- gave a good 45+ min decant. Imagine the Bonarda offsets the Barbera fruitiness. Keeps a taut line btw vegetal acidity & that earthy fruitiness. Natural maker of some serious orange wines. 13% alcohol. Didn’t hurt that we drank at sunset, on the Hudson River at home. — 7 years ago
