9.1

Dark and smoky, the 2013 Cretarossa shows ashen stone, blackberries, sage, underbrush and a spritz of tangerine. It’s silky in texture yet lifted and elegant, with a wave of black fruits coasting along a saline core of acids and minerals. Energy remains high throughout the grippy tannins. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2021) — 3 years ago

Great wine, surely better than expected. But then I think I’d rather a proper taurasi. Trying a touch too hard to approach new age palate. — 4 years ago

First time cooking recommended recipes to pair with wine (orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage). Rainy Sunday, but slowly recovering from sickness — 6 years ago

What a wine and what a bargain. This is a Nebbiolo based blend from the far north of Piedmonte. Big, ripe, a bit tannic but very drinkable. And a 2009 library release just out for $22?! Will be back to get in volume. — 5 years ago

Lots of tar and good acidity, soft tannins. Tobacco, dried roses, a little black pepper. Good chilled and opened up nicely during dinner. — 7 years ago

The best white wine at the James Suckling Great Wines of Italy event. Crisp. Clean. Floral. Nice acidity & minerality. Perfection — 7 years ago

Perfect balance of peppery burnished red berry with hint of plum and tangerine. Prosciutto. No longer. Love this little guy. — 8 years ago

木苺とカシス。アルコール度数14.5なので、当然といえば当然だが、アルコール感、インキーなニュアンス。
まとまり感が素晴らしく艶やかで滑らか。
まだまだ熟成できるポテンシャルあり。 — 6 years ago

This was a beautiful example of this style. Bold and grunty, powerfully fragranced, and elegantly textured. — 7 years ago
