This one starts with a fun bouquet that includes some notes of char and brûlée, some leather shop, earthy woods, and drying tobacco aromas, some herbal spice like mint and rosemary, and some tart cranberry and raspberry red fruits. The palate keeps things simple and easy, with juicy cranberry and chewy red cherries and hints of smokiness and vanilla, with a medium-short finish. This grape doesn’t seem to have the tannins and phenolics to balance out the charred wood, but overall it’s a solid value that reminds me of a Brunello di Montalcino I had a while back that was about five times the price. It’s a great food wine that goes well with fresh and simple Italian dishes like plain cheese pizza and pasta with marinara. Organic and vegan for anyone interested in that. — 3 years ago

This wine is such a pleasant surprise still so young but very well balanced with a long life ahead. Only Manferrari can make a wine like this in Friuli. — 6 years ago
Local distributor no longer carrying Red Cat by Hazlitt Vineyards, this was recommended as a suitable substitute. I have to agree with the recommendation. — 7 years ago
Surprisingly fresh & bright with dark cherry and tomato leaf and (nice) animalistic notes.
Bright acidity on the palate, (still) quite chewy tannins, and, again surprisingly, pure dark, pure fruit. Still continues to open up (!) and is, after some time, very elegant. A truly nice one! — 8 months ago
The yellow-tinted wine smells floral and tropical, with white flowers, apricot and mango coming through on the nose. There is also a bit of citrus minerality, like a sidewalk after a rain. The palate shows the stone fruit and tropical aspect, with a hefty slice of acidity to go along with it. So fresh and racy is it that one can feel free to pair this Pinot Grigio with seafood rather than restrict it to salads. — 3 years ago
This wine reminded me of just how great Italian wines are. I imagine a family in Sicily humbly making fantastic wine and selling it at a price the working man can afford every day. — 4 years ago

2023/9. Classically styled Chardonnay- lemon, cream, stone, with any oak not noticeable. There might be a twinge of something salty that makes it seem Adriatic… — 9 months ago
